Imagine Math Day

Math Forum community member John Mahoney recently wrote to let us know that, "Darryl Yong and Michael Orrison have written an intriguing article in the current issue of MAA's FOCUS on 'Imagine Math Day: Encouraging Secondary Students and Teachers to Engage in Authentic Mathematical Discovery.'"
Imagine Math Day is an outreach activity designed to engage secondary school students and their teachers in authentic mathematical discovery. The Harvey Mudd College (HMC) Professional Development and Outreach Group has designed and carried out this program annually at HMC since 2006. View photos and activities here:
