<br>
<br>
First, come join us for our next OUCTM meeting which will be Thursday, February 28th at 6pm in Morton 313. Daniel Showalter, a PhD candidate in the College of Education will be giving a presentation entitled "Problem-posing through three mysterious laws of
nature."<br>
<br>
Dan will use Dan Meyer's TED video on problem-posing education to show a sample interdisciplinary lesson/activity that uses problem-posing mathematics, as well as concepts from science. We will be using real data and technology that to analyze the results.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also coming up is our big speaker of the year, Dr. Eric (Rico) Gutstein, who will be talking about how to create a social-justice centered mathematics curriculum. You won't want to miss it! We are expecting a big crowd.
<b>This meeting will be Pi Day, Thursday, March 14th at 7pm in Walter 235.</b> Mark it on your calendars! For more information on his work, visit
