NWMI Number Train!

In this Park City style non-lecture course, participants will explore many areas of counting, discrete math and number theory, from K-12 topics such as number patterns (using Cuisinaire rods), difference tables, functions on sets, and counting problems such as Simplex lock codes.

Come create mathematical connections between topics you teach and major contemporary applications.

HS and MS Teachers who wish to expand their mathematical horizons while experiencing the learning of math through investigation in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Math Content of this Course	In this Park City style non-lecture course, participants will explore many areas of counting, discrete math and number theory, from K-12 topics such as number patterns (using Cuisinaire rods), difference tables, functions on sets, and counting problems such as Simplex lock codes. Come create mathematical connections between topics you teach and major contemporary applications.
Format of Park City Math Courses	The IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute offers a renowned series of problem-based math courses for teachers in Utah each summer. These courses are notable in that they are based on teachers doing math problems together at tables and that they start at very basic math and end up in surprising and beatiful results. The NWMI course is based on one of these Park City courses. The instructor, Brian Hopkins has served as instructor and table leader for the course in Park City, as well as teaching at NWMI for many summer. PLUS a rich and relaxed optional program of After-Dinner Math.
