Welcome to the Sched site for the Northwest Mathematics Conference!

ALL WORKSHOPS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED - signing up in Sched does not guarantee you a spot in a session. However, planning your day in Sched really helps us anticipate any potential need to make room changes.

If you create a free account, you can plan and edit your schedule. You may wish to select more than one session in a timeslot as a backup, in case your first choice of session is full.

On the right side of the schedule you can filter by grade band. This will include the sessions which span more than one grade band. You may also wish to view the Schedule as Expanded.

Fibbing, no fibbing! A workshop in Fibonacci poetry
Saturday October 26, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am PDT
Callaghan, Westin
In this hands-on math art workshop, we will start by exploring the Fibonacci/ Hemachandra/ bee number sequence and some examples of the beautiful Fib poetry written by Bridges Math and Art poets -- then write our own Fib poems! In the process, we'll discuss the reciprocal ways that mathematical forms can inspire and shape literary arts, and poetic works can spark deeper understandings of mathematics. We'll also talk about our experiences of using creative constraints to make both mathematics and the arts more approachable.
