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.

"Impossible" Puzzles to Challenge Your Thinking #2 !
Friday October 25, 2024 8:30am - 9:45am PDT
Macdonald C, Fairmont
This presentation follows my last year’s with new puzzles. You will be given a number of the best simple, yet challenging, Mathematical puzzles, conundrums and paradoxes that I could find to solve using your creative, lateral, logical, inductive & analytical thinking, however the surprising answers will seem very counter-intuitive! You will be able to share these entertaining and educational puzzles with your students to naturally enhance their curiosity and interest with Mathematical topics. These activities are not really about numbers, since Mathematics truly isn't about numbers, its about thinking logically!
