Friday October 25, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Frontenac B, Fairmont
Building on Thursday evening's keynote, this session will focus on some practical ways to develop mathematical "virtues", which are aspects of character / attitudes/ habits of mind / dispositions that we hope to build in our students.
