Kassia Omohundro Wedekind, author of Math Exchanges, delivered a wonderful keynote on day two at the Wayland Math Institute. Her presentation encouraged child-friendly, risk-taking, dynamic math workshops where students exchange ideas, engage in math learning, and publish what they learn. She further encouraged all of us to "live a rich mathematical life" and to share that life through storytelling, play, and problem solving.
The notes below reflect Wedekind's links, strategies, and efforts. I hope to synthesize these ideas with greater effort in the weeks to come as I look forward to school year 2013-2014.
