Title<\/strong>: \u201cMath for Real: High School Math Solves Real Problems\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date<\/strong>: Mar 12, 2018 \u2013 Mar 14, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location:  <\/strong>Room 230, The Fields Institute, 222 College Street, Toronto, On, M5T 3J1 MAP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsored by the Fields Institute of Mathematics and NSERC PromoScience<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description: <\/strong>Math modeling links classroom knowledge in mathematics and computer science to solve real problems in everyday life. It engages students in mathematical reasoning, creative problem solving and team working. We believe that students benefit greatly if they learn at an early age that how exciting and valuable it is to apply mathematics to real world problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0International Mathematical Modelling Challenge<\/a>\u00a0(IM2C) is coming, we hold the three-day \u201cMath for Real\u201d workshop to help students gain confidence in the competition. \u00a0Although the Workshop is intended for students in Grades 9-12, teachers are also welcome to attend. Participants will have an inspiring experience in modeling, programming, technical writing, and team-building. At the end of the workshop, the participants will walk through the process via a mini mock contest. In addition, plenary talks on math modeling given by professors will take you to unexpected places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
