SACRED HEART MINI MATH CONFERENCE

ACTIVITY BOOKLET

CREATED AND COMPILED BY THE STUDENTS OF

EMTH 215

FALL 2001 SEMESTER

You will recall that there were 35 math stations at the conference. Some of these stations had more than one activity, grouped according to mathematical topic and sharing of materials. Altogether we had 49 activities. This activity booklet is organized according to the order of the stations in the chart below. Use the following chart to locate the activities in the booklet. Page numbers that each station starts on can be found in the right-hand column. The numbers in brackets following the student names indicate the EMTH 215 sections they are in (either section 10 or 20).

I hope you enjoy this booklet. If you want to see some web links for the following activities (most activities have at least one link) please go to http://education.uregina.ca/mathed and click on the mini math conference link on the mathed home page.

Thank you again for coming to work with us on November 22. We really enjoyed the visit.
