Richard Hoshino, Northeastern University

"Developing Connections through Rich Mathematical Problems"

In this informal and interactive workshop, Richard will present three puzzles, and share stories of how these problems have led to authentic mathematical experiences for his students.  In the process of solving these puzzles together, we will uncover how these problems link key undergraduate topics taught in the Faculty of Mathematics.  Finally, we will explore how we might integrate inquiry-driven problem-solving into all of our courses.
