Facilitator: Dave Auckly

Session Title: Triangle Groups

ABSTRACT - There are many cool things one can do with triangles, ranging from mathematically-inspired artistic constructions, to surprising relations between paths and sequences of letters with symmetry and rigid motion. We will discuss some of these demonstrating tasks suitable for students in all grades K – 12.

Thank you to Dave Auckly, Professor of mathematics at Kansas State University, for the lively, informative and EXCELLENT session (Triangle Groups) on 10/5/2017. Dave is a wonderful facilitator who kept us very engaged and energized as he moved barefoot around the room! He was amaing!! Thank you also to the Olive Garden for generously donating our meal! We so appreciate your support!
