Educational Experience in Math (SEE-Math), Senior Counselor, July
2007. Instructor, "Dancing in Groups" 2008. I developed a workshop
where students were introduced to the mathematical concept of a group
as well as dances that formed groups (integers mod three or four and a
three or four element permutation group). We explored ideas about
parity, commutivity, and inverses. (If you'd like an outline of this
seventy minute workshop, send me an e-mail!)
