Description:
The Fourth Annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the
Mathematical Sciences, will again bring together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school
teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing the gap between mathematicians and teachers
of mathematics, and between those who do and enjoy mathematics and those who don't. Its theme this time
is Writing, Speaking and Thinking Mathematics. The conference will explore connections between numeracy
and literacy, mathematics and language, mathematics and literature, and how we can use language to teach
mathematics.
