Keynote: Sparking Curiosity
Math (and education in general) should spark curiosity. How do we do that in the math classroom? How do we show that math is exciting, creative, and not just about using a formula? This session will go over ways to make students and teachers more curious learners.

Howie Hua is a math instructor at Fresno State, teaching math to students who want to become elementary school teachers. He is always on the lookout for ways to humanize the math classroom. His teaching goal every semester is to show that everyone is a mathematician.

Howie uses math memes and videos to help engage and teach all people that they are mathematicians. If you haven't seen any of his videos or memes check him out on Twitter or TikTok.
