  5. Official Objectives • Our primary objective is to bring together a diverse body of mathematically trained professionals who individually incorporate the arts in their educational activities. As a group, we will brainstorm to identify promising areas and techniques for a wider movement of math education via the arts. Then we will strategize by sketching proposal ideas, considering possible funding means, making detailed proposals, and assembling focused teams to implement the results appropriately.

  6. More Objectives We hope to incubate a range of projects in which the participants engage in development and dissemination that will ultimately transfer ideas to educators, students, and the public. This will likely include traditional means—such as exhibits, books, websites, workshops, videos, and special sessions at education conferences—but should include novel ideas as well.

  7. Possible Outcomes • New individual projects • New collaborations • Book of art/math activities aimed at teachers • Conference or special session • Resource material, e.g., website, CDROM, … • Exhibits, one-time, traveling, or permanent • Art/math museum • List of research questions • Proposals • Other…

  8. Plan Goals • Math is beautiful • Math is cool • Math is fun • Math is useful • Math can contribute to society • Math is hard but worth it Strategies — what do we want to achieve Needs Obstacles Projects Assessment
