During this hour-long interactive presentation, upper elementary school students learn what a mathematician does. Students learn about research in mathematical neuroscience and visually tour several areas of math including braid arithmetic, cryptology, movie animation, origami, and Chladni patterns. Finally, students work as mathematicians creating conjectures and proving theorems relating to a simple counting game.
