Each spring, the Taylor University Math Department collaborates with Indiana Wesleyan to provide a fun and enriching field day for high school students! This year, on March 14, Indiana Wesleyan will host nearly 200 high school students from the Grant County area for Math Field Day. The activities are planned and executed by Taylor and Indiana Wesleyan math majors and faculty, particularly the pre-service secondary math teachers currently enrolled in Dr. Eggleton’s Teaching Math in Secondary Schools class. Math majors and minors always join in on the fun by volunteering to help run the activities. The Taylor University students and faculty see it as a great opportunity to serve the community by sharing a love for mathematics and challenging the students to relate mathematics to different contexts not typically covered in the classroom. This year, the featured activities include a math trail, mobius strips and other paper cutting, and Monty Hall. We’re looking forward to upholding the tradition of Math Field Day this March and in years to come!
