Presentation
Picturing the Infinite
Annual Math Teaching Conference, Boise State University (2024)

Abstract
In this session, we will consider how pictures can provide serious fun and creative opportunities for students to represent and understand the infinite. To do so, we will explore a variety of tasks and images that you can use to teach number topics from repeating decimals to geometric series. For even more serious fun, we will also address the nuanced meaning of the equals sign when the infinite is involved.
