This session is designed from the book by Sarah Strong, "Dear Math". If math were an entity, able to sit next to you in the same room, what would you say to it? This is what students were asked. Their task was to write a letter to math. In their letters to math they typically hold nothing back. In this session we will discuss some of the reasons why students define math as their least favorite subject. The evidence for such hatred for the subject comes from student's voices in their letters to "math". In this session we will write our own letter to math. Participants will leave with a ready to go lesson plan for implementing this assignment with their students.
