The Mystery Underground featuring Agnes Meyer Driscoll

April 11, 2024, at 4 PM Pacific

Presenters: Kari Jurgenson, Cynthia E. Taylor, Christa Jackson

In this webinar, we describe how teachers and teacher educators may use the mathematical contributions of Agnes Meyer Driscoll, the featured mathematician in the Powerful Mathematicians who Changed the World Grade 6-8 book, The Mystery Underground. Agnes Meyer Driscoll was a key player in foreign intelligence and a pioneer in the field of cryptology. Her contributions are highlighted throughout the story, which follows a group of middle school students who learn about Agnes Meyer Driscoll’s work and use it to create and crack secret messages throughout the story. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in mathematics related to cryptology as well as learn about ways teachers and teacher educators may use this book in their classroom. The presenters will share mathematical problem solving opportunities embedded in the story as well as supplemental resources provided with the book.
