Math Pictionary

Only 2 weeks left until finals!  AWM  would like to hold one more social event before all of the final craziness ensues, so join us  tonight at 5pm over Zoom for Math Pictionary!  It will be like regular Pictionary (where you make people guess words by drawing pictures), but only with math-related terms. We hope that you can join us tonight for our last event of 2020!
