Math is Actually Really Relaxing

Speaker: Casey Mariscal of Eastern New Mexico University

Description:

Using Math to create balance. Math helps us balance our lives the same way it balances equation. When one side is empty, the whole system is off. Unless you are a quadratic.

What if we approached personal well-being the same way we approach math by aiming for balance? This interactive session uses simple math concepts as a metaphor to help participants reflect on what drains their energy, what restores them, and how small, intentional choices can create a more sustainable daily rhythm. Through hands-on activities, reflection, and practical strategies, attendees will explore how to “add” supportive habits, “subtract” stressors, and build routines that prevent burnout. Participants will leave with a personalized plan and a fresh perspective on self-care as structured, necessary, and achievable, rather than selfish.

Objectives:

Participants will be able to understand how to fill their cups with their needs and thier wants, by using a math equation to understand how to use it throughout their weeks as a future teacher.
