This presentation will feature Ilana Walder-Biesanz, CEO of National Math Stars, an organization that works to identify and support the needs of mathematically gifted students. In this first event, the speaker will share one group\u2019s approach to addressing the learning and policy needs of mathematically gifted students, followed by a 30-minute discussion about the ideas presented and what they mean for our own work and contexts.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"6400\" height=\"4799\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25.jpg 6400w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25-636x477.jpg 636w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/files\/2025\/10\/Ilana-Walder-Biesanz-Talk-Flyer-Fall-25-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 6400px) 100vw, 6400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us on Thursday, November 06 from 1:30pm-3:00pm in Room 423 of WED (2 Silber Way, Boston, MA 02215) for the first talk in this year&#8217;s Mathematics Education Speaker Series.
