Abstract: We propose the construct of playful math to support instances of student authoring. Authoring positions students as authors of mathematics in an environment in which students and teachers meet as epistemological equals. By emphasizing student agency and autonomy, playful math encourages students to explore self-selected goals as they design novel problems for one another or for their teachers. We introduce two types of novel mathematics that emerged from student authoring, Unfamiliar Problem and Catalyst, and share one example of each to envision a mathematics education future that celebrates student authoring.
