Come and join us!
Our Math Festival offers an unforgettable experience for the whole family, bringing together kids, parents, and math enthusiasts for a fun and interactive exploration of recreational mathematics.
The participants will be able to explore many stations during the event: problem-solving, logic, math puzzles, optical illusions, hands-on math of all kinds, origami, math games, competitions, construction, and much more.
There will be stations for five-year-old newbies and advanced 12-year-olds, with plenty of opportunities for curious parents to join the crowd.
Come and join us. There will be over 30 tables to play!
Below are some of the stations that we invite you to visit.
Logical Problems
Everyone, young and old, loves logic problems. Want to learn more about this station? Follow this link.
Mathematical Origami
A piece of paper folded into a sculpture happens to be both an artistic creation and a geometric construction. Kids will learn to make their own geometric origami and explore pieces made by origami professionals.
Cryptography, codes, ciphers
This station is a special challenge for those who love mysteries.
There will be problems for the aspiring code breakers and code makers, as well as for fans of cryptarithmetic (problems in which letters have been substituted for numerals).
Construction
When toothpicks and creativity are mixed in the right proportion, the results can and do defy imagination. Creativity, of course, is a kid's domain. Expect to see fantastic creatures, wondrous geometric shapes, and royal castles built by kids of all ages (and some adults!)!
Math paper crafts
Can you construct a surface that has just one side? How about folding a paper circle into a tetrahedron?
Can you fold a strip of paper into a cool tetraflexagon? Visit this station to explore our favorite math paper craft activities.
Optical illusions
Optical illusions are a clever way to use mathematics to evoke curiosity in children.
Strategic board games, puzzles, and other diversions
This station is quite self-descriptive. Come and play!
