Family Math Night at UM-Flint, Oct. 27

The University of Michigan-Flint Department of Mathematics, in collaboration with the UM-Flint Elementary Mathematics Program, is hosting their autumn Family Math Night on Tuesday, October 27, from 6-8pm in the UM-Flint University Center Michigan Rooms.

This free event is an opportunity for children and their families to have fun together with math. The event is open to all ages, but is most appropriate for elementary aged children, grades K-6.

Various activities, such as puzzles and games, will be set up around the rooms. Each activity takes a few minutes and children will have a chance to try as many as they like. The emphasis is not on numerical computation, but rather on such things as estimation, patterns, spatial and geometrical perception, and hands-on activities. No special knowledge or previous experience is necessary!

This event is open to the public, and math resources, door prizes, pizza, and refreshments will be provided at no charge.

For refreshment purposes, please register in advance and indicate the number of people planning to attend by leaving a message at 810.762.3244 or emailing mbarbee@umflint.edu.
