The Mathematics Department of the University of Michigan-Flint will sponsor a free Family Math Night on Tuesday, March 27, 6:30 p.m.in the Michigan Rooms, University Center. Activities are appropriate for elementary school students.
Family Math Night is an opportunity for children and their parents to have fun together with math. Various activities, such as puzzles and games, will be scattered around the room. Each activity takes a few minutes and children will have a chance to try quite a few different ones. 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.
Advance registration is encouraged (though not required), and can be done by phoning the Math Department at 810-762-3244, emailing to tinac@umflint.edu, or stopping by the math office in 402 Murchie Science Building. Admission is free, and open to the public.
