The Family Math Afternoon
Our family math afternoon continues this spring with a Pi Day celebration this Saturday, March 14! It’s for middle school students and their families. The session features Engaging Math Problems, Logic Puzzles, and Thinking Games. You will enjoy a selection of engrossing and hands-on math activities. This month we have a strong Pi-centric theme! The mathematical fun will be infinite! No prior registration is needed for the Family Math Afternoon. We meet in the Community Room.
