Math Festival Kit

What is a math festival?

A math festival is

• A bunch of non-curricular math activities that are engaging and engrossing
• A group of tables staffed with facilitators who encourage participants to persevere by asking thoughtful questions without simply giving the answers
• Participants (students, children, adults) employing mathematical thinking and reasoning to solve puzzles and play games that are challenging for their particular math level, from pre-k through graduate school.
• Joyful math for all people.
