Come play Math Trek, the Cary's own mathematics, movement and photography game!

My favorite part is watching kids warm up to the topic. The math term we use - gradient, variable, array - usually makes little sense at first. As kids find more and more examples around, together, their math eyes grow. Suddenly, they start seeing that math idea literally everywhere around! 

We are meeting Tuesday, October 25th at 2pm at Raleigh Farmers Market, by the ATM that is between the open and the covered pavilions. Our topic is Circles and Disks.

  • The game is free and open to all ages.
  • Email your Trek photos to math...@posterous.com (you can do it during or after games)
  • Bring your cameras
  • Bring snacks and water
  • Dress comfortably to move around
  • If you like surprises, don't look at the attached game sheet - this is what we are playing tomorrow!

You can see past photos and game sheets at http://mathtrek.posterous.com/
