Resource: Free "Math Night" Activities
Provider:National Science Foundation
Summary:What's Math Night? It's a fun event, supported by the National Science Foundation, that was created for kids in elementary school and their parents.
Description:On Math Night, kids and their parents see math displays and participate in activities that may include math problems to solve or math-based crafts to make and take home. Families compete in math games, and work in teams to solve math problems. The ideas and resources for the math displays, crafts, and games are all archived in the "Math Night Modules" located at this website. You can print them out and use them to enjoy fun math projects at home.
