Math Mania is an evening of mathematical demonstrations, puzzles and hands-on activities for elementary school children. It’s designed to show children – and their parents – how much fun you can have playing with mathematical games and concepts.
Volunteers run individual tables, each with their own activity or activities. You’ll get a chance to try out your games before the children appear – you don’t need to be an expert, just enthusiastic! If you’re collecting volunteer hours for a practicum or for entrance into a teaching program, we can give you a letter describing your involvement.
Upcoming Dates:
- February 1, 2017 (5:30 – 8:30 pm) – Yarrow Community School, Yarrow (20 minutes away from UFV Abbotsford Campus)
- May 17, 2017 (5:30 – 8:30 pm) – Chilliwack Adventist Christian School, Chilliwack (20 minutes from UFV Abbotsford Campus)
