Elementary school students and their parents engage in an evening of fun with math games and logic puzzles. Students and faculty from the Mathematics and Statistics Department volunteer as monitors for the event. The synergy of mathematical demonstrations, puzzles, and hands-on activities is a delight to all! The intent is to show children \u2013 and their parents \u2013 how much fun there is to be playing with mathematical games and concepts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2016\/01\/Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2938\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2938 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2016\/01\/Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas-300x199.png\" alt=\"Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2016\/01\/Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2016\/01\/Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas-150x99.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2016\/01\/Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2016\/01\/Math_Mania-2016-Upper_sumas.png 971w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Math Mania was born out of a passion for sharing the joy and beauty of mathematics.
