We'll play mathematical board games, and learn a few new concepts like: Nets, 3D cubes with Escher like designs (tessalations) and how they fold, ri- and hexa- hexaflexagons, Mastermind.
The following supplies will be needed:

- Scissors

- 4 colored crayons

- Scotch tape

- glue stick

- 1-2 Tea Light (LED only please), or you can borrow one from us.

 

We’ll also bring a some of these supplies but we want to make sure no one gets left out, so extras will help. We are looking forward to meeting you all! We'll send out one more reminder a couple of days before the event.
