FSU hosts Tallahassee community for 10th annual Math Fun Day
The Florida State University Department of Mathematics welcomed K-12 students, their families and members of the Tallahassee community last week for the 10th annual Math Fun Day, an event demonstrating how math exists in exciting ways all around us, far beyond what we see in worksheets and homework.
Math Fun Day, which is free and open to the public, invites attendees to take part in various hands-on activities and engaging demonstrations that derive from mathematical theories and practices.
This year’s event, held Saturday, Feb. 1, in the Love Building on FSU’s main campus, was conducted in partnership with the FSU Festival of the Creative Arts, a month-long campus-wide collaborative festival highlighting varied areas of research and creativity.
“Math Fun Day has a lot of hands-on opportunities, visuals and exciting activities to show that math is a lot of fun,” said Monica Hurdal, Math Fun Day director, biomathematics professor and associate chair for academic affairs in FSU’s mathematics department. “At the event, people are often surprised to see how each activity relates to mathematics. Encouraging students to think this way and change their perspective on math is so enjoyable.”
