Math Games


Family Math Game Night

Each winter Acton PIP holds a Family Math Game Night including Domino Math Games, Sudoku and KenKen©. These math games are a simple, inexpensive, fun way for students from kindergarden through high school to practice estimation skills and number facts. Younger children can play addition and subtraction KenKen or Domino games using dominos sets with 0-6 or 0-10 dots per tile; 2012 Family Math Game Roboticsadvanced students can play multiplication and division KenKen games or experiment with equations using domino sets with 0-15 dots per tile. No two games are alike, which keeps KenKen, Sudoku and Domino Math fresh and exciting. Acton PIP provides the dominos and volunteers hand out game instructions. All you have to do is show up with your family. A Village Art Workshop promotes Math and Art Patterns, such as fractals. This year's event includes Legos and a robotics demonstration by MIT Lincoln Lab! While enjoying the game night, find out about other PIP events, such as, Market Math and Star Parties. We'll also hold an informal PIP meeting for anyone interested in volunteer opportunities.
