Free Family Fun! Come nerd out with us!
 
The Community Classroom tutoring center and the Western Massachusetts Math Partnership (WMMP) are excited to celebrate #NiceTuesday with Sidewalk Math in downtown Northampton! #NiceTuesday are events hosted by the Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce to support small businesses in downtown (and give us amazing opportunities to play, eat, and shop!).
 
Sidewalk math is an opportunity for families to explore math in a fun and covid-safe way. It takes the math out of its usual environment and plops it on sidewalks, giving families and passersby the opportunity to play, discuss, and ponder. And enjoy math!
 
A digital map will be available for families to use, with Sidewalk Math tasks posted throughout downtown at 20 different sidewalk locations.
 
For kids and grownups 5 years and up (the littles may need more adult support, at times the grownups may need more kid support).
 
Need help? We'll have socially-distanced Strolling Mathematicians at the ready!
 
Rain contingency plan: Math tasks will be posted in rain-safe locations. Grab your galoshes!
