University School of Milwaukee hosted its third annual Math Family Fun Night on Thursday, Feb. 19. The event featured brain-twisting puzzles, interactive exhibits, a large-scale Tetris-like game (created by Matthew Gagnier in USM’s own Middle School makerspace), and group games, all designed to help kids and adults have fun and enjoy math together.
More than 100 attendees, including Lower School and Middle School students and families and several student volunteers, enjoyed the evening, which was hosted by Assistant Head of School Amy Hand, Executive Assistant to the Head of School Mark Conner, and USM faculty.
“I’m thrilled that this is a new tradition our families have embraced,” said Hand. “It’s wonderful to see parents and kids engaging in math playfully, at an event that’s both fun and purposeful. I also love helping people see that math is so much more than arithmetic—it’s logic, it’s geometry, it’s art, and so much more!”
