Go Figure! – March 1st – June 14th
Go Figure! transforms charming children’s books into a kids-sized world where children and adults delight in exploring math and books. The exhibit offers hands-on, play-filled experiences with simple math concepts, and areas for children and adults to read together. Each environment offers a unique setting in which the vital link between parent and child is supported without being prescriptive. Parental interest and involvement can foster a child’s natural curiosity and intuitive sense of math, making a difference in school and later in life.
Developed by Minnesota Children’s Museum in partnership with the American Library Association and supported by the National Science Foundation.
