Intercultural Math Game
October 19th or 20th at 11am on Zoom
Join us for an exciting online card game that tests your math skills while learning about different levels of cultural competency.
This is a free an online event funded by Mass STEM Week for ages 16 and up which is divided into three parts:
- Varying level of math challenges where you can recruit assistance from other players – or not
- Trade, give, or accept cards with other players to try and achieve a winning hand
- Open discussion and debrief about the experience and how it applies to real life
How it works:
- Register below by October 17th. There are limited spots so be sure to register ASAP.
- You will be emailed instructions about how to play the game as well as your starting “hand” of cards. Your hand and your rules may be very different from other players.
- PLEASE go through the instructions and email any questions you have before the event begins. If you wait until the event starts to go through the instructions there may not be time to answer your questions and you may not have sufficient playing time.
- You will be sent the Zoom link before the start of the event. Make sure to have your name display be the same as your registered name or you may not be admitted to the event.
- You should have some comfort in navigating Zoom and writing instant messages on Zoom.
- If you are more than 5 minutes late, you may not be accepted into the event as the game will begin promptly.
- You do not need to know advanced math to participate.
