The MUSEUM OF NUMBERS (MoN) is a traveling mathematics museum / exhibition with hundreds of interactive math exhibits and hands on activities. We tour schools to provide an immersive experience to the participants. From geometry and symmetry to probability, algorithms, and infinity, MoN brings abstract concepts to life through engaging displays and interactive activities like treasure hunts, escape rooms, math trails, day-in-the-life scenarios, skill-specific workshops, and high speed games. These are designed to spark excitement and wonder about mathematics.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should be the grade level of the participants?
Activities are appropriate for third grade and up, as basic knowledge of arithmetic is needed for many activities.
How long will it take to experience all exhibits and activities at an event?
We expect it will take 3+ days to work on all that MoN has to offer at any event. The exhibition's value is best derived as a day-long or weekend event. We typically bring 30 activities to the event from our vast collection. This ensures that every event is fresh and unique.
Won't the students be bored working on mathematics for the entire day?
The variety and design of the activities / concepts ensure that students remain engaged. The activities are presented as immersive experiences in interesting real-life scenarios, action-oriented content, and hands-on experiments. Active participation is rewarded with giveaways and prizes. We also continue only those exhibits and activities that have received enthusiastic participation at our previous events. Museum of Numbers is also able to customize the content for the target audience and bring in new experiments at every event. When students try these activities, they understand real life applications of what they learn in school.
How much space is needed for the event?
A typical event is prepared for 200-600 students. Most schools enjoy the "Day of Math" as an event for the entire student body, in their classrooms.
How much does it cost to bring the event to our school?

Can the school use the event as a fundraiser?
Yes, we will work with the school to help with fundraising.
How many volunteers will the school need to provide during the event?
None. We will bring in all the supplies and personnel who are background checked, TB tested, and fingerprinted.
