In-Person Field Trip Activities
All MoMath field trips feature hands-on, grade-appropriate activities illuminating the joy of mathematics to students of all mathematical backgrounds!
Educator-Led Activities
Roll up your sleeves for these 45-minute activities with a MoMath educator, during which students will take a deeper dive into the some of the exhibits at MoMath on Fifth.
- Solve for X: an exploration of operations using exhibits such as Sea Saw, Math Unleashed, and Organ Function Grinder (for grades 5 through 12)
- The Third Dimension: exploring 3D geometry using exhibits such as Ring of Fire, Polyscope, and Structure Studio (appropriate for all grade levels)
- Symmetry Playground: a playful experience with symmetry using exhibits such as Self Reflections, Miles of Tiles, and PolyPaint (for grades K through 8)
- Cryptography Scavenger Hunt: explore cryptography and break secret codes to find your way around the exhibits at MoMath on Fifth (for grades 3 through 12)
Collaborative Construction Experiences
Work together during these 45-minute, collaborative group construction experiences. Activities are appropriate for all grade levels.
