As part of the Newton Free Library‘s expanded STEAM programming, on May 13, teachers from Newton’s Russian School of Mathematics will host an hour of engaging games, puzzles, and hands-on activities for kids in the Library’s Druker Auditorium: Grades 1-4 at 3:30PM, then Grades 5-8 at 4:30PM. RSM aims to make math more accessible to all children, to shed stigmas that kids may associate with it, and to encourage flexing of problem-solving muscles! The program is free, but registration is required (Grades 1-4 , Grades 5-8). For more information, contact the Children’s Room at 617-796-1370.
