Intent on Creation [Family Math Night]

Everywhere I looked last night I saw people intent on making math. It was glorious!

I also hasten to add that while there are lots and lots of materials provided, kids and adults are free to do with the materials what they will. This often leads to unexpected and marvelous personal discoveries and creations, like these:

  4. As a conclusion, I show three angles of the interlocking cubes one participant made.
    I hasten to add that, despite the abundance of materials offered, both children and adults are allowed to use the resources anyway they see fit.
    This frequently results in wonderful and unexpected personal discoveries and creations,
