Welcome to Math Adventure 2018

 
On the evening of May 18th, 2018, from 6pm to 8pm, Math Adventure will be returning to Newcastle Elementary for a night of math puzzles and adventure – this year Math Detective Teams will solve a cold, creamy crime! This epic math night, complete with pizza dinner, is dedicated to making math fun in a very unique way. Teams work together to solve puzzles which reveal clues – and those clues unlock the adventures which kids love.  Registration will close May 16th.
