Program Description
Event Details
Math Buddies* is hosting a math game club for elementary students at the New Canaan Library. All students in grades K-4 are welcome!
Students will be grouped by age and/or math ability and will participate in board and card games as well as experiential play that will help reinforce math skills while having fun! Younger students can purchase groceries and add up their totals while cashiers make change. Board games such as Math Swatters and POP will help with addition and subtraction while Fracto and Prime Climb will emphasize multiplication, division and fractions. Supervised by high school students, this stress-free environment will hopefully foster a life-long love of math in all students, regardless of ability.
*Math Buddies is a New Canaan High School student-led tutoring club made up of high-performing math and National Honor Society students

Youth Participation Guidelines
If your child is under 12 years old, an adult caregiver must remain in the Children’s Room for the duration of the program. If your child finishes a program early, or if a child becomes ill, distressed, or behaves in a manner that interferes with other participants’ enjoyment of the program, they may be released into the Children’s Room before the program’s end time. Please ensure that your child knows exactly where to find you at all times.
