PUZZLES
Free, fun, and meaningful math for all
Every JRMF puzzle is hands-on, play-based, and standards-aligned.
We design our activities to have a low floor so that anyone can find a way to engage and a high ceiling so that everyone can find a meaningful challenge.
All of our puzzles come with free festival guides that help you use our activities at home, in the classroom, or during math festivals.
Join us from 6-7:30 PM in the Commons for over 15 math games.
The games are hands on and are great fun for ages K-12.
Students have also requested that the gyroscopes and Rubik Cubes be present for the event.
This is a great family night with lots of fun!
Bring your curiosity, your persistence, and your sense of wonder. We can’t wait to explore with you!

While this special partnership takes place inside the museum, we remain committed to offering free, open-to-all community Math Festivals throughout the year. We hope you’ll join us at this event if you’re able — and we also look forward to seeing you at future free festivals.

Love Elementary is hosting a free Julia Robinson Math Festival on Tuesday, May 19, 5-6:30 pm.

Their activities are known for being “low-floor, high-ceiling,” meaning they are easy for anyone to start but offer depth and challenges for those who want to explore further.
These festivals are non-competitive and focus on problem-solving and collaboration.
For entrance, please come to the Lincoln Ave drop-off side.
