Math and Technology Night
|
Mark you calendars and save the date for the CTES Math and Technology Night on Wednesday, January 19 at 6:30 PM. The PTA is hosting this fun family night to explore and learn more about math and technology by playing games, watching cool technology demonstrations, and digging deep into the meaning of the relationship between a circle's diameter and its circumference, better known as Pi - and by that we mean PIE!
Bring the whole family to enjoy pie desserts and further your understanding of math and technology practices.
We need volunteers for this event, so if you're interested in the planning, setting up, staffing a table, or anything else, please contact Nancy Chazen.
