JRMF Activities

ジュリア・ロビンソン数学フェスティバルからの活動やパズルを探索

Can you fill a grid with skyscrapers so that no two in a row are the same size? Will you be able to predict which pocket a billiard ball will land? Can you fill a lattice with a path from every square?

These are just a few of the activities used in Julia Robinson Mathematics Festivals. In the spirit of the Festivals, see if you can find the pattern and mathematical representation that helps you understand each activity.

Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival activities are designed to open doors to higher mathematics for K-12 students. Festivals are customized for the audience at hand. Local organizers specify their intended audience, and the JRMF organization helps select problems. A Festival is also a community event, bringing together institutions and organizations as their constituents celebrate mathematics.

Festivals take place throughout the US and the world, and are hosted by local schools and groups interested to encourage students to explore the richness and beauty of mathematics. For more information, visit: www.jrmf.org
