Bedtime Math is Coming to R.J. Julia's THIS SATURDAY!

Laura Overdeck, the author of Bedtime Math (a book, blog, and app that I have promoted heavily this year at K.E.S.) has come out with Bedtime Math 2 which will be featured this Saturday, March 29th at 3:00 pm at R.J. Julia's in Madison.  After a short reading of some of the math problems in the new book, children will build their own geometric creations with glowsticks and Styrofoam balls.  These will be fun to build, look amazing when in a darkened room, and promote making math a fun part of kids' everyday lives!  The event is FREE, but you need to reserve seats.  You can do so at the following link:

If you are not familiar with Bedtime Math, you need to be!  The mission of the book, blog, and app is nicely summed up with the following quote from the author:

"We want kids to feel about math the way they feel about dessert after dinner."

A new, fun, real life math problem is posted regularly, and they are appropriate for all levels of mathematical ability to solve.  Check it out and come to R.J. Julia's on Saturday!
