MoMath We finished off our no-camp week with a trip up to New Jersey and New York. Leaving after Sarah got home from work, we got in a bit late but had time to make the trip in to NYC for a visit to the Museum of Math, New York’s latest. The tricycle with the square wheels was cool, and Harry recommends the doing math in your head lecture (click on Math Encounters — Secrets of Mental Math). But overall, we we were not impressed. It seemed a bit small — they have a whole other floor, I think which they may grow into — and there was less, or less obvious, explanation of why what was cool was cool and what was the math behind it making it cool. 
To be fair, there may have been more meat to the museum than we were able to absorb with a rising 5th grader (how scary is that), but then, it’s intended audience is right about Robert’s age.
