Bring the excitement of hands-on mathematics to your school with Math Midway 2 Go (MM2GO)! The six MM2GO exhibits can visit your school. MoMath has selected a focus exhibit for each grade. See below for K-8 lesson plans that include activities for before, during, and after your MM2GO visit as well as connections to the Common Core State Standards.
Overview of an MM2GO School Visit:
- MM2GO is rented by the day. The fee is $950* per day.
- Schools can hire a MoMath educator to accompany the exhibits. The fee for an educator is $500* per day. It is also possible to hire an educator for an MM2GO training session with your staff.
- Additional costs include set-up and installation fees.
- MM2GO can fit in an empty classroom, a school library, a gym, or an auditorium.
