ALL MATHAPALOOZA! TICKET HOLDERS WILL RECEIVE A PROMO CODE FOR A FREE TICKET TO GAP JUNCTION!

gap junction is an evening length dance work originated from research into neurological pathways presented by Rogue Wave Dance and created by Catherine Messina, a board member of Mathematics in Motion and one of the original founders of Mathapalooza! This event will take place at the Paideia School the night before Mathapalooza! at 7:00pm on March 17th.

Mathapalooza! is back at this year's Atlanta Science Festival! Come join us on Saturday, March 18th, for an afternoon of mathematical fun at the Paideia School.  There will be interactive puzzles and games, artwork, music, stage acts, and mathematics in motion. Stay tuned for the event schedule coming soon!

TICKETS: $12 for adults, $4 for children

A hands-on workshop for the Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

The first ever Mathapalooza After Dark will take place on March 16 from 7-9 PM at the Highland Ballroom. Sign up here.

Just what do mathematicians do after dark, when they have said QED to their workday? Do they sing and dance off to infinity? Do they take their singularities and push their boundaries? Yes - Innumerable such transformations happen! And now, for the first time ever, the public has the chance to see mathematicians along with some of Atlanta's most creative artists performing some real numbers on the stage of the Highland Ballroom in this variety show where you will see mathematical comedy, poetry, music, fashion and more!

This year’s Mathapalooza! will take place at Atlanta's MLK Recreation Center from 1-5 PM on March 15th! Sign up here.

Mathapalooza! is an afternoon of fun for all ages: bringing mathematics and art together. During the entire afternoon, we have activity tables with interactive puzzles and games and entertaining ways to learn about mathematics in your life. There is a special area for younger kids. The event kicks off with a phenomenal magic show and is followed by performances of mathematical music, dance, and theater. We even have a curated art gallery with works from notable artists from around the world.

Last year, over 1000 people joined us for Mathapalooza! on March 9 at Decatur's Ebster Recreation Center in Decatur.

Mathematics in Motion kicked off the fall 2019 season with this family fun festival in East Atlanta. We went back to our roots and combined math and movement. It was amazing to see how creative everyone was.

Mathematics in Motion was thrilled to be asked to set up at the Atlanta Streets Alive festival. This festival is for the cycling residents of Atlanta, with bikes, bikes, more bikes, and the occasional unicycle! So, we posed the question: is it possible to ride a bike with wheels that aren't round? Even square? We talked about this and about some "funky wheels" that roll just as nicely as circles. It was a day of learning and fun for all.

Explore the wonder of mathematics, art, performance, and magic! Spend the afternoon exploring puzzles and games, and engaging with mathematics through music, magic tricks, movement, and visual art. You will be amazed at the beauty of mathematics and how it shows up everywhere in our lives.

This performance worked on explaining the story of Leonhard Euler to the public. Euler studied whether or not it was possible to walk across the seven bridges of the city of Königsberg exactly once.  You can't, actually, but Euler went on to use the puzzle to launch the branch of math devoted to networks, known today as graph theory.  

Mathematics in Motion was honored to present at the Atlanta Science Festival in 2017 and 2018. Pictured is dancer Daley Kappenman.
