The Science Museum of Virginia’s touring exhibition “MathAlive!” closes this Sunday, Jan. 12, providing visitors this weekend the chance to explore the interactive display showcasing the connections between mathematics and music, sports, movies and games.

The exhibit includes more than 30 interactive stations demonstrating mathematical concepts such as fractions, percentages, dimensions and volume. Activities involve snowboards, robots, skateboards and extreme weather simulations, highlighting practical applications of math in daily life and various careers, including engineering, technology and design.

“MathAlive!” illustrates how math shapes music, sports, movies and games through contributions from individuals such as skateboarders and computer scientists, who explain how they use mathematics to enhance their work.

Visitors can engage in activities such as a 3D snowboard race requiring strategic board angles, step sequencing for robots, exploring probability and statistics in cybersecurity, analyzing fractions in music, understanding meteorological data for extreme weather, and examining geometric patterns in photography and nature.

Targeted toward children ages 7 to 14, “MathAlive!” was produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in collaboration with NASA, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and other organizations.

Special programs and demonstrations will accompany the exhibit during its final days, offering additional insights into how mathematics influences innovation and problem-solving.

The exhibit is included with general museum admission. Tickets can be purchased on the museum’s website or at the Guest Services desk.
