Math Moves

Immerse yourself in the world of large and small, shadows and shapes, motion and sound. Listen, watch, and feel what happens when you change the pitch and frequency of sounds, use your body as a unique unit of measure, or make your own stop-motion film. Exploring ratio and proportion helps build a strong mathematical foundation.

This exhibit was produced in partnership by the Museum of Life and Science, Explora, Museum of Science-Boston, and Science Museum of Minnesota, with support from the National Science Foundation.
