[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is accepting applications for the April weekend family experience and creative activity programs for elementary school students at the 'Mathematics Culture Center.'

First, creative activity sessions will be held on the 4th and 11th.

The target participants are 5th and 6th graders based on the year 2021, and a total of 10 students will be recruited.

The topics are Pascal's Triangle for the first session and Probability Distribution Device for the second session. The Pascal's Triangle class includes understanding Pascal's Triangle, stacking wooden ball blocks, finding right triangle rules, and creating the Fibonacci sequence.

In the second session on the Probability Distribution Device, participants will learn about Hong Jeong-ha, a Joseon Dynasty mathematician skilled in geometry, play a natural number guessing game, understand combinations and probability, and create a probability distribution device.

Classes run from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The material fee for both sessions is 10,000 KRW.

Weekend family experiences are also prepared. Up to 3 families (maximum 12 people), each including an elementary school student and up to 4 members, will be recruited.

The theme is the Tower of Hanoi, introduced as a game to develop mathematical thinking on the TV show 'Different Class.'

The Tower of Hanoi is a puzzle involving moving disks on three pegs according to specific rules. Participants will learn the legend and principles of the Tower of Hanoi and, while following the rules, try all possible moves to enhance creativity and thinking skills.

Classes will be held on the 17th and 24th from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM (90 minutes). The material fee is 5,000 KRW per family.

Applications open on the 16th at 10:00 AM via the Seoul Public Service Reservation website and will close on a first-come, first-served basis.

Classes may be canceled depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Meanwhile, the 'Nowon Mathematics Culture Center,' which opened in October 2019 as the first mathematics experience learning center among local governments nationwide, operates various programs to break the stereotype that mathematics is difficult and boring.

It offers invited lectures, coding programs, 3D programs, and other mathematics software education programs, as well as creative experiences and weekend family experiences to promote the popularization of mathematics.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “By experiencing the principles of mathematics embedded in our daily lives at the Mathematics Culture Center, people will be able to enjoy mathematics,” adding, “We will continue to lead the popularization of mathematics through various online and offline programs.”
