## Activities

After lunch, we will host optional student activities that promote recreational
math and engage students in various ways. Participating students will have the
opportunity to win prizes! Below are some activities we expect to run:

### Estimathon

A team-based contest that combines trivia, game theory, strategy, and
mathematical thinking. Teams of ~3 will face a tight time limit to work on a set
of 13 Fermi-style estimation problems.

### Fraudulent Math

Attention all students! Mathematics is under attack by people who claim that we
need "rigor" and "logic" to justify our answers. Join us for an event of
Fraudulent Math, where students will compete to come up with the most
outlandish, mind bending proofs of false statements and to create impossible
constructions.

### Integration Bee

Compete head to head against the best integrators around! Students will face off
in a tournament style bracket, solving difficult integrals involving some clever
tricks, to determine who will be the champion of all integrators.

### Origami

Want to bring home a cute souvenir from BMT? Come join us for a fun origami
session! We will be offering multiple paper patterns and instructions, and
teaching from the basics of origami. No prior craft experience is needed.
Updated information about activities can be found on the
[Tournament Day Logistics] page.
