Through group conversations, students explore, play with, produce examples and counterexamples,
make conjectures and discover mathematical insights.
Mathematics is explored with low-threshold/high-ceiling mathematical problems
outside of the typical math curriculum and discovered in an informal environment.
"Math Circles are places where students and teachers get to engage with mathematically deep content presented in unique ways that promote hands-on discovery. Low-threshold, high-ceiling problems can be approached by students with minimal background but still lead to concepts rooted in advanced mathematics."

“Discussing different approaches to solving problems has broaden my problem solving strategies”
“The games at the end of the session are a driving force for persevering through the hard problems of the Math Circle.”
“A nice break from traditional problems!”
“The logic games are awesome!”
“The Math Festival was a blast! Can we do it more often?”
“Our team had so much fun at the Math Wrangle! Never before had I paid such close attention to someone presenting a solution. If we didn’t, our team wouldn't have good rebuttals.”
“Tackling hard problems together has built my confidence”
