Introducing the Santa Fe Math Circle

Wed June 11, 6p-8

What is a math circle and why should you join us?

No knowledge of math at any level necessary! Circle math is about starting from nothing (or not much) and exploring strange and beautiful ideas with noting more than marker and board. Think of it as build-it-yourself math. Sometimes we will start with a game–or play a game the whole session. Or learn how to see the world a flatlander from the second dimension would.

Math circles are a place for spirited play with the patterns of math and games of ideas. Math circles are absolutely nothing like the rigid lockstep of a school curriculum’s drill through technique after technique. Everyone, grades 5-12 are welcome.
