Math Circles for Fall 2023.
Math Circles
Math Circles is an outreach program of the Department of Mathematics at Brigham Young University. Its goal is to give students in grades K-12 a chance to learn, explore, and have fun learning about mathematics and its uses. We offer free classes taught by either BYU faculty and/or students. In all, there are four classes based on age (see below). Typically, these are held almost every week from 9:00-9:50 AM in the Talmage Building (TMCB) on BYU’s campus.
Age Groups and Classes:
Grades K-3, Room TMCB 154: Here the goal is to have as much fun as possible learning new types of math. Parents are asked to attend with their children for this age group.
Grades 4-6, Room TMCB 173: In this class students have fun learning and exploring new math. Sixth-graders can choose either the 4-6 class or the 6-8 class.
Grades 6-8, Room TMCB 197: This class is a more advanced version of the 4-6 class in which students learn and practice math with the main goal of encouraging students to enjoy math. Sixth-graders may choose either the 4-6 class or the 6-8 class.
Grades 9-12, Room TMCB 203: The high school group focuses on preparation for competition exams such as AMC 10, AMC 12, and the ARML competition. Enjoying and having fun with math is still the primary aim.
