Wednesday

Math Club
Wednesdays, 3:45-5:00 PM
K-5th graders

Students drill math facts and master mental computation through games and hands-on activities. They earn stamps to buy prizes at the end of each session in the Stamp Store!

Math Circle
Wednesdays, 3:45-5:00 PM
K-8th graders

Collaborating with Math Circles Network, Math Circle is a community of young mathematicians focused on the enjoyment of mathematical problem solving. Meetings are lively, interactive, and often “funstrating”: challenging, but in a highly rewarding way! Students strategize to solve puzzles, find patterns in number sets, and tackle open-ended problems while learning about mathematicians through history.
