Emory Math Circle offers a free, informal setting for middle and high school students to explore advanced mathematical concepts and develop problem-solving skills with university faculty and PhD students.
The Emory Math Circle is a free enrichment program for middle and high school students (grades 6-12) who enjoy mathematics and want to explore topics and concepts beyond the standard school curriculum. The program aims to teach students how to think both logically and creatively while sparking and developing a passion for mathematics. It provides a social context for students to enjoy mathematics and offers different levels of classes to cater to varying experience levels.
During a typical lesson, students engage in warm-up activities, followed by instructors presenting problems, puzzles, concepts, or games for group exploration. The lessons are not designed to follow a particular curriculum and do not usually build on each other, allowing flexibility if a student misses a session. The program focuses on creative problem-solving rather than traditional coursework, offering a taste of mathematics research under the mentorship of Emory graduate students in some specialized programs.
Students arrive, check in, and work on a warm-up activity, followed by an instructor describing a problem, puzzle, concept, or game for students to explore in groups.
The ideal student is in grades 6-12, enjoys mathematics, and wants to explore topics and concepts beyond the standard school curriculum.
