Bloomington Math Circle

The Bloomington Math Circle meets Thursday 4:30-5:30 at my house. It is intended for children in grades 3-6 with a flair for mathematics who are looking for something beyond what they can get at school. The topics covered mainly lie outside the traditional curriculum. My emphasis will be on learning through problem-solving. General information on math circles is available here and in the online book Circle in a Box.

The Bloomington Math Circle is free. At this point we accept all students, with the understanding that only those with a genuinely strong interest in the subject are likely to enjoy or benefit from it.

In Fall 2008, we worked on the following problems:
