I found out about The Math Circle through friends who take their children to the UC Berkeley Math Circle. For now, I decided to wait before participating in a weekly math circle group. From parent discussions, it seems that it is more interesting for the parents during the weekly homework given, then it is for the children. I do believe that true education begins at home, in igniting the parents love of learning, that is the best homework!
The Math Circle curriculum is available online also, I am thinking of starting my own math circle.
The Math Circle
The Math Circle is a program of courses founded in 1994, designed for students who enjoy math and want the added challenge of exciting topics that are normally outside of the school curriculum.
