2012-2013

Students of grades 2 through 12 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the workshops of Math Circle Seminar. This is an enrichment program for students with a strong interest in mathematics. The program is organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at Kansas State University. More details you can find here.

In 2012-2013 three levels of instruction will be offered.


• Level 1 is for the youngest audience, roughly up to grade 4. Along with solving challenging math problems, students will be offered numerous math-related hand-on activities.
  
  
• Level 2 is best for students with the knowledge base of 5th-7th grade of standard school program. The participants will learn solving methods, practice logical skills and get acquainted with deep mathematical concepts and notions.
  
  
• Level 3 is recommended for grades 7 and higher. In the spring 2013 the participants are invited to join the meetings of The K-State Math Club. These meetings of the KSU undergraduate students feature invited math lectures, discussions, social math activities (games and puzzles), homework help sessions, etc. The time of these meetings will be announced separately. Interested high school students should contact Professor Dave Auckly for more information: dav "at" math.ksu.edu.
  
  All three levels will offer special practice sessions for challenging math tests and competitions, homework assignments and complementary recreational activities. At the end of the academic year the best homework solvers will be awarded with certificates of excellence and prizes.

• The Math Circle Seminar will commence in September, 2012 and will continue through to the end of April, 2013. The sessions will take place on Wednesday evenings, in Cardwell Hall, rooms 130 and 131. (Campus Map)
  
  
• The workshop is free, however all participants must register by completing the form below. Students without registration will not be allowed to participate in the workshop. Even if a student plans to attend only one class of the session, his/her legal guardians must complete the registration. The registration is valid through the 2012-2013 academic year. The registered participants will be included in the mailing list. Through the mailing list the participants will be informed about the updates in the schedule, planned events, other available outreach programs and competitions in math and science. The registration with 2011-2012 mailing list will be valid through the end of September, 2012. After that date the information will be sent only to participants who have renewed their registration.
  
  
• IMPORTANT: Students of age 12 and younger must be picked up by parents from the site. For safety reasons no students of the indicated age will be allowed to walk away from the classroom without caregivers.
