> Introducing the Santa Fe Math Circle for grades 5-8
>
> No knowledge of math at any level is necessary!  Circle math is about
> starting
> from nothing (or not much) and exploring strange and beautiful ideas with
> nothing more than marker and board.  Think of it as build-it-yourself
> math.
> Sometimes we will start with a game--or play a game the whole session.  Or
> learn
> how to see the world as a Flatlander from the Second Dimension would.
>
> Math circles are a place for spirited play with the patterns of math and
> games
> of ideas.  Math circles are absolutely nothing like the rigid lockstep of
> school
> math's drill through technique after technique.
>
> What if everything you think you know about math is wrong? All young
> people
> grades 5-8 are welcome!
