The Waterloo Math Circles is a free weekly enrichment activity for grade 6 to 12 students organized by the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Waterloo.

Math Circles Materials

Math Circles material, including presentation outlines and homework assignments, will be posted weekly.

Intended Audience

The meetings are accessible to interested students from grades 6 to 12. Students choose a room based on their grade level and/or mathematical ability. There are four rooms to choose from: grade 6, grades 7 & 8, grades 9 & 10, grades 11 & 12.

Dates and Location

Math Circles will continue to meet every Wednesday evening, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., from February 8, 2012 to April 4, 2012. There will be no meeting on March 14, 2012.

No pre-registration is required and there is no fee to participate. Please just show up.

Structure of the Activity

The sessions are devoted to solving problems and to learning techniques that can be useful for mathematics competitions like those the CEMC is involved in. The sessions are coordinated by Mike Eden from the Faculty of Mathematics, with the help of a variety of mathematicians from the University of Waterloo. In order to ensure an understanding of the material being presented, students are strongly encouraged to solve the homework problems. While Math Circles is open to all interested students, we would expect that the students attending come prepared to participate and work on the evening's tasks.
