Each summer, we co-organize a week-long workshop for mathematicians and teachers from around the country who are interested in leading math enrichment programs. Bob and Ellen Kaplan of the Boston Math Circle demonstrate a collegial approach to teaching that involves children in the exploration of deep mathematical ideas. The Math Circle website has additional information about the Boston Math Circle program.
Several local teachers and other participants join us each summer. In the afternoon, children of all ages attend Math Circles led by adult participants.
Here are some articles about the Math Circle Institute written by past participants:
The 2011 Math Circle Institute will be held on the campus of Notre Dame from July 10th through the 16th.

Local participants may contact Amanda Serenevy for more information.
The Math Circle Institute is supported by a generous grant from the Herbert O. Wolfe Foundation and is sponsored by the Northern Indiana Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Consortium.
