An online Maths Circle is a one hour long live workshop for children aged 7-14 and their family, taking place on Zoom. Prior to the virtual event, a selection of Maths problems are sent out to participants.
Participants are encouraged to try the problems in advance. During the virtual event participants are able to join different e-rooms, where Maths Circle hosts explain how to solve some of the problems.
Participants can ask questions via the chat, listen in as the host talks about ways to think about the problem, and then move to a different e-room if they want to try a different problem.
The event is free but booking is required. Further information and a link to the booking page can be found via the link below.
The event is hosted by the University of Edinburgh School of Mathematics
