At first I thought this would be at the primary level, but I have spent my entire career post-graduate school teaching mathematics at the college level. Simultaneously, I have worked at summer programs for elementary and middle school aged students and have tutored students in mathematics of all age levels. Sharing my passion for mathematics and inspiring that passion in others is something that I love to do! Last summer I directed a pilot program for seventh graders on American University\u2019s campus. The students solved challenging problems and discussed topics that they would rarely see in school, much like a math circle. I look forward to having fun doing math on campus with the DC Math Circle!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-992\" src=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2019\/08\/MK-2013-head-photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"136\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Keynes, Senior <i>Professorial Lecturer of Mathematics, American University<\/i><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a graduate student in Mathematics at the University of Washington, I worked with middle school mathematics teachers in the Seattle area on professional development.\u00a0 This sparked my interest in education and I did a post-doc in Education at the University of California at Berkeley.\u00a0 I was one of the co-PIs on the Math for America, DC project, supporting strong mathematics students to teach in the DC public school district.\u00a0 Most importantly, I am a math nerd and love spreading my enthusiasm about the topic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Memorium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-508 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/Percolator-copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"174\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jacob Ward,\u00a0<i>Professorial Lecturer of Mathematics, American University<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I was a founding member of the NYU <a href=\"https:\/\/research.shanghai.nyu.edu\/math\">Institute of Mathematical Sciences<\/a> in Shanghai, where we worked in programs similar to math circles with young mathematically inclined international students.\u00a0Prior to that, I taught in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsfoundation.org\/\">Simons<\/a>-funded honours programs\u00a0for high school students and worked in the Chicago <a href=\"http:\/\/math.uchicago.edu\/sesame\/\">SESAME<\/a> program as an undergraduate.

These students, and sometimes their teachers, meet with mathematical professionals in an informal setting, after school or on weekends, to work on interesting problems or topics in mathematics. The goal is to build on students&#8217; excitement about mathematics by providing a setting that encourages them to express their passion for\u00a0mathematics. Originally inspired by the Eastern European problem-discussion approach to math education, Math Circles can have a variety of styles. Some are very informal, with the learning proceeding through games, stories, or hands-on activities. Others are more traditional enrichment classes, but without formal examinations. Some have a strong emphasis on preparing for Olympiad competitions; some avoid competition as much as possible. Models can use any combination of these techniques, depending on the audience, the mathematicians, and the environment of the circle. Athletes have sports teams that deepen their involvement with sports; math circles can play a similar role for kids who like to think about math. One thing all math circles have in common is that the students enjoy learning mathematics, and the circle gives them a social context in which to do so.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-218 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU-300x298.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU-768x762.png 768w, https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU-1024x1016.png 1024w, https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/dcmathcircle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/991\/2017\/08\/circlesinaboxAU.png 1138w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The DC Math Circle in particular is on the informal side of things, avoiding traditional classroom formats, examinations, and preparation for competitions in favour of fun and the richness of mathematical discovery!<\/p>\n<p>We meet on the campus of American University, in room 111 of the Don Myers building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mathematical Circles are a form of educational enrichment and outreach that bring mathematicians and mathematical scientists into direct contact with pre-college students.
