The Bard Math Circle returns to the Kingston Library

Our math circle programming has started, and our very first meeting at the Kingston Library this fall will take place on Saturday, September 28th, 1-3pm. We’re all looking forward to seeing you there! Please invite a friend.

We plan our events with middle school and upper elementary school students in mind, but all are welcome. Students have many math activities to choose from: math puzzles and logic games, a hands-on math project to take home and share, and a problem sheet that features challenging math problems at the middle school level. Bard math majors are there to share their passion for mathematics and to work with the students. At the end of the session, everyone shares their solutions to the problems.

News and Announcements

We’ve moved our webpage to our own URL: bardmathcircle.org. Please take a look – the site features blog posts of interest, and also information on each of our programs.

This November we’ll host the AMC 8 exam for the second year, along with an advanced math talk for middle school students. The registration form is already posted on our web page: http://www.bardmathcircle.org/p/amc-8.html. You could sign up, even before we announce that registration is open!
September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month. Make sure to get your library card this Saturday!
We use this email account to make announcements and send reminders about our programs. You’re receiving this email since you’re on our Kingston Library email list. If you don’t want to be on this list, or if there are other Bard Math Circle programs that you’re interested in, just send us a friendly email.
Are you interested in volunteering with the Bard Math Circle? We’re currently looking for high school and college students to volunteer at our library programs. We’re also looking for mathematical adults to help us expand to other libraries around the region. And we’re in need of a web master to help maintain our webpage, email lists, and other online presence. Please write us if you’d like to know more about these opportunities.
Thanks to La Voz magazine for offering this Spanish-language version of the above.
 
Vuelve el Círculo de Matemáticas de Bard a Kingston
 
El primer encuentro del Círculo de Matemáticas de Bard College se llevará a cabo este sábado 28 de septiembre de 1:00 pm a 3:00 pm en la Biblioteca Kingston (55 Franklin St), que será el punto de encuentro durante este otoño. Los siguientes encuentros serán el 26 de octubre, 23 de noviembre y 21 de diciembre.
 
¡Todos tenemos ganas de volver a verlos allí! Así que por favor inviten a un amigo y asistan al Círculo de Matemáticas.


Las actividades fueron pensadas para estudiantes de la escuela media y escuela primaria, sin embargo, ¡todos son bienvenidos! Los estudiantes podrán elegir y ser parte de distintas actividades de matemáticas como: acertijos matemáticos y juegos de lógica, proyectos prácticos de matemáticas para llevar a casa y compartir, y una hoja de problemas que desafían el nivel matemático de la escuela media.

Habrá estudiantes de Bard, que eligieron la matemática como su carrera, compartiendo su pasión por la misma, y ayudando a los niños a llevar a cabo estas actividades. Al final de la sesión, todo el mundo comparte sus soluciones a los problemas.

Japheth Wood

I’m Japheth Wood (he/him), the Bard Math CAMP co-director, and a math professor at Bard College. CAMP (which is an acronym for Creative and Analytical Math Program) is a very special week of the year for our young math community. It's inspiring to see our students return year after year. This is our 11th summer of CAMP! We're back once again on the idyllic Bard College campus in Annandale-on-Hudson, and thankful to the CAMP students, parents, and staff, for making this mathemagical week happen. Notably, we've (finally) had our first CAMP reunion this past June, an event that I know will grow to be an integral part of what we do.

Frances Stern

My name is Frances Stern (she/her/hers)! I’ve been teaching math at CAMP since the first year, making sure our math theme has a connection to art and computer. It’s fun to show students math that they don’t see in school. I've retired from daily teaching but continue to teach for the New York Math Circle & students who are seeking more math in their lives. My hobbies include learning to draw, paint, & juggle, reading, walking & folk dancing. I’ve written 2 books for teachers and parents called “Adding Math, Subtracting Tension” (for different age-ranges of children). They pay as much attention to how to keep out of a fight (what many parents told me is a problem) as they do to math.
