Dear Friends,
Many of you know my passion for teaching and helping students to build confidence in and excitement about math. This year, I've begun teaching math to middle school students in a homeless shelter every week, and have seen the power that this weekly ritual has on their willingness to take risks and engage in productive mathematical thinking. It has been an honor to be their teacher, and it is due to Math Circles of Chicago's dedication to giving rich learning opportunities to students of all backgrounds that I've been able to do this work.
Math Circles of Chicago is an organization I chose to support because I believe they unlock the power of math for children who need it the most. Whether it’s a child who loves math and wants a further challenge, or one who’s finding their interest in the subject diminishing, MC2 exposes them to effective math instruction and an interesting approach to mathematics.
Math Circles of Chicago programs are free of charge and located at accessible sites across the city. Please join on this important fundraising day so they can reach event more children across Chicago with this incomparable math experience.
Thank you for your support!
