2011 marks the origin of what is now Math Circles of Chicago. At that time teachers from several schools in Chicago came together to lead sessions for a citywide math circle.

Over the following years the program expanded to include additional locations, an annual math symposium, dozens of math festivals, local after school programs, and summer camps.

 

In 2015 we were serving 100 students a year; in 2025 we served more than 5,000. The American Institute of Mathematics has confirmed MC2 is now the largest math circle in the country (and likely the world).

Math Circles of Chicago (MC2) is unusual in its approach to helping children develop a passion for mathematics. MC2 provides unique math enrichment programs outside of regular school hours and across Chicago for 3rd - 12th graders of diverse backgrounds to equip children to excel in STEM fields in college and beyond. These programs are low cost or, in many cases, free.

Our mission is to create meaningful and fun experiences that enable any student and educator to develop their mathematical power 💪 and build a sense of belonging to choose their own mathematical pathway.

Our programs include:

  • Math Circles at Hubs or in After School Programs
  • Summer Camps
  • Math Festivals
  • QED, Chicago's Youth Math Symposium
  • College Pathways

 

Whether you participated in Math Circles of Chicago, a math summer camp, or were inspired by a great teacher who shared beautiful mathematics that has enriched or perhaps even changed your life, you belong in MC2's Alumni and Leadership Circle.

We're appealing to those that want all children to have the same opportunity they had--to truly be exposed to novel, fun, community building mathematics. You know that these experiences matter--help MC2 provide that experience to all children in Chicago.
