Peninsula Math Circle – Spring 2026
Description
Learn the beauty and art of problem-solving while exploring common math competition topics (e.g., geometry, algebra, number theory, combinatorics, logic problems, etc.). Classes will be a mixture of (1) individual/group problem-solving sessions and (2) instructor-guided discussions on problems students are interested in learning how to solve.
Optional homework will give students practice on problems from MATHCOUNTS (and possibly other competitions). Students who complete homework problems earn points that can be exchanged for prizes (e.g., books, gift cards).

Dates: January 10, January 17, January 31, February 7, February 21, February 28,
