Thanks to the support of Eastlink, Nova Scotia Math Circles is free.
As well as visiting your school, we can also do virtual classroom visits for schools further
than about a one hour drive from Halifax.
For schools further away we organize multi-day trips where we visit a different school in
the same area each day.Typically, we do one or two such trips each year.
Format and Requirements: (Please read carefully!)
Our puzzles, games and math-magic are designed to be exile— tting into your school
bell times.
We aim to ll a whole school day when we come out. Typically we visit the classes
separately, but we are exible. Sometimes classes are combined. Other times we give a
5-minute puzzle experience at a school assembly with multiple grades.
Each day, all our activities will be different—that makes it more fun for us, but also means
that your school community experiences multiple puzzling ideas.
We typically send 2 or 3 presenters, who work together and support each other. In some
cases new presenters are sent with more experienced ones for training purposes.
Typically we do not separate the presenters, as things tend to go smoother when they
work together.
Ideally each class would have a projector and whiteboard for the presenters to use, but if
not, we can bring these. If presenters can use their USB stick to present from the
classroom computer, that would be great.
We are also happy to visit special groups/homeschool groups. We have also done
presentations at Dalhousie for these groups.
