Recently we held the third and last Nueva Math Circle of the 2009-2010 school year. It was a wonderful evening where kids and parents worked together in a variety of math activities.

Yul Inn, founder of "Fun Math Club" (http://www.funmathclub.com), presented some geometric puzzle activities in the library. We also hosted Stan Isaacs (longtime puzzle collector and connoisseur) who shared part of his extensive puzzle collection with us.

The children were split into two groups (mostly by age). The younger ones attended the main presentation first, while the older ones were playing with puzzles. After the dinner, the groups switched.

Based on this year's success (large attendance, very high caliber speakers, lots of enthusiasm), we are now starting to work on the Nueva Math Circle for the next school year. We are looking for volunteers for next year. If you are interested, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Below is a gallery of pictures that capture that magical moment when parent and child are absorbed with each other and the math problem. As with most pictures on this site, click any picture to enlarge, click again to reduce. You can use your keyboard arrow keys to scroll through all of them.

Thanks to all for supporting the first year of the Nueva Math Circle!
