PUZZLES
Free, fun, and meaningful math for all
Every JRMF puzzle is hands-on, play-based, and standards-aligned.
We design our activities to have a low floor so that anyone can find a way to engage and a high ceiling so that everyone can find a meaningful challenge.
All of our puzzles come with free festival guides that help you use our activities at home, in the classroom, or during math festivals.
Join us for a day of play and problem-solving. At the 2nd Annual JRMF Opulent Math Festival at Santa Monica Flyers & Sling, children and families have the opportunity to explore a variety of fun, hands-on math puzzles and games.
Math Festival activities are designed for children (and adults) of all ages and backgrounds, so everyone is welcome. The Math Festival is free, open to all, and an event where you can drop in and drop out whenever you’d like.
Whether you stay for one puzzle or join us for the entire festival, we’re looking forward to seeing you for a day of joyful math!
Bring your own snacks and water bottles.
We’re still looking for volunteers! Sign up here to help us share joyful math.
Join us for the MC2 Citywide Julia Robinson Math Festival!
The festival consists of several math circle activities running parallel to each other. It’s a bit like an open house, so you can arrive at any time that works for you! However, we ask that you not enter the school before 1:20PM.
Students currently in grades 3-8 are eligible to attend. Parents/Caregivers are welcome to join their children in participating (and 3rd and 4th graders must be chaperoned by an adult).
If you have questions, please email info@mathcirclesofchicago.org or text 872-216-1718.
