It's time for a Family Math Afternoon!
We're planning our first in-person event since March, 2020.
We hope you'll be there!
Family Math Afternoon
Date: Saturday, November 13, 2021
Time: 2pm–4pm
Location: Kingston Library, 2nd floor
Address: 55 Franklin Street, Kingston, NY 12401
The event is free. Masks are required in the library.
The Family Math Afternoon is for middle school students and their families.
Win Door Prizes, Solve Math Problems, Explore Logic Puzzles, and Play Thinking Games!
Bard Math Circle undergraduate math majors will facilitate a selection of engaging and hands-on math activities. Middle school participants will earn tickets for solving problems and puzzles with their families. At the end of the event, we will randomly pull tickets out of a hat, and award the free math prizes. There are a limited number of math prizes, but the mathematical fun will be infinite!
Celebrating BEAM Entry Points program in Kingston
The Bard Math Circle is excited to partner with BEAM and the Kingston City School District to start a BEAM Entry Points program in Kingston, NY.
Entry Points is part of BEAM’s new national initiative to provide access to advanced mathematics to students from low-income and historically marginalized communities nationwide. It is a rigorous and fun math enrichment program developed by BEAM for elementary students who are ready for more challenge in math.
Entry Points students meet with their teacher every week in small groups, working through math questions and diving into cool new ideas. Through these group activities, students will develop new mindsets and mathematical tools, and they'll strengthen their identities as problem solvers and mathematicians. Entry Points is currently a pilot math enrichment program for 5th graders with a selection process that is limited to Bailey and Miller middle schools.
About Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM):
BEAM asks: What does it really take to be successful in science, math, engineering, or programming? The strongest students have spent thousands of hours learning outside of school by the time they enter college. BEAM is an enrichment program that exposes students to advanced math that they don’t often get to see in school and gives them a community of peers who love math like they do.
An update from our Math Contest Department: November is AMC Month with the AMC 10A and 12A contests on the 10th, and the AMC 10B and 12B contests on the 16th. The Bard Math Circle is hosting these contests virtually. The AMC 8 contest takes place in January, and the Purple Comet and Girls' Adventures in Math (GAIM) team contests are set for April. More information can be found on our math contest page. If you are interested in the ARML contest at the end of the school year, please check in with the Upstate New York Math Team.
