Math Circles of Chicago

Math Festivals

A math festival is a community event where students and their families explore math through puzzles and games. Math activities are fun, hands-on, play-based, and standards-aligned. Math Circles helps schools, libraries, and community centers put on these festivals as a way to show communities the fun of math and of our regular Math Circles programming.

Every Math Circles Session is a Festival!

How Do I Attend?

We post festival dates on our events page! Keep an eye out for upcoming festivals or throw your own!
