We’re trying to make it as easy and inexpensive as possible for schools to establish a Math Circle. All of our guidelines, curriculum support, and content are completely free. That said, there are of course some costs associated to any Math Circle. Our Math Circles are typically set up as follows:
- Math Circle meetings take place in a classroom provided by the school.
- The school hires a teacher to supervise Math Circle meetings.
- Qualified college or high school students are hired to help facilitate Math Circle meetings.
A ratio of one instructor for every 4-6 students is desirable. College or high school students hired to help facilitate meetings may be paid an hourly wage or receive college or high school credit for their work. The cost of running a Math Circle will vary depending on the number of meetings, the number of students enrolled, and how instructors are compensated.
