Saturday Morning Math!

We're excited to host Saturday Morning Math enrichment programs for 5th-7th graders in the community who love mathematics, problem solving, and having fun!  See the Saturday Morning Math page for schedules, topics, and registration information.

MathCEP has decades of experience in making complex mathematical ideas accessible to students of all ages.  We focus on topics that fall outside of the traditional school curriculum, and introduce students to the beauty and power of mathematics.  Recent sessions include:

  • Spherical Journeys: Learn how geometry changes when you live on a sphere!
  • Origami: Visualize geometric concepts by creating geometric shapes via paper-folding.
  • Cryptology: How does mathematics keep our data secure?
  • Math with Soapy Water: Bubbles and soap film can solve tricky math problems!
  • Over the River and Through the Woods: How does Google Maps find a route from your starting point to your destination?

Students participate in interactive activities, conduct hands-on experiments, and work closely with outstanding instructors and University student mentors. 

Our Saturday Morning Math programs take place on the University of Minnesota Campus.
