5. What to bring? We will provide pencils and scratch papers. Calculators are generally not needed. So, in general, you do not need to bring any stationery.
6. Please advise your kids properly before coming to the event. The major purpose of WashU Math Circle is to promote kids’ interest into intriguing math topics and enjoy the fun of doing and thinking about mathematics. Some topics are at the college level, so they can be challenging to the kids, but the instructors will make them accessible in an intuitive way and avoid introducing too many mathematical jargons. An important part of effective learning is to think actively. Please encourage your kids to raise questions and never feel intimidated. The thinking process can be far more valuable than learning the materials themselves. Meanwhile, please also remind your kids about some basic discipline, such as mutual respect and maintaining basic classroom order (e.g. do not interrupt others’ conversation).
