  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Join our experts at Math Potentials for a Math Circles trial class that will show you a side of math you've never seen before! The class is designed to give you an idea of what our Math Circles classes are like. This trial class is most suitable for students entering Grades 5-8 in September.

The Math Circles enrichment program empowers students by:

  1. Focusing on conceptual understanding: By learning conceptually instead through memorization, students develop important creative and logical thinking skills.
  2. Building confidence across all ages and skill levels: Students develop confidence in their mathematical abilities: "If I can do difficult math, I can do anything."
  3. Extending knowledge compared to school: Our programs don't duplicate the BC school curriculum; instead, they broaden and deepen it by the coherent treatment of topics and focuses on mastery learning.
  4. Preparing for university and beyond: Get equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to bridge the gap between high school and university math and science.


We encourage students to attend if they are interested in math and want to expand their knowledge and skills. Tickets are needed for students and parents. Parents can sit in on the class. Please bring a pencil/eraser (no calculators).


We hope to see you there!

Organized by

Math Potentials is an independant organization that has been operating in the Lower Mainland since 2000. It was founded by Dr. Klaus Hoechsmann and Dr. Natasa Sirotic, with a vision to offer enrichment math classes taught by math specialists to help further students' knowledge and appreciation of the subject and ultimately prepare them better for university.

The main program offered by Math Potentials is called Math Circles. Math Circles is an enrichment program that helps students develop mathematical reasoning skills through problem solving, geometry, proofs, and more. The tools students receive from Math Circles classes serve them throught life and give them a significant advantage in university math courses. It is designed for students in grades 5 to 12, and spans from beginner to Calculus in 7 levels.
