I am a sophomore at Woodlands Academy in Lake Forest. I am so excited to be working with Will on this initiative and to be bringing our love of math to younger students through the Glencoe Math Circle. I personally have always loved math and participated in the New Trier Township Mathematics program in 7th and 8th grade. Next year I will be taking Pre-Calculus, and plan to compete with the Woodlands MathCats and Robotics clubs. As the oldest of 34 (and counting) cousins, I’ve had lots of experience with younger kids, from frequently babysitting to tutoring all subjects. My hope is for the Glencoe Math Circle to be a space for our fellow math enthusiasts to share ideas, learn from one another and see the fun in math.
