Welcome to the 3EF Math Circle!

​

The 3EF Math Circle is an enrichment program where students from elementary through high school come together to explore mathematics in a creative, problem-solving–focused environment. Operated under the Triple Exceptional Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Dover, Delaware, the program is designed to spark curiosity and ignite a passion for mathematics in young learners.

​

Through interactive, community-based sessions, students engage in problem-solving, discussion, and hands-on activities—hallmarks of the math circle tradition. Meetings are held every Saturday, with each session consisting of a 1-hour 40-minute class followed by a 50-minute TA session for reinforcement and practice.

​

The curriculum is organized into four progressive tiers:

* Advanced 2-4 Grades Class: for younger, advanced learners
* AMC 8 Class: focused on the middle school contest
* AMC 10/12 Class: aligned with high school contest standards
* Olympiads Class: for students preparing for national and international competitions

​

The circle is led by Dr. Kevin Lan, a math educator and Ph.D. in Mathematics from UCLA, and is supported by a dedicated team of coaches, administrators, and teaching assistants. Students can participate in the math circle activities online or in-person at the Community Room of Capital One Cafe at the Topanga Westfield Mall.
