Fall 2025

Math Club (middle school kids, ages 11-14) @ Lafayette Community Center

Hello, fellow parents!  How's your kids' math?  Do you feel that they are pretty good at it and could use a little more challenge?  Or does it seem too hard for them so they are bored and disengaged?  We want to build kids’ confidence and help them excel at this crucial subject!

Sign them up for our Math Club!  With care and individualized approach we will help kids overcome infamous “math anxiety”, boost their confidence to master more challenging topics, and lay a strong foundation for advanced math!

We have two weekend groups:

• Saturdays 9 am - 11 am, September 13th to December 13th, 2025.  Total 13 sessions.

Join our group to build strong towers and bridges, design and race cars, shoot catapults and see what it takes to lift your teachers off the ground!

Math Club (elementary school kids) @ Downtown Lafayette

We initially planned to offer our fall Math Club to middle school kids only, but our younger summer Math Club members begged for more fun, too.  So we are excited to welcome 4th and 5th graders to their own Math Club!  (Advanced 3rd graders are welcome to join too!)

In the Math Club, kids will practice their skills to solve curious problems, discuss as a group and solve together fun logic puzzles, play games and get confident in their abilities!  We will help identify and fill knowledge gaps as needed, but our main goal is to create a space where math is associated with joy, mastering new skill brings pride, and challenge is something to get excited about!

Disclaimer: Participants may accidentally pick up math skills above their grade level — if children want to learn, there is no stopping them!

Dates: Every Wednesday September 3rd to Dec 17th 2025, 4 pm - 5:30 pm, 15 weeks total.
No meetings on Nov 26th 2025.
Tuition: $45/week (1 hr 30 min).
SPECIAL OFFER: Register for the whole season before Aug 20th and get $100 discount!
Group size: 6-15 students.

Registration is open.

Location: Downtown Lafayette (exact address is not determined yet, possibly at the Lafayette Public Library).

This group is NOT associated with Lafayette Parks and Recreation, so please register through our website.
