I wanted to share some things I learned from my trip to the US this summer, and what my own experience of running maths circles has been like so far.

This episode includes:

• Discussion of the Summer Math Circle Institute;
• Tips and techniques learned from the Institute;
• My own experiences of running maths circles;
• Potatoes with added sugar;
• What you should and shouldn't assume about students;
• Why Math Circles (sometimes) work;
• Why Bloom's Taxonomy is upside-down; and
• The role of the teacher in having a vision for the students in his/her care.

Enjoy the episode.
