Abstract

The Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival (JRMF) Community Math Circle is free, volunteer-run, and online. We collaborate with JRMF and use their activities in our events. Started during the pandemic, the Community Math Circle continues to thrive. We have about 40 participants attending every month, typically kids aged 6 to 13, teachers, facilitators, and other adults. This article describes how our event is organized, planned, and executed, and how we train facilitators. We will also offer reflections on our successes and challenges.
