A plug for "Math from Three to Seven: The Story of a Mathematical Circle for Preschoolers" seems warranted here. It has great ideas for fun things to do with kids as well.

This book is great indeed. Coincidentally, I just published a post where talking about how this book encouraged me to start a little math circle myself: https://boogiemath.org/meta/meta-2

Awesome. Good on you! The kids are lucky that you organized one.

Edit: Just looked through your website. Love the math and the satire. Keep it up!

I just read through it too! Love the comedy. And I don’t think the kids were lucky not to have you as a teacher! They would have been lucky to have you! I’m sorry you got side tracked by the pandemic there.

Awesome. Are you doing that in person? I love getting to work with the little ones in person.

Yes, we were meeting in person every Wednesday. There were two groups - about three years old in the first group and about five, six years old in the second group (at the time when we started).

This book looks super cool! Did you write it? We haven't forayed into preschool games yet so I'll def check this out. Thanks!

Ah! Not me. I should have made that clear. A Mathematician named Alexander Zvonkin wrote it. The book's super well written and is full of useful ideas though!

I will def check it out. Thanks again!
