Get ready to jump into the world of problem-solving fun with our Math Kangaroo Competition Prep Workshops, led by Anna Margolis, a seasoned math educator and founder of Engaging Math Circles (EMC). These interactive, hands-on workshops are designed to guide students through Math Kangaroo–style problems with enthusiasm and creativity.

In each one-hour session, your child will explore a variety of problem-solving strategies — from pattern recognition and logical reasoning to visualization and strategic thinking. Students will try problems independently, collaborate to discuss multiple solution approaches, and learn to think flexibly and creatively. These workshops prove that math competitions are not just for prodigies — they are opportunities to build resilience, curiosity, and confidence.

At EMC, learning happens through discussion, collaboration, and shared discovery. Whether in larger live webinar formats or smaller groups with more direct conversations, kids and families get to dive into math challenges with support and encouragement. Younger children often benefit from parent participation, but kids comfortable on their own are welcome to join independently.​

Students will enjoy an exciting and interactive experience that combines the energy of a live science show with the creativity of hands-on STEM learning. Each class begins with a live unboxing, sparking curiosity as students reveal the materials for that day’s experiments or builds. Throughout the session, learners complete three guided projects, each paired with clear scientific explanations that connect what they’re building to real-world science concepts like chemistry, physics, or engineering design.

To keep energy high and minds sharp, classes feature interactive brain breaks — fun moments filled with puzzles, riddles, and quick movement activities that challenge students to think critically while staying active. Students are encouraged to show off their creations on camera or share photos and discoveries in the chat, creating a sense of community and collaboration among young inventors.

Every session concludes with a STEM trivia challenge and an open Q&A, giving learners a chance to review what they’ve discovered and dive deeper into their favorite topics. After class, students receive a Certificate of Completion celebrating their achievements and scientific curiosity.

All classes are recorded and accessible on demand, allowing families to revisit lessons, pause and rewind for better understanding, or follow along later at their own pace. This flexible and engaging format ensures that every student — whether joining live or watching the replay — feels inspired, confident, and excited to keep exploring the world through science.
