Hi Folks,

Please mark your calendars and RSVP to our next event!

Episode 4 of Season 8 of the SF Math Teachers Circle takes place on 

Saturday, April 5th 2025

at Proof School, 973 Mission St., 

from 10:30AM--1PM. 

Our presenter will be David Crombecque, who will be visiting from AIM

The Arithmetic of Ladybugs 

We have all seen lady bugs with different numbers of dots on their beautiful red elytras. Did you know that lady bugs know how to do arithmetic? And the arithmetic they use influences their behavior? In particular, they prefer to land on flower leaves that are "sum free". Come and join us to learn more about the arithmetic of ladybugs! 

Disclaimer: Everything said about ladybugs is made up but the math is real! Come and discover it! The only prerequisite is being comfortable with addition. 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

We will provide coffee, tea, pastries, and lunch.

Proof School is located on Mission Street between 5th and 6th.  There's cheap metered street parking across the street (only good for 2 hours, though; tied to your license plate) and more expensive parking at the Fifth and Mission garage at...guess!  And BART and buses are nearby.

All teachers at all levels are welcome.  Please share this invitation with others.  Our events are free (including lunch).

Please RSVP with this form by Wednesday, April 2nd (so that we can plan our lunch order).

We hope to see you soon!
