About Us
Math Potentials is an education enrichment
organization that teaches children to enjoy and
experience success in doing mathematics and
sciences. Dr. Natasa Sirotic and Dr. Klaus
Hoechsmann founded Math Potentials in 2000, with
the support of the Pacific Institute for the
Mathematical Sciences. It was their extraordinary
passion for math education, and desire to open
students eyes to how meaningful and fulfilling
mathematics can be, that made their first year,
with just 30 students, such a success.

Making Math and Science Meaningful
Math Potentials offers enriched math and science
education in Vancouver and teaches children to
enjoy and experience success in the learning of
these subjects. Some kids have difficulties with
math and science in school when they are taught
to memorize rather than learn for understanding.
We eliminate these difficulties by teaching
conceptually, for understanding. Our teachers,
who have expertise in both subject-matter and
teaching.

Math Circles
The Math Circles Program was initiated by
teachers and mathematicians through the support
of the Pacific Institute of Mathematics Sciences
(PIMS) at UBC. They saw that students were
entering university inadequately prepared for the
big jump between high school and university math,
and set out to change this. Math Circles started
in UBC in the 2000/2001 school year with only two
classes in one campus. It has since grown to six
campuses in Metro Vancouver, serving 700
students.

Science Circles
Science Circles is an enrichment program where
students develop their curiosity about the world
and the scientific way of thought needed to
understand the natural phenomena of the physical
world. The approach is to seamlessly integrate
math and science, and learn to use mathematics as
a tool for doing science. Students will engage
with fun scientific experiments and projects
using data collection sensors, computer
simulations, video cameras, and smartphone
applications.
