Our favorite book on how to run a math circle is "Mathematical Circles (Russian Experience)" by Genkin, Fomin, Itenberg.
This excellent book contains the complete curriculum for the first two or three
years of a Math Circle. The book include both theoretical material and sets of
problems. If you plan to run a Math Circle, especially for younger
students, this book is a must to have.
The "Art of Problem Solving" books are a very good
resource for topics to discuss at class.
The book of Zvesdelina Stankova "A Decade of the Berkley
Math Circle" is a treasure of materials to be
presented at a math circle. The book contains both
theoretical explanations and problem sets on a variety of
topics - and it is another must to have for a circle
teacher. Overall, it targets more advanced
students than the "Mathematical Circles" book
Math Circles Topics Site of a mathematician and Math Circles enthusiast Tom Davis.
Multiple topic-by-topic handouts containing both problems and theory. Useful both for a Math Circle teacher, and for a school Math Club instructor
