Summer Math Programs 2024

For Grades K-12

Elementary Math Circle

For Rising 3rd-6th grade

Week of July 29 and August 5

9AM-4PM

Are you curious about what mathematicians really do? Here’s a hint:
it’s not math worksheets! Come explore math topics not covered in a typical math class this summer at Orlando Math Circle camp! We will investigate math in surprising places: in traditional art and games from indigenous peoples around the world, in surprising applications of probability, in dance and art and more! As we explore, we will deepen our understanding of problem solving and identify strategies for approaching unstructured, novel problems. We hope to see you there!

Summer Math Leadership Institute

For Rising 7-12th grade

Week of July 29 & August 5

9AM-4PM

Students entering 7th and 8th grade will work together with high school and college students to learn how to become mathematics outreach mentors for elementary students. We are looking for students in middle school and high school who want to share their time, passion and talents to broaden outreach in mathematics. We will help you design and carry out a math outreach project during the year. Each day students will have a study group with a leader on a topic in mathematics or math modeling. No matter what your commitment is, whether it is doing a single event in a library or doing weekly sessions at school or online, we will help you make an impact.

She is passionate about sharing the joy and excitement of mathematics with all ages.

Volunteering opportunities for Upcoming Math Festivals

A Math Festival is a hands-on, interactive, program for the young and old. Math festivals show that there is another side of math — one full of fun, laughter, and beauty. Festivals bring people together to collaboratively work on fun and meaningful problems, puzzles and games. Math is more about the journey than the destination. We show students that they have the power to make their own discoveries and chart their own paths through the learning process. Activities include building geometric figures, making math art, and solving various puzzles, such as magic square, area mazes, Tower of Hanoi and much more.

Read the Journal of Math Circles article about the outreach that OMC is doing !

OMC students together with Associate Professor of Mathematics Zeynep Teymuroglu co-authored an article in the Journal of Math Circles on math circle outreach programs along with Orlando Math Circle (OMC) community organizers and student volunteers.

“Connecting Mathematics and Community: Challenges, Successes, and Different Perspectives” is intended to support individuals and/or organizations in starting or sustaining math circles across the country. It provides examples of successes and challenges in creating academic collaboration between elementary, middle- and high-school participants and mathematicians in the Orlando Math Circle outreach program.

THE MATH REVOLUTION

David Stoner and nearly 600 other math whizzes from all over the world sat huddled in small groups around wicker bistro tables, talking in low voices and obsessively refreshing the browsers on their laptops. The air in the cavernous lobby of the Lotus Hotel Pang Suan Kaew in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was humid, recalls Stoner, whose light South Carolina accent warms his carefully chosen words. The tension in the room made it seem especially heavy, like the atmosphere at a high-stakes poker tournament.
