Girls’ Adventure in Math 2024
Upcoming Math Festival
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.
Bring a Math Festival to your school and transform it into a vibrant space of discovery! Families will engage in a joyful evening filled with interactive games, challenging puzzles, intriguing problems, and inspiring math art. Experience the wonder of mathematics in a fun, collaborative setting!

Math Circle Leadership Program
The program consists of 6 years, each of eight monthly training cycles, with specific themes and activities. Students can participate in any number of cycles, with completion of all eight cycles leading to the highest level of that year’s certification.
- First and last Wednesday of the month
- 7:00-8:00PM
- Online on Zoom
American Math Competition
The AMC 8 is a great way to introduce younger students to mathematical problem-solving beyond the standard school curriculum. Students who enjoy the AMC 8 may want to continue with the AMC 10 and AMC 12 in later years.

Summer Math Programs 2024
For Grades K-12
Elementary Math Circle
For Rising 3rd-6th grade
Week of 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 August 5
9AM-4PM
Students entering 7th and 8th grade will work together with high school and college students. There will be options to study topics in mathematics and practice for mathcounts. Each day students will have a study group with a leader on a topic in mathematics, computer science, linguistics or math modeling.Everyone will 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.

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.
