The Central Florida Math Circle is an effort of the Department of Mathematics<\/a> at the University of Central Florida<\/a> to offer the middle\/high school students of the Central Florida region an opportunity to have fun with mathematics.<\/p>\n

The Math Circle is not directed towards a particular curriculum; it is not a class, a lecture or a tutorial. It\u00a0is a directed experience in encouragement of student discovery of mathematics. We are happy to be part of a national effort “The National Association of Math Circles<\/a>” to encourage and develop mathematical insight in students.<\/p>\n

Registration<\/h2>\n

Registration for the spring in 2019 is closed.<\/p>\n

Our Sessions<\/h2>\n

All sessions are guided by math\/math education faculties, graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Central Florida. Each session consists of two parts. In the first part of each session (2:00 pm \u2013 3:30 pm), faculty members will give talks on the intriguing topics of mathematics or lead mathematical explorations. In the second part of each session (3:30 pm \u2013 4:30 pm), students will be engaged in problem solving and discussion activities with the curriculum related enrichment topics which will sharpen their understanding of the curriculum related materials.<\/p>\n

All sessions will be held on Saturdays, 2:00pm-4: 30 pm, in the\u00a0Mathematical Sciences Building\u00a0<\/a>on the UCF campus.<\/p>\n

The first part of the session will be held in MSB 360. Students will come to the 3rd floor of the Mathematical Sciences Building in UCF campus to get a name tag at the reception table.<\/span><\/p>\n
