Summer Programs for Grades 3-12
Location: Church on the Drive of 1914 Edgewater Drive, Orlando, Florida 32804

Elementary Math Circle description (Grade 3-6th) -  Weeks of July 29 & August 5
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!

Some mathematical questions that we might investigate:
1. How do mathematical patterns show up in unusual places, such as in step dancing, juggling, traditional art, or games?
2. If you randomly gave new tickets to every spectator seated in a sold-out stadium, how likely is it that at least one of the spectators would, on their new ticket, be assigned to their original seat?
3. What is special about an ordinary piece of graph paper? How are grids used in mathematics?
4. What is (and isn't) an Euler network?
5. Who invented numbers? What can we learn about numbers by investigating different number systems in various societies throughout history?

This camp will give you different problem solving tools to be a mathematician. Each week, content will be different. Both morning and afternoon sessions will expose students to interesting problem from past math competitions and strategy games that will help them develop logic and critical reasoning. The afternoon session will focus on introduction to math modeling and programming in Python to help students create math models of real world scenarios.
