Providing opportunities for Middle School girls to develop their mathematical thinking skills in a supportive, collaborative and fun environment.
If you are a girl who . . . ..
• loves to solve puzzles and problems
• is curious about mathematics and using what you’ve learned
• would like to meet others who share your enthusiasm for mathematics
then the Tulsa Girls’ Math Circle would be perfect for you!
A math circle is a group meeting of professional mathematicians and students who work together to solve challenging and interesting problems. The goal is to have fun working on problems and kindle a passion for mathematics. Focus is placed on creative problem-solving and hands-on exploration instead of the traditional skill building focus of classroom instruction.
The Tulsa Girls’ Math Circle provides opportunities for Middle School girls to develop their mathematical thinking skills in a supportive, collaborative and fun environment. We promote positive attitudes towards math and learning through engaging, hands-on puzzles and games that involve both creativity and critical thinking.
The Tulsa Girls’ Math Circle is FREE and open to girls from the Tulsa-area who are in 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Meetings are held on the campus of The University of Tulsa on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Faculty from The University of Tulsa, community mathematicians, and TU mathematics students will participate as mentors and presenters.
