The University of Florida Math Circle is a free program supported by the UF Department of Mathematics for the community.  We offers fun math activities for kids.  The faculty and student-run group meets weekly and focuses on the enjoyment and exploration of mathematical ideas.  If you’re curious, take a look at some sample sessions to get a feel for what math circles are like.

We meet weekly during the academic year, on Sundays in the fall semester due to conflicts with football games and tentatively back on Saturday mornings in the spring semester.
