The Math & Puz­zle Club is a place to explore math­e­mat­i­cal top­ics that are often out­side the stan­dard cur­ricu­lum. We argue about log­ic puz­zles, learn count­ing and prob­a­bil­i­ty through board & card games, explore geom­e­try by build­ing strange shapes, watch movies about math­e­mat­ics, and hear from adults who use math in their work and hob­bies.

We also par­tic­i­pate in local and nation­al math com­pe­ti­tions. This is a chance for stu­dents to real­ly chal­lenge them­selves and solve com­pli­cat­ed puz­zles that use grade-lev­el math­e­mat­i­cal skills. Com­pe­ti­tion Math is excel­lent prepa­ra­tion for high school & col­lege math­e­mat­ics, as well as the SAT & ACT. Com­pe­ti­tion par­tic­i­pa­tion is option­al.

The Club meets on Mon­days after school until 5:30 in Ms Rubio’s class­room (173), start­ing Octo­ber 2, 2023. Math Com­pe­ti­tion prac­tice will be held on Google Meet, on Wednes­days 4–5:30 start­ing Octo­ber 18th.

Math & Puz­zle Club is for Every­one. No advanced math­e­mat­ics expe­ri­ence is nec­es­sary.
