Exposing High School Students to Mathematical Problem Solving Through Math Circle

Abstract

The Central Oklahoma Math Circle is a partnership between Del City High School and the University of Central Oklahoma. The purpose of this Math Circle is to expose high school students to mathematics not normally found in the classroom in an informal setting while encouraging problem-solving and exploration. This poster will present the format of a typical meeting, as well as activities that can be done. In particular, a blood spatter activity will be examined.
