Math Girls

Math Girls is an opportunity to explore curiosity-driven mathematics topics that complement but go beyond the math students may be learning in the high school classroom. Feel free to join a meeting to observe and test the waters, no commitment required.

Who: High school girls in the Omaha area

When: Every Sunday from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM

A typical Math Girls meeting includes a fun warm-up riddle to get our brains going before transitioning into an interesting math topic, completing practice problems either as a group or individually.

Why do students enjoy Math Girls?

"Math girls provides me with a good opportunity to learn different kinds of fun and challenging math that we don’t typically learn in school, and it allows me to apply the concepts I learn in school to different situations. I also enjoy being able to collaborate with other individuals who enjoy math." 
- Shruti

"I love learning interesting new math in an open and nonjudgmental environment. This year some of the topics we’ve covered are modular math, graph theory, and induction proofs." 
– Noemi

"I like how we get to solve problems that students don’t usually see in a high school math class. Instead of memorizing bunches of formulas to solve a problem, we get to solve the problems in our own ways. The excitement that it gives after figuring out a problem is also a key reason why I enjoy it so much."
- Jacklynn


"I love problem solving and working to see problems from a different angle. I also love being surrounded by other women who are passionate about math." - Elizabeth
