The Junior Math Club

The target audience for the Junior Math Club is middle and high school students. We also welcome younger students! The purpose of the Junior Math Club is to get together to discuss and explore topics that are interesting from a mathematical point of view. This exploration may focus on understanding the details of an interesting problem or application. It may also focus more on working through and solving problems.

Everyone in the target group (middle and high school students and younger) is welcome. You do not need to formally join and there is no charge to participate.

As noted above you are not required to register. However, to help with planning and to get on our mailing list, please complete this registration form.

Please come and see if you enjoy a meeting. We hope that you will enjoy yourself and will decide that you want to attend on a regular basis. Please bring a friend, too!

We meet in Maxim Doucet Hall rooms 201 (roughly grades 7-12) and 206 (roughly grades 2-6) fortnightly (every second week) on Sunday afternoons from 3:00 through 4:30.

The meeting dates for Spring 2026 are 1 February 2026, 22 February 2026, 1 March 2026, 15 March 2026, 29 March 2026, 12 April 2026, and 26 April 2026

If you have any questions about the Junior Math Club, please email Justin Lynd, Leonel Robert, George Turcu, or Phillip Whitman.

Since the AMC math competitions (AMC 8 and AMC 10) have already concluded for this year, we will save our targeted preparation for those competitions for next semester. In case you are not familiar with them; the AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple-choice examination in middle school mathematics for students in middle school. (Click here for details about the AMC 8,) and the AMC 10 is a 25-question, 75-minute, multiple-choice examination in high school mathematics for students in 10th grade and below. (Click here for details about the AMC 10.) We host these competitions on the UL Lafayette campus.
