๐ Congratulations to Our 2026 Florida Math Kangaroo State Winners! ๐
Today, we celebrate the hard work, perseverance, and mathematical excellence of our amazing students who participated in the 2026 Math Kangaroo Competition!
Math Kangaroo is an international mathematics competition that challenges students to think critically, solve creative problems, and develop a love for mathematics. We are incredibly proud of every student who took on this challenge and represented our community with curiosity, determination, and enthusiasm.
๐ A special congratulations to our award recipients and top performers! Your dedication to learning and problem-solving is truly inspiring.
We would also like to thank our families, volunteers, educators, and our fearless OMC director Rita Azbel and team for supporting our students throughout their mathematical journey.
Remember: Mathematics is not about being the fastestโitโs about exploring ideas, thinking deeply, and never giving up when faced with a challenge.
๐ Keep asking questions.
๐ Keep solving problems.
๐ Keep reaching for new heights.
Congratulations to all of our 2026 Math Kangaroo participants and winners! We canโt wait to see what you accomplish next.

๐ท๐ถ Today- pattern blocks and tiling ๐ถ๐ท
At todayโs Future United STEAM Day hosted by at Seminole State College, Orlando Math Circle brought something most 7th graders havenโt touched since elementary school: pattern blocks and tessellations. And wow โ they explored, created and made connections this has with the modern world. ๐คฉ
These students built stunning geometric designs using mirrors, pattern blocks, and pure creative curiosity. Did you know tiling shows up in:
๐ฌ Crystallography โ the atomic structure of periodic crystals is literally a tiling pattern
๐ฆ Virology โ many virus capsids (like the flu!) self-assemble in near-perfect geometric tilings
๐๏ธ Architecture & engineering โ from honeycomb structures to floor mosaics
๐ก Signal processing โ wavelet transforms use tiling to compress images
๐งฌ DNA nanotechnology โ researchers tile DNA strands to build nanoscale structures
๐ Islamic geometric art โ some of the worldโs oldest known quasi-periodic tilings
๐ญ Penrose tilings โ non-repeating patterns that inspired Nobel Prizeโwinning discoveries in quasicrystals
Thank you to OMC volunteers who gave their time and enthusiasm to make math come alive for these students. Watching kids go from โwait, whatโs a tessellation?โ to building an infinite pattern using Morris and blocks in 20 minutes? Thatโs the magic. โจ
๐ Whatโs next?
Weโre excited to keep working with middle and high school students this summer โ stay tuned! And mark your calendars: our online facilitator training for all ages starting middle school is coming June 4th ๐๏ธ โ details dropping soon.

Our OMC high school team of student leaders is in Savannah at the AASHTO STEM Outreach Solutions Bridge Challenge. Our team was one of 12 teams that qualified to come to nationals. We are proud of our students and grateful to ASSHTO for organizing and Florida Department of Transportation for making this possible for our team.

๐ It's happening!
Today, our Orlando Math Circle students are walking the halls of the University of Florida as part of our annual Future Leaders Advancing in Math and Medicine Experience โ in partnership with the UF Math Department and the Laboratory for Systems Medicine.
This year marks the fifth year of our partnership that focuses on developing the interest and the talent of our students. Thank you to all the people at UF for making this experience possible year after year.

Our OMC alumni continue to stay connected even after graduating high school โ through events, alumni socials, and mentorship. ๐
Raymond, now a first-year student at Duke University pursuing a degree in physics, is mentored by Dr. Jami Valentine Miller, our board member and the first African American to earn a physics PhD from Johns Hopkins University.
He also gives back to the community by volunteering at OMC events and working with students at the Boys & Girls Club โ the same place he attended as a student.
A full-circle journey weโre incredibly proud of. โจ
