It is the purpose of this report to explain how a mathematics club may be used to increase student interest and also act as an aid in improving the teacher student relationship. The purpose of high school mathematics clubs, their history, organization, and activities are described. Suggested topics for programs and sources of mathematical material to be used are also given.Findings and Conclusions: The sponsorship of a high school mathematics club is a worthwhile activity which any mathematics teacher should be willing to undertake. By introducing non-textbook type material of a mathematical nature in an out-of-class setting, tremendous student response and enthusiasm may be achieved. Any high school with a nucleus of vitally interested students and an enthusiastic mathematics teacher should have a mathematics club, even though the school may have a relatively small enrollment. A mathematics club, while not a panacea for all ills pertaining to high school mathematics, certainly represents a step in the right direction.application/pdfCopyright is held by the author who has granted the Oklahoma State University Library the non-exclusive right to share this material in its institutional repository.
