Math Mania
Math Mania is a mathematics summer enrichment program for all students in fourth through seventh grades that offers them the opportunity to advance their mathematical skills, deepen their number sense, and change their mindsets about themselves as mathematicians. Students learn to be flexible when working with numbers and operations.
Students are offered enrollment by invitation for this summer camp that emphasizes engagement and creative thinking while building confidence and skills. Participants are often selected based on assessments and teacher recommendations indicating incomplete mathematical aptitude and low confidence.
Mind Benders
Mind Benders is a mathematics summer enrichment program for students in first through fourth grade who find mathematics a significant challenge. This summer camp aims to inspire students to build a positive mindset regarding how they perceive both mathematics and themselves as mathematicians.
This camp offers these struggling students a relaxed and supportive educational opportunity to enjoy mathematics, deepen their number sense, and increase their confidence in mathematics by developing a growth mindset. It is offered by invitation to students who would benefit from “bending” their mathematical minds and further developing their mathematical understanding.
