Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
This course is designed for students who have completed Algebra 1 or an equivalent math class.
- Duration: 2 weeks
- Class time: 3hrs per day, Monday–Friday
- Homework: None
- Skills: Number Theory, Rates, Angles, Functions, Sequences & Series, Graphing, Geometric Constructions
Each day of Math Camp 8-9 consists of a Problem Solving component and a Mathematical Exploration component. Problem Solving keeps students sharp on particular topics while preparing them for the upcoming school year. Each lesson includes a quick review of a key topic from algebra 1, followed by a series of intriguing problems that push understanding well beyond the standard algebra 1 level.
Our Mathematical Explorations are designed to introduce topics that most students don't encounter until much later in their schooling, and to equip students with general mathematical strategies that will be useful throughout their education. Students explore topology, knot theory, and the geometry of surfaces. They also examine different techniques for geometric constructions, including compass and straightedge and origami. Finally, they investigate more exotic facets of geometry including finite geometry and fractal geometry.
