Components

Stations

This component of Math Camp includes student teams rotating through a variety of mathematical stations. The stations cover a variety of mathematical content, problem solving, teamwork, perseverance, and critical thinking skills. The content of the stations is widely adaptable to reinforce classroom concepts by creating novel situations to apply learning.

Ravana

Ravana is a component that challenges students to problem solve, work as a team, communicate clearly, think logically, and make reasonable conjectures based off of evidence. Engaging students with a puzzle-like task that utilizes the campers as the center of the component is a high-energy experience that embeds learning in an exciting game

Energizers

Energizers include the songs, dances, and games performed throughout the camp. These are essentially the heart of keeping campers energized while learning mathematics. All of the campers learn the Math Camp song to create a dynamic camp experience. Through kinesthetic movement, campers are able to acquire a deeper understanding of the mathematical concepts embedded in the song. Additionally, each team learns their own song and dance to help break the ice between team members, build community within the group, and have fun! All of the songs and dances come from Thailand - adding an exciting cross-cultural connection!
