Description
This is a tree you want your child to climb! Campers tune into their sense of number, enriching it with lively exploration into number theory topics such as odds and evens and prime numbers. Guided by the teacher in this endeavor, campers open a window into the underlying structure of mathematics. Campers also develop their skills individually as they climb the MathTree®. Using the MathTree® proprietary skill system, youngsters refresh, consolidate, and extend their repertoire of math skills. The skill curriculum customizes to each child so this camp is useful for enrichment, review, or remediation. Skills include the four basic operations plus fractions, decimals, and percents. More advanced campers develop their skills in integers, absolute value, order of operation, exponents, radicals, and complex fractions. For a more detailed description, click here.

To be sure your child is ready for MathTree - General Math, please consider the following statements:

My child knows the four basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
My child is ready to refresh, consolidate, and extend his or her knowledge of general math.

Both should be true.

Youngsters can participate in this camp up to three summers until they complete the Branches level of the MathTree, at which time they become eligible for Algebra Appetizers for Adolescents.

Children should have a basic knowledge of the four basic math operations, generally rising 5th through 7th graders.
