SummerMath
Whether you love math or hate it, SummerMath
can help you strengthen your mathematical thinking and
communications skills, develop problem solving strategies
and computer skills, and build your confidence. Introduced
in 1982 by Mount Holyoke College, one of the nation's
finest liberal arts institutions, SummerMath is a nationally
acclaimed four-week program for young women entering
ninth through twelfth grades. The program has been featured
on "ABC World News tonight with Peter Jennings",
on the "Today Show", and in NewsWeek. We believe
young women stay with mathematics longer -- and keep
more options open -- when feeling confident and when
seeing how math applies to the real world. Because math
is in just about everything -- from digital sampling
to design to DNA.
Three daily classes:
- Fundamental Mathematical Concepts
- SuperLogo
- Workshops
