Math Camps
The Summer of 2009 was our first season of offering math camps (after
years of requests for them). There were three sessions − one
of TheiArtiofiMathi&itheiMathiofiArt
and two of MatheMagics.
Next year we plan to offer more sessions, including a variety of new
topics as well as advanced versions of the old topics.
At the end of each
session, we solicited comments, including suggestions for improvement.
All of the feedback we received is printed below:
"[My
son] says it was great, awesome, and he loved it.
No suggestions for improvement."
Mom of a 5th-grade boy
"Just
do what you do. The kids loved it...no suggestions to be made."
Mom of a 7th-grade boy & a 7th-grade girl
"He
seems to have really enjoyed it.
His words about Wednesday were 'it was awsome'. I think he liked building
[Sierpinski] pyramids a lot.
If you do something like this again, please let us know."
Mom of
a 5th-grade boy
"I
can't begin to say enough complimentary things about the camp.
[My son and his friend] learned so much and were so
enthusiastic about coming each day to see what you had planned.
They commented on how it was a different learning style than
they had been exposed to and how it was practical."
Mom of a 5th-grade boy
"[My
daughter] enjoyed the math camp a lot.
If she could, she would really like to go to the [next] one."
Mom of a 5th-grade girl
"Thank
you for a wonderful camp!"
Mom of a 6th-grade boy
"I
think that [my son] truly enjoyed the activities and also learned new
things.
Some of the activities were really fun to me too.
[He]
was so excited about the magic show that we asked him to give us the full
show Friday evening.
[We all] had a delightful time seeing his tricks specially the one about
the story of the king and his sons.
Thank you very much.
I think you did a great job motivating the kids.
[My son] was very excited every morning about going to the math camp."
