MathVenture Enrichment Camp

Join Matt the Magician on a journey through Math Island — solving puzzles, cracking challenges, and becoming a true mathematician.

About This Camp

Math can be magical.

In this educational enrichment camp, students will explore the magical world of math with Matt the Magician as he works towards becoming a Mathematician. Students will help him through a variety of adventures including money, time, measurement, geometry, and fractions. They will use critical thinking skills that require investigation, inquiry, and collaboration to solve math puzzles and games.

At the end of the course, students will have helped Matt the Magician turn into a mathematician — and the students themselves will become mathematicians.

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving 2 Action-Packed Sessions

What Students Experience

Two sessions. One mathematical adventure.

  1. 1

    Session 1: “Journey through Math Island”

    Students will begin the journey to Math Island with their new friend, Mr. Matt Magician. Starting from past and critical thinking skills, students will work in small groups to help Mr. Matt Magician solve the obstacles he runs into. Students will have different types of math and everyday objects, so they will have to use their creativity to solve each obstacle. Throughout the journey, students will find the time and date of each obstacle to practice keeping track of a schedule.

  2. 2

    Session 2: “The Math Competition”

    Students will help Mr. Matt Magician get ready, enter, and win the Math Competition. Once he enters, students will compete against each other in 15 rounds solving interactive and hands-on math problems. Students will need to use creativity and critical thinking skills to solve the problems. Throughout the competition, students will also keep close track of scores and the win-loss balance, becoming familiar with using a calendar and clock and writing them in their logs.
