2018 Summer
Middle School Intensive Math and Quiz/Science Bowl Camps
- Description: These Camps are designed for middle school students who would like to have some intensive math practice during summer and would like to have fun with Quiz Bowl and Science Bowl activities. Our intensive math practices include topics in Number Sense, Math Kangaroo problems, Mathcounts, AMC8, and various other contest problems. The purpose of the practices is not for participating any math contest. Math contest problems are mostly high quality and are fun to work on! Kid will learn logic thinking and smart problem solving from these practices. Compared with the mostly arithmetic aspects of school math, these fun problems might make students like math a lot more! Quiz bowl and science bowl activities have the effect of opening up kids' curiosity about many topics. They'll also build students' desire to do some deep research on topics they are interested in. These camps are designed to fit any level of students, new or returned.
