"I ate sum pi"....

So I found this shirt the other day on Pinterest (my other addiction) and don't you just LOVE it!!!! I am so thinking about getting one of these!

Math Camp {Summer with Pizzazz!}

 These were a few of my lovely "Middle School" kids that took place in my first annual Math Camp. I dedicated two months of the summer to building and shaping students to better prepare them for the coming school year. I spent June with Elementary ages and July with Middle and High Schoolers.

And might I add.... IT WAS A BLAST!!!

Far more fun than I anticipated! And if you ask any of the students, they had fun too!

Here's some of the things we did this summer: (of course each grade level varied on the content)

Elementary:

• Math Horse (with math facts)
• Tangram puzzles to build problem solving
• Math fact beach ball
• Fraction scavenger hunts
• Dice games to build operational skills (highly recommend the game I foung called "Salamander Shootout" - this also worked with my middle school kids)
• And of course, the ever popular Fact Race game

 Middle/High School:

• Checkers problem solving puzzle (found at Dr. Mikes games for kids)
• Fractions, decimals & percents scavenger hunt and race game
• Math Maze
• Honeycomb magic square
• Marcy Cook's Double tiles and Order of Operation tiles
• Math horse with fractions
• Nerf gun graphing
• Factoring (algebra review)
• Formulas (algebra review)
• Radicals and Polynomials (algebra review)

I cannot wait until next summer to elaborate more on what I did and to have more students take part in making their summer meaningful!!! Here's to school starting in a couple weeks!
