Did you know math is rooted in our visual neural networks?  This STEM program will present math in a hands-on, engaging and fun environment!  Your child will learn to do math on the abacus plus practice mental math techniques. Watch your child develop confidence and agility with math.  This class will broaden your child’s understanding of math as they realize they can be math rock stars.  Abacus and workbook included.

Camp Itinerary
Each day your child will learn a new technique on the abacus to include adding, subtracting, multiplication and division.  We’ll build on kinesthetic math with mind math, where students will amaze themselves and how much math they can do in their minds.  Kids are especially good at visualizing and applying their imaginations in math.  Number sense activities and games round out this fun experience.  One week camps meet from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
