Fun with Math
ULM's Math camp gives students the chance to explore the exciting concepts of mathematics
while challenging themselves and learning new skills. As an added benefit, campers
will meet other children and work cooperatively to discover the beauty of mathematics
and its applications through fun, hands-on projects. Our Math Camp will be taught
by two instructors: a current ULM mathematics instructor who has worked with teachers
at both the elementary and junior high levels. She has also presented at local, state,
regional and national mathematics conferences. The second instructor is an elementary
teacher that is certified in Elementary Education 1-5 and Special Education 1-12.
She has taught in this capacity for ten years in two different states with several
specialized trainings. They have created and acquired a plethora of activities and
strategies for helping students internalize the uses of mathematics by making the
abstract ideas that they have learned during the school year concrete.
