                      • Processes that Shape the Earth’s Surface
                      • Plant & Animal Structure/Function Relationships
                      • Forces Affecting Objects    
                      • Motion of Objects
                      • Thermal Energy Transfer
                      • Characteristics of Physical & Chemical Changes
                      • Fossils
                      • Earth Resources – Rocks

                      Math Camp-In

                      Picture
                      Math Camp In is an exciting way to bring mathematics to your classroom or building!

                      Math Camp In began as an overnight program where students returned to school, hiked to math "trail posts" (stations), completed rich mathematical tasks and recorded ideas in their Camp Journal. Now, you can use Math Camp In as an overnight experience, a mini-unit in the regular classroom or a Family Math Night.

                      You can also order Camp-In-A-Box, which contains materials in numbers sufficient to conduct Math Camp In with 26 students. All you need to add is a few perishable items and excited students!

                      Math Camp-In-a-Box includes:

                      • Educator Trail Guide
                      • Camp Journal for each student
                      • Camp Badges for each station
                      • Station Directions
                      • Camp Craft for each student and much more!
