Prerequisites
Campers should be between 8 to 11 years old and should already know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division well.
Curriculum
The camp has an emphasis on fun, enrichment and expansion. It does not seek to accelerate, which means it does not focus on teaching higher grade math. The topics covered are: counting, fun puzzles, simple logic, fun in addition and subtraction, application of multiplication, division and divisibility rules, discovering patterns, odd and even numbers, simple inclusion-exclusion principle, simple pigeonhole principle, periodic things, symbols as your good friends. Although this is not designed to be math olympiad training, it is similar in difficulty with math olympiad for 3rd to 5th grade.
