The camp focuses on hands-on, project-based learning where children engage in real builds and develop problem-solving skills, with a strong emphasis on understanding and explaining what they've created.
The Ellis Abel Learns Math Summer Camp is a week-long, in-person program designed for middle school students aged 5-14 to strengthen foundational math skills and foster a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The camp combats summer math loss through project-based learning, where students engage in real builds and develop problem-solving skills. Activities include a daily diagnostic to identify learning gaps, rebuilding missing math steps, applying concepts to physical projects, and participating in speed and fluency games. Campers will complete a physical build and be able to explain their creation, with parents receiving a weekly progress summary. The program serves both catch-up and enrichment purposes, with individualized paths determined by an initial diagnostic assessment.
A typical day involves a diagnostic to identify learning gaps, rebuilding missing math steps, applying these steps to a physical project, engaging in speed and fluency games, and a showcase where campers teach a younger camper.
This camp is best for children aged 5-14 who want to strengthen foundational math skills, close learning gaps, or explore math concepts in a hands-on, engaging way.
