Each day of Math Beasts Camp 5 consists of a Problem Solving component and a Mathematical Exploration component. Problem Solving keeps students sharp on important topics while preparing them for 5th grade. Each lesson includes a quick review of a key topic from 4th grade math, followed by a series of intriguing problems that push understanding well beyond the standard 4th-grade level.
Our Mathematical Explorations are designed to introduce topics that most students don't encounter until much later in their schooling, while equipping students with general mathematical strategies that will be useful throughout their education. The Math Beasts Camp 5 Exploration consists of a series of math-related two-player strategic games. Seemingly simple games like Tic Tac Toe introduce the concept of strategy, then more complex games teach students essential mathematical problem-solving tactics such as pattern recognition, working backwards, and invariance.
