This program offers a unique blend of asynchronous and synchronous online learning, allowing students to explore advanced mathematical topics like Graph Theory and Apportionment through engaging puzzles and collaborative challenges.
The NCSSM Summer Accelerator: Math Puzzles and Games is a two-week online program designed for rising 7th-9th graders. The course introduces students to various mathematical concepts through interactive puzzles, games, and logic challenges. The first week is asynchronous, requiring approximately 5 hours of work, where students will be introduced to Graph Theory and the mathematics of Apportionment. Each day, students will engage with materials and videos to learn a topic, followed by solving related problems. The second week involves about 15 hours of work, with synchronous video conferencing meetings where students interact with their instructor and peers from 9:30-11 AM. During this synchronous week, students will develop strategies for solving logic and "sudoku-like" puzzles, and collaboratively work on virtual Escape Rooms and classic mathematical riddles. Students are also encouraged to share their favorite puzzles and games with the class for further exploration. The program aims to provide a fun and stimulating environment for direct engagement in mathematical problem-solving, fostering critical thinking and collaborative skills.
During the asynchronous first week, students will learn a new mathematical topic daily through provided materials and videos, then solve related problems. In the synchronous second week, students will attend live video conferencing sessions from 9:30-11 AM, engaging in collaborative problem-solving and strategy development for puzzles and games.
This program is ideal for rising 7th-9th graders who enjoy exploring mathematical concepts through interactive puzzles, games, and logic challenges, and who are eager to engage in collaborative problem-solving.
