Welcome to Camp!
“Mathematics in Action” is a one-week residential camp held at Bemidji State University during the week of July 8-13, 2007 to be attended by 30 high school students. Students
will share a dormitory room with another participant, will participate in three courses, have the opportunity to hear several speakers, and enjoy numerous camp activities during the week.
Every student will participate in both Mathematical Problem Solving and Geometric
Reasoning courses that focus on critical thinking skills. Each student will take exactly one of the four courses that apply quantitative reasoning and problem solving to a specific discipline. These courses are Environmental Mathematics, Computing and Quantitative Reasoning, Quantitative Mechanics, and Running the Numbers in Earth Science. These four courses
will be designed to have students complete an interdisciplinary applied project. As a culminating activity students will present their group’s results to other camp participants
and their families.
Applications are being accepted until June 8, 2007 or until the camp fills.
