MatheMagics
What will you learn?
Math and Magic, what do these two topics have in common? Math can be magical and magic can be mathematical - combine the two and you’ll get double the fun.
In this camp, students will learn techniques for improving their mental math skills and performing impressive calculations quickly. For example, students will discover how to instantly determine the day of the week given any date from the last 250 years or the next 200 years.
Students will also get a chance to practice various magic tricks (no sleight of hand required!), all of which have a mathematical basis. They will enhance their ability to concentrate and focus, and get an insight into the design of algorithms.
Amaze and entertain your parents, friends and relatives.
