Nevada students entering the seventh and eighth grades in the 2023 fall semester have the opportunity to participate in a math and technology residential camp July 23-28 on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Registration is open until April 10.
This residential camp for middle schoolers aims to enhance mathematics skills and build awareness of mathematics-based careers. Program staff includes a mix of veteran teachers and upper-division preservice or beginning teachers.
The Nevada Math & Technology Camp, based in the College of Education & Human Development, is intended to increase students' knowledge, skills and confidence in mathematics and technology to enhance mathematical and technological competence in their personal, academic and occupational lives. Role models and professionals from the math and technology fields also participate as guest speakers during the sessions.
Instructors base their lessons on the Nevada Math Standards established for the grade level the students will enter in the fall. They employ research-based teaching methods endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, including a constructivist orientation to learning. Math topics covered in the camp include problem-solving, geometry, spatial skills, data analysis and probability and algebra. canvas login unr
