Math Camp

Did you know Math can be really fun? Join us for two weeks of camp where through games and activities you will learn fundamental math skills and problem solving strategies. Lead by credentialed teachers, campers will be divided into two age groups so students may better focus on grade level skills. Students entering third and fourth grade will focus on multiplication and division, while incoming  fifth and sixth grade students will work on fractions, decimals, percents, ratios, algebra, geometry, and positive and negative integers. Chico Center for Learning, 260 Cohasset Rd. Suite 110.
