Math Quest curriculum (used during the Junior Summer Math Camp - Half-Day program) is available for purchased. From a first-year program that introduces students to beginning concepts in algebra through play-acting and drama (dramathics), to a more advanced program in problem solving and discrete math, students enjoy exploring problems together and share in the excitement of mathematical exploration and discovery.
Which Math Quest class is right for my student? Remember that math is a subject that builds on itself and a strong foundation is very important. Sample problems for each book.
