SUMMER MATH ACADEMY
Summer (August): August 21 – 25, 2017
Grades 9-12 (lower grades may be considered based on placement test scores)
Cost: $325 + tax*
St George Campus near College St.
Registration is open now.
The Mathematics Academy Programs are aimed at providing Grades 9 – 12 students with experience in Mathematics and Mathematics Research. The program strives to introduce students to concepts not typically covered in the standard curriculum.
Students will gain knowledge and skills in various aspects of mathematics and will have a chance to meet with members of the department currently involved in mathematics research.
The purpose of this program is to introduce students to an in-depth topic which is not normally covered in the curriculum. Rather than lectures, the program will be run with a heavy “discovery” component, where students do most of the work by working in carefully selected problems to figure results by themselves. The topic will be creative, fun, and somewhat abstract; in other words, what mathematicians consider “real math”.
SUMMER HIGH SCHOOL MATH PREPARATION PROGRAM
First two weeks in August
Grades 7, 8 and 9
Cost: $325 + tax*
St George Campus near College St
Contact: outreach@math.toronto.edu
Please check the program page for most updated information.
The High School Math Preparation Program is aimed at students who are lagging behind the rest of the class in mathematics, but otherwise have demonstrated an ability to learn at grade level in other courses. The intent is to provide students with a unique learning environment where they can regain their confidence while filling in the gaps in their knowledge of mathematics.
This program will target main topics in the Ontario Curriculum leading up to grade 8 and 9 and is not meant as a enrichment of the 8/9 curriculum.
