AMMASING

At ASU's Extended Math Camp, students participated, alongside teachers, in dynamic afternoon sessions with the AMMASING program focusing on:

• High school mathematics from new perspectives
• The work of teaching and research on how people learn mathematics

In addition, they worked with peers from a variety of backgrounds in ASU's Math Camp, a fast-paced and exciting evening program specifically designed to:

• Enhance knowledge of both familiar and unfamiliar mathematics
• Build confidence in one's mathematical ability and excitement about the subject
• Ability and excitement about the subject

Students will also participate in a school year program with several elements:

• A series of investigations focused on exploring familiar mathematics and the work of teaching. The investigations embody the quote above - opportunities to consider common topics in deep ways.
• Attendance at the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Conference – the largest meeting of mathematics teachers in the state, with many opportunities to explore mathematics and the work of teaching.
• A one day wrap-up meeting in April at ASU.

In short, Extended Math Camp is a unique opportunity to extend mathematics knowledge and interact with teachers as peers.
