Campers will meet Grouper, the Regrouper, one of the “mathical” characters that guides campers through the essential process of regrouping that is used in addition and subtraction. Campers will use real beans and test tubes to develop a solid understanding of place value. Your child will also explore the world of odd and even numbers, play with patterns, create a Digit Atlas, and enjoy stories that involve math.
