Campers learn the 36 multiplication facts, the roots from which much of the rest of math grows, through a proprietary MathTree® process that provides a rock-solid conceptual base for multiplication while enhancing fact solving and memory with a variety of mathematically based “tricks” with exotic names such as 6 x Even and Thumbs Up, many using hand configurations. No flash cards! Instead, campers connect to proportionally-sized multiplication fact cards that engage them physically, verbally, and auditorially. Campers play plenty of math games and use manipulatives for an assortment of math activities.
