For the 5th year, the University of Delaware is offering a middle grades summer mathematics program. Students entering grades 4th through 8th in the fall will have the opportunity to work on interesting and challenging problems by responding to materials sent to them through the summer months. The program encourages family involvement and will include some problems which will fit into a summer's vacation atmosphere. Will be mailed in May or as soon as enrolled.
Enrollment is accepted throughout the summer.
Three monthly packets of materials will be mailed by the 15th of each month, beginning in June or after enrollment. Each packet will include a mail-back form containing a set of eight problems and a discussion of the solutions to the previous problems. Participants will mail solutions to the University by the end of the month to receive written comments and feedback. Graded solutions will be returned in the next month's packet. For those students returning solutions, a final report of the student's progress on the summer's problems will be sent following the return of August's problem solutions.
