What Discrete Teaching Offers

Courses at Various Levels
We offer courses for K-8 groups and 9-12 groups, as well as courses intended for a more focused K-2, 3-5 or 6-8 audience.

One-day Workshops
One-day workshops featuring a single, in-depth discrete mathematics topic

Courses of Various Lengths
Week-long courses offering 5 topics, and two-week courses offering 10 topics, which may be taken in a single summer, or split between two summers

Each day of a Course includes

  • An activity-based workshop presenting the topic content
  • Problems which the participants work on, individually and in groups, to reinforce the content
  • The opportunity for participants to present solutions to the problems
  • A shorter activity-based presentation on a related topic, or on how to implement the day’s content
