Sign Up for Saturday Math Enrichment at the University of Minnesota
ITCEP offers enrichment programs during the school year that provide grade 4-7 students with opportunities to learn and enjoy mathematics. The primary objective is to offer innovative activities focused on a variety of mathematics topics that take students further than a standard school curriculum. Each program encourages participants to explore mathematics and its scientific applications from different perspectives based on specific mathematics themes.Programs introduce students to the mathematics community and the role the subject plays in society. Students participate in interactive activities, conduct hands-on experiments, and work closely with outstanding instructors and University student mentors. They introduce participants and their families to educational opportunities and careers related to science, engineering, and mathematics. Students meet mentors associated with the University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP) and the University. Although students are challenged intellectually during these activities, the focus is on exploration, allowing students to spend time with others who are interested in math and science and who enjoy challenges.

Sign Up for Highlands Math Olympiad Team
Math Olympiads $25 registration fee
Grades 4-5, November - March
· To stimulate enthusiasm and a love for Mathematics
· To introduce important Mathematical concepts
· To teach major strategies for problem solving
· To develop Mathematical flexibility in solving problems
· To strengthen Mathematical intuition
· To foster Mathematical creativity and ingenuity
· To provide for the satisfaction, joy, and thrill of meeting challenges
The highlights for students are the five monthly contests, given from November to March. No traveling is required. These contests provide an incentive for students to intensify their study of math.
Each school's math team meets for an hour. Club members explore a topic or strategy in depth, using sample problems. If interested in joining, contact Erica Wattson at Highlands Elementary School. More information can be found online http://www.moems.org/program.htm
