SummerMath For Students (Continues through July 31) For more information, contact Charlene or Jim Morrow at (413) 536-2608. This program provides an opportunity for young women in high school to actively explore mathematics, build confidence, discover computers, develop problem-solving strategies, and get a "taste of college." Most students live on campus and, in addition to classes, have opportunities to participate in sports, creative writing, arts and crafts, and day trips. The program is not only for "A" students looking for new frontiers in mathematics, but is also for students who approach mathematics with fear and little confidence. All students are challenged to deepen their conceptual understanding of math in a supportive environment.
