Rabbit Math

RabbitMath Overview

RabbitMath is a mathematics camp for middle school students interested in math and science who have a curiosity for exploring new ideas. With a focus on problem solving, our hands-on activities are led by a diverse group of graduate students. RabbitMath camp will run from Monday, July 28th, 2025 at 9 am to Friday August 1st, 2025 at 1 pm.

For the first time ever, in 2025, we will offer both an overnight, residential camp as well as a commuter, day-camp option. The residential camp included all meals and 5 nights in residence (Sunday through Thursday night), with programming continuing into the evening. Day campers join the activities during the day, from 9 am to 4 pm Monday through Thursday, and 9am - 1 pm on Friday, with lunch provided each day at one of the university dining halls. Snacks and other materials are also provided, including a RabbitMath t-shirt. Campers must be entering grade 8 or entering high school in September.

We owe the structure of our curriculum to the pioneering work of Alfred North Whitehead (1920s) who warned that if we failed to pay attention to the stage of Romance our student's learning would come to naught. And to the insights of John Dewey (1030s) who emphasized the significance of the students' "Experience" in their learning. And finally to Seymour Papert (1970's) who wanted his students to be sculptors, working together to perfect their creations. You can find out more at our website: https://www.rabbitmath.ca/
