All the courses in this section are presented in cooperation with the University Of Minnesota Institute Of Technology Center for Educational Programs.
 Numeric Patterns
Mathematically promising students will investigate the framework of numerical systems including place value, number sense, and fraction concepts. This investigation, which uses visualization and modeling, is an exciting and interesting way to discover the language of mathematics. Learn about the creation and uses of early number systems and algebraic patterns while investigating the concept of encoding.
