Summer Mathematics Program for Michigan Youth

74名具有高能力或高潜力的少数民族高中生将被挑选出来，在密歇根州立大学的校园里学习数学及其应用，并学习如何以口头和书面形式与同龄人交流数学。这些学生将是来自密歇根州29个学区的8年级到12年级的学生，这些学区被认为有大量的少数民族人口。课程将分为3个等级，分别是8年级和9年级、10年级和11年级、12年级。每个级别将由代表数学、计算机科学、书面和口头交流的三名教师组成的团队教授。课程将以非正式的方式教授，特别强调在适当的情况下使用计算机技术解决数学问题。后续会议将于下一学年在校园内及各区举行，为参与会议的学生及区内其他师生提供持续的支援。

Seventy four minority high school students with high ability or high potential will be selected to spend six weeks on the campus of Michigan State University studying mathematics and its applications and learning how to communicate about mathematics to ones peers both orally and in written form. The students will be entering 8th through 12th grade students from 29 school districts in Michigan which have been identified to have large minority populations. Classes will be formed with three levels of sophistication grouping the 8th and 9th, the 10th and 11th, and the 12th graders in the three levels. Each level will be taught by a team of three instructors who represent mathematics, computer science, and written and spoken communication. The classes will be taught in an informal mode with a special emphasis on mathematical problem solving using computer technology where appropriate. Follow up conferences will be held both on the campus and in the districts during the following school year to provide continuing support for the participating students and the other students and teachers in the district.
