Rationale and Aims

Aimed at Grade 4 and 5 club learners and their maths club leaders. Dual focus on taking maths out of the classroom and into the real world and connecting mathematics to home, science and environmental awareness / issues.

The activities are interactive, hands-on and focused on joint problem solving with the intention of encouraging the participating learners and leaders to view mathematics a way of thinking and being creative in everyday life and seeing possible future career opportunities in the STEM field.

Encourage a strengthening of the Community of Practice for the club leaders and an introduction to a COP for the learners. Intended camp outcomes were to enable learners to:

• Identify themselves as confident and resilient ‘maths club learners’ in our local community
• Develop confidence and self-efficacy in themselves as mathematicians and problem solvers
• Develop an awareness of how mathematics connects to the real world

Develop the community of club leaders with respect to:

• Development of leadership skills
• Strengthening the after-care centres community of practice in terms of their belonging, knowledge and identity
