Description
This course is designed to energize your math student and awaken curiosity in the divine design of our universe through mathematics. Students will explore some of the curious principles and laws that govern mathematics to explore how math affects them, and how it impacts their world. Each day students will be exposed to a new topic of exploration. We will discover the unique processes involved and they will be asked to perform a challenge for homework.
