My DD is a junior in high school. Throughout her high school years, she has had fantastic math teachers. She never thought of studying math until now. She is in Pre AP Pre Cal and is getting throu the class fairly easily at what many consider to be a rigorous high school. Here's my question- I can only imagine that many people who attend math summer camps or apply for Math programs in college are more advanced, have been more involved etc. she will now join clubs etc bc she realizes se enjoys it.before now, her time was spent working for the literary magazine and yearbook. I don't want it to look like she is not focused, but she really is just wanting to change her focus as she is truly enjoying math.
ALso- we were looking at math summer camps. Many are 5-6 weeks. She is very shy and is nervous about being away for that long next summer. (She does want to go far away for college, but psychologically, leaving for summer camps feels different to her). I can't find a math camp for a shorter durations. Anyone know of any?
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.
