If you're choosing curriculum for a summer program, I implore you to go with a play-based approach.

Students don't need to suffer to learn math.
In fact, when they're engaged and playing, they learn more, and more deeply.

The cutest damsefly cleaning off dew this morning

I found this azure damselfly covered in dew

It became active so I popped my Canon R5 camera into movie mode, taken at 3 times magnification with the MP-E 65mm lens

Any good titles appreciated...

“Colors are not possessions; they are the intimate revelations of an energy field… They are light waves with mathematically precise lengths, and they are deep, resonant mysteries with boundless subjectivity.”

1/7 As the years go by, fewer educators hear about one of the most important research findings of the 20th century, known as the Eight-Year Study. Back in the '30s, 30 high schools around the US turned traditional practice on its head, especially for college-bound students...
