Let’s Lead! Math Heroes During MathCamp, campers will read and learn about Math Heroes, inspirational characters and extraordinary real-life people who use math to do amazing things. Campers in grades K–2 learn about the Math Heroes in their communities who use math to do their jobs, from a baker and a carpenter to a patternmaker and an engineer. Learning that math is used for everything from baking bread to constructing buildings helps campers understand its connection to their lives. Campers in grades 3–5 read profiles of real-life Math Heroes around the globe, shining a spotlight on the cultural richness and diversity of those who’ve used math to influence and impact the world. From designers and architects to coders and astronauts, these heroes show campers that math has relevance across a range of careers and interests. Importantly, these stories help all campers recognize that they can be Math Heroes too. And so can you!
