Haeundae Office of Education in Busan will hold the "Elementary Math Fun Camp" for three days starting from the 20th, targeting 180 fifth and sixth grade elementary school students.


This camp aims to introduce students to the usefulness of mathematics and foster a positive perception of math through inquiry and hands-on activities.


Haeundae Office of Education will run the camp with programs such as "Inquiry Program" and "Exhibit Experience" utilizing the infrastructure of the Busan Mathematics Culture Center, dividing students into three classes and operating a total of three sessions.


Students will participate in inquiry programs such as ▲Building a Da Vinci Bridge ▲Calculating the Volume of Various 3D Shapes ▲Discovering the Secrets of Probability Hidden in Dice. They will also have time to experience outstanding exhibits at the Busan Mathematics Culture Center, including the Career Exploration Hall, Curriculum Experience Hall, and History and Wisdom Hall.


The Office of Education operates shuttle buses for convenient transportation and supported participation for students from distant areas such as Gijang and Jeonggwan. In addition, six elementary school teachers who have acquired safety officer qualifications will assist with student supervision and the effective operation of the camp.



Won Mikyung, Superintendent of Haeundae Office of Education, said, "There is a saying that the greatest joy comes not from what you already know, but from what you learn," and added, "I hope this camp will be a great opportunity for students to experience the joy of learning new things based on what they already know about mathematics."
