Summer Camp Santa Clara: July 7 - August 1 (1-4 weeks options)
Motivation: The math program is based on having "fun first" approach to mathematical puzzles and learn in the process. These puzzles are designed to accentuate logical thinking and enable the students to learn mathematical principles.

Example 1 : This example is an exercise in logical thinking.
There are 7 boys on a soccer team. Each boy has a different position, jersey number, and height. Find out each person's height, position, and number. * Justin is the goalie * The right forward is #10 * The goalie is 6' 4'' * Joe is 6' 1'' * Ryan is right forward * The person next to Ryan is #14 * The person who is 6' 4'' is #16 * #10 is 5' 8'' * The left forward is #15 * Brad is right defense * Brendan is #20 * Michael is 7' 1'' * Miguel is #6 * Michael is left forward * #42 is right defense * Brad is 6' 2'' * #6 is center defense * #15 is 7' 1'' * #20 is 6' 7'' * Miguel is 5' 10'' * #14 is 6' 1'' * The person who is 6' 7'' is left defense * Joe is center forward.

Example 2 : In a game show, a contestant is presented with three doors. Behind one of the doors is an expensive prize, behind the others are (undesirable) goats. The contestant is asked to choose a door. The game show host, Monty, then opens one of the other doors to reveal a junky "goat" behind it. The contestant is then asked if she/he would like to stick with the original door or switch to the remaining door. (This puzzle illustrates a very advanced concept of conditional probability).

Example 3: How many paths are there for a King to travel from a1 to d4 without any other pieces on the board?
