Math Jam
If you’re nervous about an upcoming math course, Math Jam is here to help! It’s a relaxed and supportive one-week program that can help you build skills, knowledge and confidence before a spring or fall math course begins.
In Math Jam, you’ll revisit key concepts from previous classes and preview things that will be covered in the upcoming course. You’ll also build other skills key to academic success and connect with valuable resources.
And, if you complete the program, you won’t have to buy a textbook for your math class. We’ll loan you one for the entire semester.
