The program offers a unique blend of instruction from Rice math faculty and experienced master teachers, providing a rigorous yet supportive environment for mathematical enrichment.
The Rice University School Mathematics Project (RUSMP) Summer Programs for Students offer high schoolers an opportunity to deepen their mathematical understanding and prepare for advanced coursework. The programs emphasize conceptual understanding, active learning, and mathematical communication through authentic, real-world problems. Students engage in activities that strengthen their problem-solving and reasoning skills, exploring topics that may not be covered in depth during the regular school year. The curriculum also focuses on proof and justification, as well as the responsible and effective use of AI for reinforced learning. Participants are taught by a team consisting of a Rice math faculty member and an experienced master teacher, aiming to enrich their mathematics backgrounds and foster college and career readiness.
A typical day involves engaging in concept-based learning activities, working on authentic, real-world problems, and collaborating with peers.
This program is best for high school students who want to strengthen their math foundations, prepare for precalculus or calculus, and explore advanced mathematical topics in a supportive university environment.
