Chyten's Shark Tank, Jr.©
In Chyten's Shark Tank, Jr.©, students play the role of young entrepreneurs as they start with the germ of an idea for a product and business and take it through the entire entrepreneurial process. Inspired by the TV show Shark Tank, our students will develop prototypes, formulate a business plan and devise a marketing strategy. Meanwhile, our teachers will provide guidance through contextual lessons on concepts such as wages, profits and branding. These young entrepreneurs will apply critical thinking skills to their creative ideas while honing their presentation talents in the process. The week will conclude with our young executives pitching their ideas to a celebrity panel of parent judges. Having acquired a new understanding of entrepreneurial development, these young executives will really be taking care of business!  (in partnership with Chyten Short Hills; The names and programs: Shark Tank and Shark Tank, Jr. are protected under copyright by Chyten Educational Services, Lexington, MA)

Competition Training for the Math Athlete
This class was created to stimulate excitement for problem-solving. Students will be training for competition in the Math Olympiads by exploring the twelve problem-solving strategies recommended by Dr. George Lenchner, creator of the Math Olympiads. Mathletes will be taking math contests from prior years and even play Math Jeopardy! Students will be pumping their math muscle on topics like number patterns, factors, multiples, fractions, simple geometry and measurement.

MInecraft Math
While playing Minecraft, students will have to conquer math problems in order to open doors and get needed tools and inventory items. The focus of the math problems are (1) order of operations, (2) word problems (3) multiplication (4) division and (5) fractions. You can calculate your way through survival mode!

Investment Literacy and Stock Market Game
This class allows students to apply skills in math, language arts and social studies to real world financial decisions. We use the Stock Market Game (TM) endorsed by the New York Stock Exchange. Students take part in the following steps: (1) Start with $100,000 in virtual cash and learn financial concepts like compound interest and long-term savings. (2) Collaborate and research companies and current events. (3) Create, manage and analyze their online investment portfolio using a state-of-the-art trading platform by buying and selling stocks. Topics covered include: What is a company? What is a stock? What is diversification? What is a bond? What is risk? What cause stock prices to change? How does money grow over time? What are dividends and earnings?

Lemonade Stand Entrepreneur
Take the challenge of creating a great lemonade stand business. Students will touch upon design, production (making the product), sales (selling the product), accounting (keeping track of the money), marketing (telling people about your product & business) and managing (organizing the business). Budding entrepreneurs will be developing their lemonade recipe, creating a product name, analyzing competition and running an actual lemonade stand at camp. Students will also be working on a simple business plan for a national Lemonade Stand contest.

Chyten's Team Titans ©
Help your team get ready to play ball! In this class focused on mathematics, problem-solving, geography and presentation skills, students pair up to serve as general managers of a new fictional baseball franchise. As managers of the team’s balance sheet, students must budget for player salaries, ballpark costs, maintenance, ticket sales, concessions and much more. They also use their design skills to create the team’s logo, uniform and ballpark. Location is also at the top of manager concerns as they study the geography of cities in the United States and Canada, completing market studies of metropolitan areas in which they might settle their team. Once chosen, they draw up blueprints for the new stadium and designing it while calculating all mathematical dimensions. All the while they are presented with word problems and mathematics dilemmas which call upon the general managers to use probability, mean, mode, perimeters, area, graphs, time, money, addition, subtraction and multiplication.

Scavenger Hunt Math
This is true learning on the run. Students will be grouped into teams and each team creates a realistic map and scavenger hunt for the other teams. Each day, the students participate in a scavenger hunt where the clues have mathematical components. Mathematical topics relate to concepts in Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in 2nd grade and 3rd grade like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, measurement and estimation of intervals of time, concepts of area and perimeter and more. The teacher will review the concepts, which will provide students with a preview of what will be forthcoming if concepts have not been touched on before.
