Abstract: The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ [NCTM] Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) states that the Equity Principle means making challenging mathematics accessible to all students. This includes fostering students’ outstanding talent and/or interests in higher mathematics. The purpose of this article is to discuss a method for providing high school students an arena for the study of advanced mathematics through summer mathematics research projects [SMRP].
