Abstract: This work presents an engaging instructional approach for summer camp students, integrating recurrence relations (difference equations) and differential equations within a unified framework. By exploring the connections between these mathematical concepts, students develop a deep understanding of the interplay between discrete and continuous structures. The program highlights real-world applications of mathematical modeling, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive environment designed for young learners.
