Math Foundations
This class teaches and reinforces the foundational math skills that must be known with automaticity for high math achievement going into middle and high school. By reviewing concepts like operations with positive/negative numbers, rounding, operations with fractions, factoring, identifying patterns, area/volume calculations, and geometry concepts on a regular basis, your student will avoid the "summer slump" and strengthen foundational math knowledge for future success. Students will be split up into 2 groups based on grades and math level (typically Grades 4-6 and Grades 7-9).
