This 10-week class is for 6 to 8 year old students who are ready to learn math information beyond their grade level standards. The instructor will be using the first half of the Primary Grade Challenge Math book by Edward Zaccaro. This book allows learners to develop a deeper level of mathematical understanding and thinking skills, while nurturing a love of mathematics with fun pictures and explanations for concepts. Each chapter has questions that are broken down into four levels: Level 1 (easy) Level 2 (somewhat challenging) Level 3 (challenging) Einstein (very challenging). These levels allow students to feel success with a concept while questions get increasingly more difficult to challenge their thinking. Students who are highly successful in math often struggle with not knowing how to do something or how to ask for help, so this approach helps teach them strategies to deal with those feelings. The course will cover a new chapter each week for 10 weeks. Groups will be kept small to ensure personalized instruction. Week 1 : What's the Next Number?- Sequences Week 2: Don't Let it Break- Problem-Solving Week 3: How Much Does it Cost?- Money Week 4: How Much Change will I Get?- Money Week 5: Balance It- Equivalent Fractions Week 6: I Have to Change the Recipe!- Converting fractions Week 7: Magic of Multiplying- Multiplication Week 8: How Many Legs are There?- Multiplying and Exponents Week 9: Percent Machine- Percentages Week 10: How Much Will I Need- Measurements
