In this slower-paced, hands-on course students will review (4th/5th/6th grade) key concepts and ideas that are built upon in 6th grade and on. This course will cover material in a hands-on manner. Students need to bring a calculator, paper, pencil to every class. If other materials are required they will be posted 24 hours in advance.  

Please note students need to have completed 6th grade before enrolling. 

This is not an exhaustive course, the primary focus is skills students will need to be successful. 

Each class will follow the following format: Warm Up activity, exploration, and tie in to Middle School Math. This is a high involvement class, so students should come to class with cameras and microphones on in a quiet location.
