In these ongoing small group math sessions, learners will receive instruction in math covering number and place value, addition, subtraction facts and strategies, greater than/less than, measurement, skip counting, regrouping, explore standard, expanded, word forms, time, money and more, taking the learner from where they are today to a new level of understanding in a fun and engaging way.

Learners will develop a solid understanding of how numbers work, the operations of addition and subtraction, and possibly the beginning operation process of  multiplication depending on the level of learners in the group. Learners will work on computation of numbers as well as reading, understanding and completing word problems, read and retell math stories. Learners will play math games from time-to-time and have math challenges to complete, helping to make what learners sometimes believe to be a boring subject [math] FUN!

These sessions are great for learners who are on grade level but need a deeper understanding of how numbers really work, want ongoing practice, stimulation and practice, need additional math help, or want to get ahead for the next school year. Because these sessions are small in number, each learner will get attention at the level where they are performing. 

Learners come sharpener your math skills, meet new friends and have a good time learning what numbers are all about. Lessons are self contained so learners can join at any time, and hopefully stay for a while.
