MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THIS CLASS ARE LISTED BELOW.


This semester long math class is ideal for 8 through 10/ 11 year old children, depending on their abilities and previous knowledge. The children will be introduced to a topic during the class session and then have follow-up activities to do during the week.

Students and parents should be willing to engage in a variety of multi-sensory activities to support learning math concepts, in addition to class time. Each week will include several pages of home-time learning, outside of class session time. 

The class meets three times per week for 30-minute sessions and will utilize Singapore Math, a world-renowned math program.  Families are responsible for purchasing the required materials, which consists of 2 books, a student textbook and a workbook.  Students will have regular assignments from these.

A class at this level requires much involvement on the part of the parent. Many parents choose to sit with the child during class sessions, or follow along in the classroom on a daily basis.
