Singapore Math

Our math program is designed to strengthen common core subject areas. The math-based materials are designed for teaching Mathematics. Participants develop a strong number sense and solid math thinking through conceptualization by following the common core “concrete-pictorial-abstract” instructional sequence. Participants are encouraged to learn mental math techniques to simplify computation.

Participants learn to harness the power of Model Drawing in order to solve word problems. Model drawing has the following benefits:

• Assists with thought organization
• Allows identification of known and unknown values in math problems
• Promotes development of strategies to solve real-world problems

There will be periodic assessments of each participant’s progress, and individual accelerated math is available as appropriate.

5th Math Placement Preparation Class

Our 6-month test prep class will prepare 5th graders to excel in their placement tests at the end of 5th grade (usually in the middle of April). Students will learn 6th Grade Common Core Math, and they will take a monthly quiz. Quiz results will be regularly sent to parents so they can keep track of student progress. Homework will be assigned regularly.

This preparation class is free for our after-school students.
