Getting Ready for Middle School Math Onsite

Getting Ready for Middle School –  Rising 5  (depending on pre-assessment) and 6th Grade Students

This summer review program is appropriate for students who have language based and/or related disabilities who have significant gaps in their skills and conceptual foundations. We will cover basic numeracy and place value concepts with a focus on fractions as they relate to whole numbers. We will explore the concepts surrounding multiplication and division but we will not drill math facts for rote memory.  Rather we will explore patterns which aid reasoning and memory in a more humane way of addressing these deficits common to students with language-based disabilities.  We will stress the long division algorithm, and multidigit arithmetic which form the core of middle school math.  Our final week will be devoted to fraction and decimal concepts. Students must commit to attending all three weeks of the program and no exceptions will be allowed.  Students must be able to function in a group as well as independently with instructor support.
