Summer Math Program​

July 7-25, 2025​

​​

Foundation Skills Program

Designed for Rising 4th & 5th Grade Students

The Foundation Skills Review is appropriate for rising 4th and 5th grade students who have language-based and/or related disabilities and who have significant gaps in their skills and conceptual foundations. We will cover basic numeracy patterns along with place value concepts, addition & subtraction, and multiplication & division concepts, as well as basic fraction concepts. This program is not designed to drill math facts but to provide the reasoning and patterns behind them.  Students will interact with math concepts through hands-on practice with manipulative objects, visual representations and games to reinforce skills.  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.

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 to addres 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.

Algebra Prep

Designed for Students in Grades 7 and Up 

This summer program will focus on skills necessary for performance in pre-algebra and algebra.  We will explore numeracy and place value along with fractions and decimals to see relationships in operations. Students will review solving one and two stage equations, integers, radicals and linear functions. They will build models for linear relationships and learn the foundations of slope intercept form along with graphing lines to model real life applications.  Students must commit to attending all three weeks of the program and no exceptions will be allowed.  They must be able to function in a group setting and independently with instructor support.
