Course Description : Grade 5

 

Course Objective: The students will be instructed and given practice in basic mathematical operations and problem-solving strategies in the areas of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, decimals, fractions, ration and proportion, and geometry.

​

• Build Strong Foundations — Close learning gaps before they become bigger problems in Algebra and higher-level math.

• Small Classes, More Attention — Only 3–6 students at a similar skill level, allowing instructors to work closely with each child.

• Go Beyond Homework Help — Students learn concepts, problem-solving strategies, and mathematical reasoning—not just how to finish tonight's assignment.

• Measurable Progress — Regular assessments identify strengths, weaknesses, and skills that need additional practice.

• Build Confidence & Independence — The goal is for students to understand why the math works and eventually solve problems without constant help.​
