Course Description : Grade 6

 

Course Objective: The students will receive instruction in and demonstrate the ability to perform basic mathematical functions and problem solving in the areas of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, decimals, fractions, ratio and proportion, pre-algebra, algebra 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.
