Math - Competitive Gr.3-4

Enrichment, 3rd and 4th grade students. We’ll build on students’ basic understanding of place values to make students comfortable working with large numbers. Understanding of fractions will be reviewed, basic operations with simple fractions will be required in some word problems. Word problems will require clear understanding of meaning for every arithmetic operation performed in solution. Exposure to geometry will include hands-on experience with polygons, angles, nets of simple polyhedra. Certain classical math circle problems will be introduced from Martin Gardner collection. Singapore level 3 books will also be used in class (roughly corresponds to grade 4 US math). Some Silver level students choose to participate in Math Kangaroo contest which is optional and not a part of the class, where the emphasis is on cooperative approach.

The cost of the class includes all books and workbooks used in the class.
