As students progress through the final grading period of the current school year, many families will start planning for summer vacation. Day camp, STEM camp, robotics camp, coding camp, dance camp, sports camp, art camp, scouting camp and more will fill the schedules.
It's also the time of year when parents start asking:
Is my child ready for more difficult material in their new grade?
Will my child be prepared for the state testing requirements of their new class?
Are they prepared for the workload and increased pace of homework that advanced and honors classes, such as Algebra, Geometyr, Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus, etc., require?
Summer is Uniquely Suited to Math Learning and Academic Instruction
Summer is a fantastic time for kids to learn math. Summer months provide children with a relaxed environment. This is conducive to clarifying and reinforcing learning and introducing new concepts. Without the burden of daily homework, children have more time, are less tired, and better focused. Mathnasium of Tallahassee students enrolled during our summer math learning and math tutoring make tremendous strides in a relatively short period of time.
A student's membership in the math education program at Mathnasium of Tallahassee during the summer and throughout the year includes:
- Math instruction customized to your child’s abilities, learning style and pace.
- Math homework help on summer math packets and for virtual classes.
- Fun, positive and confidence building educational environment. Students want to go!
- Flexible start dates. You can start now and finish the school year strong or once the summer vacation begins. No long term contracts necessary. All memberships are month to month.
- Flexible instruction options for Mathnasium members, including drop-in sessions at our learning center; no appointments necessary. Or, face-to-face instruction via video conference technology with Mathnasium @home. Don't let distance or a busy schedule keep your child from getting the math tutoring help they need. Many of our Mathletes continue their instruction while they are traveling or visiting relatives.
- Strategies that develop a student’s abilities to work independently.
- Parental support in the form of progress reports and monthly updates on skills mastered.
- Growth based learning plans that are updated.
- A proven track record of producing measurable results for:
- Advanced and gifted students seeking math instruction for enrichment.
- Students who need math tutoring assistance to learn for understanding, catch up and prepare for the new school year.
- Math test prep for the SAT and ACT.
Kids who participate in math academic programs retain and increase their skills in those subjects.
Summer math programs aren’t just for kids who are struggling; they’re for anyone who wants to catch up, keep up, or get ahead. Students who excel in math love advanced math enrichment programs, allowing them to dig deeper into math topics and challenge themselves with new math concepts.
During the summer, the majority of students lose the equivalent of two months of math skills. If you ask teachers about the skill level of their students in the fall, they’ll tell you children aren’t ready to pick up where they left off. If those skills are not re-visited, or the students don’t understand the skills upon completing these reviews, children are in danger of falling behind in math as new concepts are unveiled.
The good news is those who participate in Tallahassee summer math learning and math tutoring programs retain, and even increase, their skills. And those skills last a long time. In fact, a RAND Corporation study determined the effects of summer math education and academic experiences last for at least two years.
Power Up Your Child’s Summer
Imagine the boost to your child’s confidence when they do well on that first test of the school year. Rather than having to relearn last year’s math, they can start strong and improve on their knowledge, confidence and problem solving skills.
