Math in Action CLASSES
Classes provide an enrichment that reinforces many of the math skills taught in the classroom and expands our kids’ math knowledge. Classes meet weekly afterschool from October to April. Activities vary by grade.
Math in Action classes is not about drills and memorization. It is also not a tutoring program. The main goal of this program is to provide our children opportunity to practice their math skills while having fun with the fascinating subject of math.
