Think Math
Grades K-5
Would you like for your child to have extra time learning math in a way that is challenging and fun? Or do you want to take the fear out of math for them? In Think Math, children work with Georgetown, GWU, and American University undergrads who make learning fun and are great role models. We place children into small groups based on what they know and what they need to learn next, which makes our program good both for children who seek to explore new or challenging topics, and for children who need to strengthen their knowledge of math fundamentals. Our program builds confidence, and develops conceptual learning and critical thinking skills. Children normally work in groups of 3-8 children per instructor and use an international math curriculum. For more information, go to www.think-math.com
Note: Parents and students must attend an Orientation Session on Wednesday, January 23rd from 6:00 to 7:30 PM in the Glebe library.
