Prep 4 Middle School

Students entering 6th grade need to have a solid basic math foundation. At camp we will review 5th grade math and preview concepts to be taught in 6th grade. Students will be given an evaluation prior to camp. Activities and lessons will be designed to practice and strengthen skills based on this information. Instruction will be tailored to meet the needs of students at all levels of math competency. At the end of each session, parents will be given feedback on their students math strengths and challenges. We can help with resources for support. Our goal is to have fun and help students feel confident with their math ability.

A successful transition to middle school happens when students are given some basic information about what to expect and how to handle the new challenges they will face. Discussing schedules, how to get around the school, practicing combination locks and reviewing lunchroom basics greatly reduces concern about the first weeks of school.

Many students have not had the opportunity to learn effective study skills and do not have the organizational tools needed for middle school. Teaching basic study skills, test taking strategies, and sharing organizational tips will help students develop good academic habits.
