Grades 6-8
bored_students.jpg (149682 bytes)Middle school math can be troubling for students and those who love them.   The math can get difficult, and sometimes it even seems boring.

The world is expanding for middle school students, with so many things pulling on their interests and their time.  Math homework can seem like something to rush through, and "get done."  Students feel an urge to race through assignments to get to the things they'd rather be doing.

But middle school math is the foundation that will determine their success in all high school math courses, and determine their experience and enjoyment of it.

So while middle school math may look tedious, and unconnected to the more interesting things in "big math," it is a big part of the success students can achieve in high school, college admissions tests, and college itself - regardless of their field.

We can help them deepen that foundation, whet their appetite, and make the journey far less dull and agonizing.
