Math Morning for grades 4 and 5 is starting this week on Friday, September 27 at 7:20 a.m.
Grade 3 Math Morning will start next Friday, October 4.
Math Morning is an extracurricular math program intended to inspire and energize students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades about interesting math topics. Each session typically includes a brief slide presentation on the topic, followed by worksheets with fun exercises. This material has been already prepared a few years ago by parents at a Lexington Elementary school; however, parents are more than welcome to customize it. Each session takes place every Friday morning before school and lasts 30-40 minutes. Parents are invited and encouraged to stay and assist their child with the worksheets, and are very welcome to join the teams.
The goal is to inspire, have fun, and to introduce the kids to concepts (Roman numerals! Binary numbers!) that aren’t in the usual school math curriculum. (And a corollary to this is that we don’t treat it as supplementing what they learn in class, but rather as a way to have fun with math.)
The program is every Friday from 7:20 a.m.-7:50 a.m.
The location is different for each grade:
3rd Graders: Library
4th Graders: Room 312 (Ms. Varallo’s Room)
5th Graders: Room 201 (Ms. Gorman’s Room)
