Summer Programs - Get excited. Get ready. Get ahead.
Students often lose math skills during the vacation months. All Things Math offers several programs to combat the “summer slide.” Our summer programs are short math adventures in which students explore various math topics. These experiences help build the foundation for future success in mathematics.
All Things Math bases its instructional methods on the latest recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the new Common Core State Standards.
Topics in Algebra
Topics in Algebra allows students to review previously covered topics or get-ahead for the upcoming year. Each week, a selected topic is covered. Students meet four days a week for a total of 6 hours. The cost for each week is $90. Space is limited to 6-8 students.

Summer Math Attack
The average student loses 2 to 3 months of math progress during the summer. All Things Math helps students fight the “summer slide” and even move ahead. Our programs are short math adventures in which students explore multiple important topics and build the foundation for success in mathematics. We base our instruction on the latest recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the new Common Core State Standards.
Summer Math Attack features very small groups and a comprehensive review of topics to help students refresh old skills, fill in gaps, and learn new concepts. We use fun, hands-on, and challenging activities to improve students’ problem-solving abilities. Our goals are to nurture higher-level thinking, cooperative problem solving, and the self-confidence that comes from better understanding.
Each 2-week session is limited to 6-8 students and includes over 13 hours of instruction. The cost for each 2-week session is $200. There is a 10% discount for families enrolling in two or more sessions. Please call to register and to discuss the best level for your student.
| Generally for students entering 4th or 5th grade. |
| Please call to discuss the best level for your student. |
