Summer presents an opportunity to reinforce concepts and solidify math competency in preparation for future higher-level math classes. In our Pre-Algebra Skills experience, fundamental algebraic math skills (fractions, decimals and ordering numbers) are reinforced and strengthened using application problems which help students to visualize mathematics in the world around them. By the end of two weeks, students should be more confident and proficient with deconstructing and organizing solutions to solve problems.
