Class Descriptions
Math for Gifted:
This class will be instructed in English and is
divided to two levels: Gr.3-4 and Gr. 4-5.
The Gr.3-4 level class emphasizes on the logical
thinking and problem solving skills in problems related to 'Addition,
Subtraction, Multiplication and Division' as well as decimals and
fractions. This level will also include some basic concepts in geometry
and statistics. After one year training, students will be at a level
comparable with those in Gr.5-6 level in general public schools.
Gr. 4-5 level class will understand in depth the
concepts in areas of geometry and statistics. Students will also get a
start on algebra and trigonometry. Teacher will use some physics
related problems for enhancing the concepts and problem solving skills.
With one year of training at this level, students will be at Gr. 7-8
math level in general public schools.
