Keep your math skills sharp over the summer! This “pen pal-like” program provides students the opportunity to practice previously learned math concepts and to build confidence. Students will take a pretest and fill out a questionnaire to individualize their program. Students will then receive nine weeks of lessons. Each week’s packet will include five math lessons with problem-solving activities. The activities will apply to a specific math concept. After the student has completed a packet, they will mail it in. We will make corrections, provide feedback, and mail it back. Students may start and finish the course at their own pace. When all lessons are completed, students will receive a certificate of achievement and a restaurant meal coupon.

Math-by-Mail is expanding its options to do math! How exciting! We continue to serve upper elementary through 9th grade. Not only are we offering our predetermined set of 8 packets, we will also offer an ala carte menu! Our added approach allows for individual choice regarding the skills and concepts students and parents can request to build math confidence. Still an 8 week course with a self paced approach! Student completed packets should be mailed (USPS) to Math-by-Mail. We will then provide feedback and return corrected packets to students via USPS. As always the goal of Math-by-Mail is to provide rich content to maintain mathematical understanding!
