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 a summer opportunity to keep young minds active with this locally developed curriculum. Math practice accompanied by enrichment activities for the upcoming summer months. Created by current middle school math teachers with 50+ years of combined experience! Minnesota State Standards, Math Frameworks MCA strands, and current Minnesota Benchmarks are the foundational basis for this curriculum. With creative problem solving, multiple choice, short answer and vocabulary embedded into an 8-week course of independent study, students will maintain or increase the level of their math understanding, in addition to reviewing the recommended targets suggested by grade level in the Minnesota School Academic Standards for mathematics. Each student will be given a pretest to assess the appropriate skill level necessary to strengthen their individual math needs, unlike other programs that are exclusively grade level driven. Students will receive an 8-lesson packet to complete at their own pace throughout the summer. As students finish packets, they are mailed back for feedback and then returned to the students. All packets are due back by August 10 in order to provide timely feedback before the 2023 school year begins.
