Middle School Math

Middle School Math Program

In MathProject’s middle school program, students master arithmetic and begin to understand how and why numbers relate. This program introduces students to more abstract concepts: negative numbers, percentages, probabilities and decimals. Students are also introduced to complex word problems that require both logic and mathematical reasoning. Our middle school program provides students with enough drills to master thoroughly the facts needed to lay a foundation for high-school level math. Completing our middle school program actively prepares students for high school math and equips them to tackle competitive entrance exams.

Helping Our Students Build Foundational Skills in Middle School Math

During the middle school years, the students solidify their grasp of mathematical operations by plenty of practice and no use of hand-held calculators. They also begin to do more complex word problems that require both logic and abstract mathematical reasoning. Our curriculum provides enough practice problems and drills to master thoroughly the facts needed to lay a foundation for high-school and university level math. We only allow usage of calculators once the students have mastered basic mathematical operations and mastered “lower-order skills”.

Helping Our Students Thrive and Advance in Middle School Math

Mathematically inclined students are introduced to additional concepts beyond the typical school curriculum. They are motivated and trained to compete in national and international math contests, including Mathematica, Kangaroo, Gauss, Pascal, Euclid, Canadian Open Math Challenge (COMC), International Mathematical Olympiad, and various others. Such students may also qualify for MathProject’s ‘Enrichment Program Scholarship’ (please speak to our Program Manager for more details). Many of our Enrichment Program students pass IB / AP program entrance tests with flying colours.

K-8 Homework Club

While the students enrolled in MathProject’s middle school curriculum are typically much ahead of their peers at school and are able to do their schoolwork with little assistance, it is often the case that some students join the program late and parents want their school math to get immediate attention. In that case, we recommend our program, the K-8 Homework Club*, as a temporary solution to help them do well in school. Parents can complement this program with our regular middle school program to ensure long-term success, at their discretion.

Our K-8 Homework Club* ensures middle school students are confident and equipped to complete their school math homework. This program provides homework help on a one-on-one basis, enables students to stay ahead of school, and prepares them for school tests in advance. Our students perform with confidence and commonly ace math in school.
