Navigating, Level 4 Winter:
Class Information:
- Students in Grade 3 or 4 with significant math competition experience, who are eager to challenge themselves through advanced problem solving and Math Kangaroo preparation, are invited to join this Navigating course. This course is for students already confident with multi-step word problems.
- In this course, students will In this course, students will develop their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills through engaging activities and Level 3–4 Math Kangaroo-style problems. Topics include visualizing variables, exploring number patterns and alphabet-based math, investigating probability, understanding fractions and proportions, solving rate and distance problems, exploring geometric transformations, calculating area and perimeter, working with clocks and calendars, solving logic puzzles, and exploring input-output relationships. Students will learn to recognize patterns, make connections, and apply creative strategies to increasingly challenging mathematical problems.
- This fast-paced and challenging course is designed to help students develop confidence, persistence, and flexibility when solving non-routine mathematical problems.
- Homework for this course will be problems similar to those seen in class to reinforce the use of the strategies and techniques taught each week.
- This class will meet 10 times for 1 hour each.
- The class size:12 students.
