Advanced Mathematics (Grades 3-4) Mondays

Advanced Mathematics

Taught by Hawk's Nest Teacher Mrs. Louis

Course Overview:

This course is designed for students who have demonstrated strong proficiency in mathematics and are ready for a more challenging curriculum. Throughout the course, students will engage in various activities, exercises, and projects that will deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts and develop their problem-solving skills. 

The course will employ various teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles and keep students engaged. These may include hands-on activities, group work, games, simulations, and problem-solving challenges.

Sample Lessons:

• Number theory: prime and composite numbers, factors, multiples, and divisibility
• Geometry: lines, angles, polygons, and symmetry
• Measurement: length, perimeter, area, volume, and mass
• Data analysis: collecting, organizing, and interpreting data using charts, graphs, and tables.
• Algebraic thinking: patterns, equations, and variables
• Problem-solving: applying mathematical concepts to real-world problems and situations

• Students have a supervised snack period in the HCCS cafeteria from 2:20pm to 2:45pm.
• Instructional sessions are scheduled from 2:45pm to 4:00pm, followed by a brief transition period for students from 4:00pm to 4:15pm.
• After classes and transitioning, students can participate in various engaging after-school activities from 4:15pm to 5:30pm.
• Options include joining student clubs, studying in the HCES library (for grades 2-6) or attending storytelling sessions (for grades K-1), and having free play in the cafeteria or courtyard.
