Math Club for Fourth Graders
The idea of the Club is to provide enrichment to the standard school math curriculum. The main focus is on valid reasoning and on scientific approach to solving problems, for example by extending them through asking additional questions. It is not our goal to prepare a team to participate in any specific math competition. The club is open for all third graders from Einstein Elem. though we are limited to 15 children maximum.
Einstein Elementary, Thursday 3:40 – 5:00 pm (in the library)
| Coaches: | Irina and Andrey Yatsenko |
| Parent coordinator: | Tali Guday |
We’d also like to thank parents of all our students for their constant support and feedback.
Note: Materials published here are the handouts we give to the children at the end of each class. However, discussions during the class might follow different paths or we might touch additional aspects of the problems. Sometimes our estimate of the difficulty level was way off, so we had to repeat some of the problems at the next class. We usually try to follow the same format: a few problems about the main topic (title of the class below), one or two fun problems and a game or some other interactive activity at the end.
