Beat the summer slide and give your rising 5th-grader a running start into the school year with Bridging the Gap math classes this summer. In this class, students will review the most important building block skills from 4th grade and get a sneak preview of the new skills they’ll encounter toward the beginning of 5th grade this fall. Bridging the Gap to 5th Grade Math will emphasize fractions, lines and angles, and operations with multiple place values, preparing students to deepen and apply those skills to unit conversions, algebraic thinking, and word problems with fractions and mixed numbers in the coming school year.
