CLASS DESCRIPTION

Kindergarten

Sunday

Monday

10:00 - 11:00

5:00 – 6:00

We compare, combine, analyze, continue the pattern, group, jump along the number line, look for the missing number (next year we will call it an equation with a variable), sometimes even look for the missing signs of arithmetic operations. Is it a math or a magic labyrinth? We like it!

Grade 1

Sunday

Monday

Thursday

9:30 - 10:00

6:15 – 7:45

6:00 – 7:30

Who said that math is only about numbers? It just looks like we are weighing toys on the balance scale: we make an equation with a variable. And solve it. This is not a puzzle; this is a word problem. The variable will help you to complete the math sentence. Equation solved! Looks like a magic square? Nope, equations again!

Grade 2

Sunday

Sunday

Tuesday

Friday

12:30 - 2:30

2:00 - 4:00

3:45 - 5:45

4:30 - 6:30

Start thinking math; leads you to abstract thinking. Variables: how could we do math without them? Critical thinking. Equations through different approaches: every child can pick his/her favorite. Guess my rule – function game. Logic problems are so-o-o tricky: here is excitement!

Grade 3

Thursday

Saturday

9:00- 11:00

6:00 – 8:00

3:45 - 5:45

12:45 - 2:45

10:00 - 12:00

First steps in laws of arithmetic. Functions through “Guess my rule”. Logical problems: when you just start thinking of it even fractions are logical problems. Critical thinking skills: analyze, compare, and make it easy! Variables, equations, solving word problems.

Grade 4

Wednesday

Thursday

Saturday

11:30 – 1:30

6:00 – 8:00

6:00 – 8:00

6:00 – 8:00

12:30 – 2:30

“Don't do it hard – do it smart!” using the just discovered magic laws of arithmetic. Word problems, equations, algebraic transformations and functions are just logical problems too. Discover polygons, find their area and perimeter. Fractions are not hard anymore; they are valuable members of the real numbers society.

Grade 5

Sunday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

2:00 – 4:00

6:00 – 8:00

6:30 – 8:30

4:30 – 6:30

Forget “Guess and check” forever. Every problem can be solved logically or translated into an equation. We are so good with equations that we can solve even distance, time, and rate problems now! Divisibility rules are discovered and even proved.  Decimals and signed numbers get a lot of attention. Percents are just fractions too! Angles, parallel lines and triangles are carefully researched and some interesting conclusions are drawn. 

Grade 6 Algebra

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

4:30 – 6:30

5:30 – 7:30

4:30 – 6:30

9:00 – 11:00

Master your Ratios, Proportions, Percents and Absolute values skills! Those topics are so important that even the SAT has a lot of fun with them. Your RSM’s “road to college” is about to start right there. Buckle up and get ready for the ride! Corresponding course - 6 Grade Geometry

Grade 6 Geometry

11:10 – 12:10

Get earlier start with the wonderful world of Geometry! Take opportunity of our special designed 6 alg+geo back-to-back course. Geometry often becomes an obstacle for our youngest SAT-I takers: while they are usually brilliant at Algebra, they lack the geometry knowledge to get the highest grade. Learn the basics: angles, parallel lines, triangles, polygons, quadrilaterals, circles. Who said Geometry should be “scary”?
