Math Adventures – Grade 3-4 and 5-6 Students
Math Adventures is supported in part by the Canadian Mathematical Society
The students will explore interesting and exciting mathematics, curious problems, discussing and solving problems on
- Numbers
- Patterns
- Geometry
- Logic
- Math Games and Puzzles
The course is based on the knowledge and skills required by the regular math curriculum at the corresponding grade level, which will be enhanced and could be applied in non-standard problem-solving activities.
Each class will begin with an opening problem. After the presentation of a lesson by instructors, time will be devoted to independent work.
Please keep in mind that we offer enrichment, and not remedial programs. Our classes are intended for students who are already doing well in school math and would like to experience something more challenging and interesting.
