Math+: Advanced Mathematics Learning Opportunity Gain an edge – with skills that matter
This is Reynold D’Souza, a Mathematics Instructor at Strake Jesuit. I have joined RedwoodPrep to teach an Advanced Mathematics class, Math+, this Spring for boys and girls in 6thto 8th grade. This Spring’s course focuses on Logic and Proofs.
I strongly believe in Math+ and would encourage your family to participate. Each Math+ course explores 1 major idea included in Stanford University’s introductory math sequence. This is world-class content tailored to younger students. I continue to be impressed by how students get excited and passionate about math during Math+. We want students to be excited about math – and Math+ does a great job doing just that.
This season’s course will be taught at Strake Jesuit on Wednesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 pm starting on Wednesday, March 23rd for six weeks with a break on April 13th. The program will cost $200. Families can sign-up at www.RedwoodPrep.com.
This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on Logic and Proofs. In Mathematics, logic and proofs represent the most rigorous way to ‘solve’ a problem and form the backbone of advanced math. These critical skills have become increasingly tested in standardized exams with ~20% of SAT Math questions testing basic logic.
Most interested students can succeed in Math+. I find that students with a gift for math or a real desire to participate can succeed and learn a lot. Students interested in advanced math classes, high performance on standardized exams or general math ability will particularly benefit.
