Math Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to provide a refresher of last year’s math content to prepare for this upcoming school year. Not by simply teaching the subject, but by providing students with the tools and study habits that foster successful learning in all future endeavors. More important than knowing formulas and numbers is to know how to operate, analyze and systemize information. Lastly, this workshop will also get students to practice responsibility, teamwork and communication.
