Summer Bridge Math Camp:
NEW!!
TCU
Extended Education’s Summer Bridge Math Program in partnership with Educational
Testing Consultants is a great way for your student to keep their math skills
sharp. There are five
classes in the series, each consisting of 12 online class sessions. Each class
covers key math topics from one grade, 1st through 5th.
The Summer Bridge Math Program is ideal for those who want to
keep their student engaged during the summer, either to reinforce the learning
gains made during the previous year or as a preview of the math topics they will
face in the upcoming year. Pick the grade based on what your child needs and would like to learn!
Each of the
five 12-session classes in the series (Grades 1-5) covers the key math topics
from that grade.
Summer
Bridge Math classes offer:
Expert
instruction. Each
class is led by a veteran instructor who has spent years in the classroom and
who is selected based on their ability to provide a friendly, interactive
classroom experience.
Sound
curriculum. The
topics for each class are chosen to align with widely-used math standards to
ensure that your student spends class time developing the family of skills
education experts have identified as central to math mastery at each grade
level.
Fun,
engaging tasks.
Students interact with the virtual classroom by writing on class slides and
manipulating objects on the screen.
Pre-recorded versions of class sessions. The content of each session is available for viewing 24 hours a day so
that students can go back and review topics that they may find challenging.
Out-of-class practice
problems. Supplementary exercises are provided so that students can gain
additional practice with each session’s topics to reinforce what they have
learned.
Easy-to-access online learning portal.
Students can join live class sessions via their browser; no special
software applications are required. For the best experience, students should
access class on a laptop or desktop computer. Some sessions may include
opportunities to participate via webcam or microphone, but microphones and
webcams are not required.
Choose the class schedule that
works best for you.
