Heading into 4th grade means tackling bigger math — and this course makes sure students are ready. Designed for rising 4th graders, this summer class closes the gap between what students know and what's coming next, covering fractions, multiplication and division, geometric shapes, and place value with decimals. Students work through real problems, build math vocabulary, and practice the kind of thinking that makes 4th grade feel manageable — not intimidating. By the end, students won't just remember their math facts; they'll understand why the math works, giving them a genuine head start when the school year begins.
