Math Plus is a small-group intervention class designed for children ages 7–12 who need additional support to strengthen foundational math skills and build confidence in mathematics. The program focuses on identifying learning gaps and providing explicit, hands-on instruction that helps students develop a deep understanding of essential concepts before moving on to more advanced skills. Children work on number sense, place value, fact fluency, operations, problem-solving strategies, fractions, math vocabulary, and mathematical reasoning through engaging, multisensory activities tailored to their individual needs. The goal of Math Plus is not only to improve academic performance but also to help children develop confidence, perseverance, and a positive relationship with mathematics.
