Middle grades are a critical time for mathematically promising students. This is the time when students should develop a passion for math, create innovative approaches to problem solving and problem posing, and build a strong foundation for high school and beyond. It is not a time when brain development reaches a plateau. Rather, it should be a time of brain growth, maturity, and excitement about increasingly complex ideas. Join us to experience questioning and discourse strategies and a new, complete, challenging mathematics curriculum focused on reasoning, sense making, and creativity designed to prepare this next generation of STEM innovators.
