Students who have completed Grade 4 Accelerated or Grade 4 Advanced may continue to this course. We focus on preparing students for middle school with a mastery of computations, solving equations, and working with algebraic expressions. The curriculum emphasizes modeling when solving various types of word problems. The concepts covered in grade 4 are expanded and taken to the next level. Students explore the abstract nature of numbers and operations by studying number systems with bases other than 10. After completing this course, students are ready to enter our 6th grade Advanced or Honors level, based on their teacher’s recommendation.
