Problem Solving
Rising Grades 4 to 6
Learn strategies for solving challenging word problems.
This course is ideal for students who enjoy math challenges or want support in working with word problems. It introduces problem-solving strategies in a clear, approachable way, helping students understand how to break tricky problems into manageable steps. Lessons build confidence by showing students different ways to think about math, reason through situations, and choose methods that make sense for them.
Students explore a variety of engaging techniques, such as drawing diagrams, spotting patterns, using tables, and applying logic to make sense of real-world problems. They practice each strategy through short lessons, guided examples, and friendly problem sets.
At the end of the course, students take home a folder containing all of the work they completed during the session. They leave better prepared for school-year math and more confident tackling new word problems with a set of strategies they know how to use.
