Description:
Math Partners Program brings enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers into Metro Schools to give an extra boost to students who are struggling with math. This supplemental program gives students an opportunity to strengthen basic math skills and concepts with an especially strong emphasis on solving word problems.
The activities are engaging and hands-on; the small group settings encourage students to work collaboratively with each other, to engage in problem solving and to discover the relevance of math in everyday life.
Volunteers are needed to help students, grades 3rd-8th, improve their skills and understanding of grade level math. Forgotten your algebra? No problem. All of the curriculum is on a pre-algebra level. Volunteers are placed in elementary and middle schools throughout Davidson County.
Math Partner volunteers receive training and a Math Bag full of materials before being matched with a group of 2-4 students in an elementary or middle school. Volunteers meet once a week with their students for a minimum of 8 weeks – but most volunteers just don’t want to stop!
