Middle school is when math stops being about arithmetic and starts being about reasoning — negative numbers, ratios, variables. It is also when many students quietly fall behind, because each unit builds on the last. Tutoring now keeps your child on track for Algebra I instead of trying to catch up later.
What we cover in Middle School Math
- Integers & negative numbersAdding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing with negatives.
- Decimals, fractions & percentsConverting between them and using them in real problems.
