Community Education - Rochester, Minnesota

For students entering grades 6-9 in Fall 2020. It’s here! Keep young minds active with the locally developed Math-By-Mail curriculum. This math practice is accompanied by enrichment activities for the upcoming summer months. This curriculum has been created by current middle school math teachers with 40+ years of combined experience! Minnesota State Standards, Math Frameworks MCA strands, and current Minnesota Benchmarks are the foundation for this curriculum. With creative problem solving, multiple choice, short answer and vocabulary embedded into an 8-week course of independent study, students will maintain or increase the level of their math understanding in addition to reviewing the recommended targets suggested by grade level in the Minnesota School Academic Standards of mathematics. A pre-test will be sent by June 15 to assess the appropriate skill level necessary to strengthen their individual math needs, unlike other programs that are exclusively grade level driven. Students will then receive 8 packets to complete at their own pace throughout the summer. As students finish packets, they are mailed back for feedback and then returned to the students. All packets are due back by August 17th in order to provide timely feedback before the 2020 school year begins.

More amazement and more magic is in store for this four hour session of magic. Students will use common items to learn and perform magic tricks. Hey…maybe they’ll even put on their own online magic show! Sign up today for the second round of YEL Magic tricks. NOTE: YEL has designed tricks using common household items. We will email parents a full list of these items in the days leading up to the first class
