Red Pandas Read Word Problems

Red pandas like eating bamboo and sweet food, and love spending most of their time eating and sleeping. All things considered, they don't really like learning things that don't apply to them. So they learn math through word problems! Word problems help us learn math skills in an applicable fashion. In this class, we're covering a comprehensive review of previously learned math skills with a focus on strengthening weaker areas. Let's do some word problems and review our math skills!
 
Through in-class activities, independent practice, and word problems, students will:
Review all previously learned math skills and fix weaker areas*

**There is an additional $45 charge for DreamBox, which is a one-time purchase for the entire school year. Here at The Thinking Kid, we utilize the DreamBox Math App to enable our students to practice math skills outside of the classroom. DreamBox engages students through math games to test their proficiency in math concepts discussed in class. DreamBox access is essential to student success in our math program.
