| Summer Time at Private Prep |
On the heels of a fantastic school year, we are hard at work improving our service this summer. We are meeting with our tutors to share best practices and uncover new ideas. In addition, we are investing significant time and energy into the continued development of unique resources for our ISEE, SHSAT, SSAT, SAT and ACT programs. We are also testing the features of a new web based resource center that will be launched at the start of the school year. We are putting the finishing touches on a rewards program that will benefit our clients and help extend our service to underprivileged students in Harlem.
Needless to say, it's an exciting time for Private Prep. We look forward to the positive impact our efforts this summer will have on our students during the upcoming school year. |
Blog: Building Math Skills
|
Over the past few weeks we have been posting information about what students can do over the summer to stay sharp. Past blog topics on summer plans have included: high school entrance exam prep, summer reading, and SAT/ACT prep. In our most recent post, we highlighted math based games that students can play to sharpen their critical thinking and analytical skills. Below is an excerpt from the post:
It's no secret that a structured curriculum with lessons on new math concepts reinforced by homework practice problems and tests is critical for the development of math skills. For most students, summer represents a highly anticipated opportunity to get a break from textbooks, quizzes and structured school day. While it's important for students to use the summer as chance to relax and recharge their batteries, it's equally as important for students to maintain the skills they worked hard to develop during the school year.
As we have previously discussed in the Private Prep Blog, research has found that students typically regress 2-3 months over the summer without the structure provided by a math class. Fortunately, there are a number of fun math games that can help students stay sharp during the summer. |
