What’s new with math this year? - updated 7/25/26
Math 7— we have two options for our fall semester of Math 7. Either meet every week or just once a month. During spring semester, everyone meets every week.
Meet every week = Traditional Math 7: this includes review of math 6 material and more instruction, games, and practice for new Math 7 concepts. $550 for 14 weeks, 1.75 hours per week
Meet just once a month = Hybrid Math 7. Come to class on the first Tuesday of the month for direct instruction on new Math 7 concepts then work on assigned Math 7 and Math 4-6 review using Ms. Lisa’s full curriculum at home. For the once a month only class, register for “Hybrid Math 7 or Fall: Monthly Math 7” $225
