Join Crazy 8s, a totally new kind of math club. You’ll get to build dazzling shapes with glowsticks, crack secret spy codes, toss and play with bouncy dice, and more! Each week is filled with get-up-and-move activities that will level up your math skills. There’s no grading or homework review – just fun with friends. We’re making math the cool thing to do!The 9:30 am sessions are for:
• Kids in grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th
• Kids who can commit to showing up weekly for 8 weeks
Here are 3 reasons why your kid should join:
• It’s collaborative: Each week’s activity gets kids working together and moving around together so they can bond over math in a whole new way.
• It’s hands-on: Our high-energy activities explore the math behind kids’ favorite things like treasure hunts, card games, puzzles – even secret spy codes!
• It’s proven: Crazy 8s reduces kids’ math anxiety after only 8 weeks in the club and boosts their confidence in the classroom.
Weekly Sessions
