Mrs. Foley runs math enrichment groups for grades 3, 4, and 5!

Grade three students are studying number systems. First, they are exploring our own base ten numeration system. They will focus on the role that place value plays in our base ten number system Then they will compare and contrast different numeration systems.

Grade four students are studying algebra.  Students will study variables, expressions and equations, and how to use logical reasoning and problem solving strategies. 

Grade five students are learning about how variables change in relation to one another. They analyzed graphs to determine what was happening in given situation. Students are challenged to use a variety of strategies to tackle these rigorous tasks!
