MATH TUTORING & APPLIED STEM (middle school) - volunteers age 55+

Save to Favorites

Tuesday & Thursday: Math Tutoring and Applied STEM- Middle School Students will come in to math tutoring on Tuesdays to work on math homework as well as review concepts that they may be struggling with. IF students stay focused and complete their work on Tuesdays then they will be invited to Applied STEM Thursdays where they will do different activities and experiments that focus on the application of STEM in the real world (programming robots, making ice cream, 3D printing, etc.). I know that this often seems intimidating to our volunteers, I will put it out there though, that less than 30% of our school is passing math, so we are really spending a lot of our time working on basic arithmetic skills. I do make resource sheets available for any volunteers interested as well, that way they know what the students are working on before they come in to tutoring.

TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS - HOURS: 3:00 - 4:15 PM
