 It’s not too early to begin thinking about summer school. As parents and educators are painfully aware, math comprehension has suffered during the pandemic. Schools are planning summer school programs to help students catch up on math skills. At Brick Math, we're hearing from lots of schools who want to use Brick Math in their upcoming summer school programs.  Brick Math, the program that teaches math using LEGO bricks, is a great supplemental curriculum that allows educators to laser-focus on specific student needs. Because it is subject-based, Brick Math can be used in small groups or even individually to create a custom curriculum. And because the same Brick Math brick set is used for all the subject areas of the Brick Math curriculum, students can make progress in several math subjects during the summer.  Brick Math is also expanding its offerings for the upcoming summer session: • All the Teacher and Student Editions will be available in Spanish by summer 2022 • The Brick Math curriculum will be extended through K – 8th grade with three new books: Data and Statistics, Ratio and Proportions, and Pre-Algebra Please contact us at www.BrickMath.com for more information about how Brick Math can help your students this summer.
