Essential Math

Lake Norman Charter strives to reach all of our students and create paths to support confident, self-directed learners. The Essential Math class has been created with this goal in mind. During the course, students will be reintroduced to mathematical concepts in an effort to build a solid understanding and shore up any possible gaps in knowledge. Students will receive small-group lessons to re-teach critical math concepts as well as unique assignments that will cater to each student’s specific needs.

In addition to improving foundational skills, students in Essential Math will receive a weekly sneak peek into a concept their classroom teachers will soon be introducing. This pre-teaching will introduce vocabulary and create a foundation from which the new skill can be built. The course will address student needs with positive reinforcement as well as with specific strategies students can take back into their math classroom, therefore creating confident mathematical thinkers.
