Summer Programs

Math is cumulative. For example, if a student has not mastered fractions, they’re going to find high school algebra difficult because it is grounded in fractions. Higher-level math frequently requires fundamental knowledge about underlying concepts that is necessary for success in sequential courses. The math trajectory includes some grades that are more critical than others. For example, in the years leading up to Grade 8, students transition from arithmetic into algebra. Studies demonstrate that when students have fallen behind, the most successful approaches to closing learning gaps and improving math proficiency involve explicit instruction and intense and targeted intervention to help students master the skills and knowledge required for success in the next grade.

Geared toward students who have been falling behind in math and those with gaps in their learning, Evoke’s Math Recovery program focuses on identifying and addressing academic gaps in math, concentrating on the most important concepts required for the next academic year. The program begins with a diagnostic assessment that allows us to pinpoint the specific concepts and curriculum expectations with which a student is struggling and help them get up to speed so they can experience success in the next academic year. The information collected from the math diagnostic is helpful in guiding our tutors so that they may effectively and efficiently develop a student’s skills and build fluency.
