This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on Logic and Proofs. In Mathematics, logic and proofs represent the most rigorous way to ‘solve’ a problem and form the backbone of advanced math. These critical skills have become increasingly tested in standardized exams with ~20% of SAT Math questions testing basic logic.

Directions:

The online address may bring you to the main entrance on Gessner. Best way to get there is via Gessner, enter through Clarewood Dr. (north of Bellaire Blvd). Enter campus via Clarewood and head past the check-in gate. Agee building is ahead on your left through the half circle drive. You may drop off your child at the entrance to the building; the classroom is on the first floor, 3108 first classroom on the left in the hallway. The window faces the street, so in case the building doors are locked (they automatically do sometimes after 4 pm), the instructor can view students arriving through the blinds and can easily let them in. Parents are welcome to park in any spot opposite the building in the parking lot. If parents wish to stay, there are comfortable couches inside the building.
