Donald Rheem School

The most successful Rheem students know that consistent practice and perseverance can make all the difference!  Therefore, we offer a summer math program,

“Rheem ROCKS” (Review of Computation Knowledge and Skills) to help students keep math facts and concepts fresh over the summer. The “Number Fluency Expectations by Grade Level” (see below) can be used as a guide to better understand what is expected at each grade level.

To participate in the program, students commit to study a minimum of 4 times weekly for 10 – 20 minutes.  Students track their efforts on a separate recording sheet which they turn-in to school when they return in August.

 

There is no specific curriculum for this program.  Instead, we encourage families to select the study method and level that makes most sense to the individual student.  This allows for acceleration as well as review.  Accepted methods include:

Feel free to “mix and match” from the above methods to keep summer study fresh and enjoyable.  Also, you do not need to limit yourself to just addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division practice.  With this system, you can practice any math concepts, including time, money, measurement and more!

 

Organizing yourself to meet the requirements of this program will also help you practice the important life skills of initiative, perseverance and integrity.  Be sure to accurately record your efforts on the recording sheet and turn it in when you return to Rheem in the fall. 

Enjoy and Learn!
