Algebra Proficiency Project

A wellness education endeavor for middle childhood students includes a well- rounded math education. Research shows a facilitative relationship between: (1) healthy nutritional intake coupled with peaceful study environment, and (2) higher grades, better memory and alertness, and faster information processing. 

Keeping with a feng shui approach to endeavors that promote intellect and creativity in  middle childhood students, the Algebra Readiness Project works with students on their math enrichment, using a combination of instruction and assisted math drills, which enhance faster information processing skills.

It has been known for decades, among scholars in the field of education, that computer assisted drills can have a salubrious effect on childhood math enrichment. Instruction provided in developing pre-algebra skills, as well as certain algebraic skills includes:

· addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions;

· addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of decimals;

· conversion between fractions and decimals;

· addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of exponentiated numbers;

· simplifying nth root problems (radicals), such as √4;
