Singapore Math for Parents

7-8 PM in the Cincinnatus Refectory. Learn why Singapore math not only helps students become more successful problem solvers, but why it helps them gain a sense of confidence and resourcefulness because it insists on conceptual depth. This session, presented by Headmaster Michael Rose and Hillsdale College K-12’s Carrie O’Brien, will also offer tips on how parents can best support their students at home with math.
