The Math SEAL Boot Camp (MSBC) helps prepare kids aged 9-13 for success in math and life. MSBC features a math teaching methodology that uses music to increase student cognitive involvement, relying less on rote memory skills and more on associative problem-solving. Students will work to master exponents and the order of operations that tells us the right order in which to solve different parts of a math problem. The order of operations is so important during the upper elementary and middle school level and students have so much difficulty. MSBC student cadets will learn in an environment that includes team building in a small interactive class environment (three student maximum per class) from the convenience of home.

About MathSEALs
Math SEALs is a great tool for math intervention programs, after school programs, and summer camps. The curriculum offers engaging lessons that incorporates all seven learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, verbal, logical, social, and solitary. For teachers, MathSEALs provides scripted lessons, as well as all the materials and resources you’ll need to make teaching math a success. MathSEALs takes the toughest math standards, and provides tech-flexible and engaging lesson plans to encourage student success.
Flexible technology integration:
MathSEALs is flexible, and the technology activities can be used whenever teachers are ready for them. We understand that some classes may not have consistent access to technology, so the lessons are designed to be flexible. Some of the activities can even be assigned for homework, where students can use their mobile device for completion. Teachers can successfully work through their lessons, and complete the tech activities when it is convenient to do so. When using the suggested technology lessons, we provide you with the student accounts to make setup a breeze.
