So last Thursday I was able to go into the 5th grade math club at my previous school and help tutor the kids. Mostly the kids were reviewing for the competition on the 4th of Dec. I was in math club when I was in fifth grade and sixth grade so I gave them advice and pointers on the competition! It was very fun helping out and I plan to come in again once a week for the next couples weeks before break and a couple weeks after break.
I attended their competition yesterday at Newport HS. It was a long and challenging day for the kids. But it was a great experience and fun as well!
I still see a good few of the kids struggling with just basic concepts such as the area of a triangle. And some kids don't really have a good understanding of the material and their parents are not willing to step up and take time to help them. So I offered to teach a tutor session on my own after school on fridays for those kids who need the help. I'm currently still trying to work that out.
