Math Enrichment: Skills and Strategies
Discover how math can be fun!
About this class
The goal of this class is to have students gain fluency and confidence with their arithmetic and numeracy skills, all while having fun and being creative with numbers. Students will leave with skills that they can apply in their future math classes.
- Week 1: Multiplication Magic – We will explore the beauty of multiplication. There’s not just one way to do it. How do children in other countries multiply? Why is 8×15 the same as 4×30?
- Week 2: The Power of Estimation – We will practice our estimation skills since it is a great skill that can be applied quickly and save us from making silly errors.
- Week 3: Binary System – We use a decimal system as our number system, which is also called Base 10. We will explore the binary system and talk about how it’s used with computers.
- Week 4: Pre-Algebra Fun – Students will do puzzles that will build skills for algebra, such as getting them ready for writing equations and factoring.
When time permits, we will also play math games, do some number tricks, and do some art projects using math.
PREREQUISITE: Students should know their 1-12 times tables and should have been exposed to multii-digit multiplication (for example, 36 x 97).

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
