DOES YOUR CHILD NEED TO IMPROVE THEIR MATH SKILLS THIS SUMMER?
We've got you covered.
As a parent, it can be overwhelming to try to find the most worthwhile way to help your child in math. We get it. You have limited time, and it can be confusing just trying to figure out where to start and what to focus on that will actually make a difference and not be a waste of time and money.
When it comes to figuring this out, consider that two main areas tend to have the biggest overall impact and consistently cause turmoil throughout 3rd - 6th grades in math: Word Problems & Fractions. That's why we designed the Unlocked course series with targeted instruction and practice in these key areas to help provide immediate improvement plus equip students with skills vital to future math success.
This online virtual tutoring program is all about helping students build a solid foundation for working with fractions - from shapes, number lines, sets, and problem solving. Perfect for 3rd & 4th graders, students will build concrete skills & gain confidence around using fractions.

So what do most of us end up doing?
We put off doing anything. And our kids start the next school year just a little bit further behind.
We get overwhelmed. We have busy lives. And, reality check: the idea of doing math all summer doesn't sound that appealing to us or our kids.
Plus, teachers review all of last year's skills at the beginning of the new school year, right? Not exactly.
The problem is that math is extremely cumulative. This is especially true once your child reaches 3rd grade. When new skills are introduced it is with the expectation that they have mastered foundational skills from the previous grade.
Bottom line: if your child struggled in math this past school year and you don't do anything to help them, then you can bet that next year they will continue to struggle and fall further behind.
Ready to take action? Here's your plan...
Step 01
Choose Your Course
Select the topic and grade level that best fits your child's needs. You can't go wrong with either Fractions or Word Problems, since these are both foundational to math success. But if you're having trouble deciding, now is a great time to buy both - you can save 23% with code SUMMER23 at checkout!
Step 02
Get Started Now
Sign in and get started! Everything you need is in your course hub online. Aim to have your child complete just one to two lessons per week. They'll start learning concrete skills right away and gain confidence they will carry into their next school year.
Step 03
Keep Learning Later
Your courses are yours to keep forever. This means that you & your child will keep access to all of the videos, step-by-step guides, and cheat sheets to go back to whenever you need them - like when those word problems crop up on homework or when it's time to study for that fractions test.
Which topic should you choose?
There are huge benefits to mastering both Fractions and Word Problems for kids in 3rd - 6th grade. If you are having trouble deciding which course to get started with, check out our top 3 reasons for each topic.
FRACTIONS
#1 - Fractions are mission critical for success in elementary, middle and high school math - there is no escaping them!
#2 - Kids are behind when it comes to learning fractions. In a 2022 NAEP study, 74% of 4th graders were unable to successfully compare 2 fractions (and that's one of the easier skills they'll learn).
#3 - Fractions are also everywhere in real life: cooking, shopping, measuring, managing time. Look closely and you'll see fractions in almost every in-demand profession like medicine, construction, engineering and computer science.
WORD PROBLEMS
#1 - Word problems are difficult for many kids because there are so many steps to get to a correct answer. Even students who enjoy math often become frustrated when confronted with a word problem.
#2 - Practicing word problems packs a powerful one-two punch. When solving word problems students will also be tuning up their computational math skills like addin g, subtracting, multiplying & dividing.
#3 - Students will encounter word problems on tests - all the time. This is true for both classroom and standardized tests, where more than half of the questions are word problems.
