Mathematics for the HSPT

The mathematics section of the HSPT is not high school math, such as Algebra I and Geometry. In fact, it is math that was covered for the most part in the 5th and 6th grade. Many 7th graders either did not learn these concepts very well or have forgotten how to do some of the basic mathematical operations that are included on the math and quantitative sections of the HSPT.

This course will review the basic math skills that students need in order to be successful on the HSPT. Students will review mathematical operations involving decimals, percents, and fractions, as well as one- and two-step equations, proportions, interest and sales tax problems, and basic geometry.

In addition students will learn to write equations from mathematical sentences and will learn to solve series problems like those found on the quantitative section of the HSPT.

The course will build a strong foundation in mathematics that will help students not only to be prepared and feel confident in taking the math and quantitative sections of the HSPT, but also to be successful in 8thgrade and high school mathematics courses.

“I wanted to share some very good news with you and that is that John is finally understanding Algebra! We know it's because of the tutoring help that he has been getting from you and your son Paul in your weekend HSPT Math classes. We are finding that for the first time ever, he actually understands how he is supposed to do the problems, he is getting the right answers and showing the work. He could never do this before. All that has changed since taking your course. I don't know what to say, except Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for finally reaching my son in math.”
—Fran Wilkinson

“Justin's math grades have improved upon taking your course. I have a friend whose son is in 5th grade and seems to have the same disconnect in math that Justin did until taking your course. I just think if he could have been reached sooner it could have helped him that much more. Thank you so much.” —Rochelle P.
