During the summer of 2025, we are offering CogAT, NGAT, AGS 1, and AGS 2 Camps.
The NGAT (Naglieri General Ability Test) is a test that measures how well students can solve problems and think logically, without using words or language. It uses pictures and patterns instead of reading or math questions, which helps make it fair for all students, especially those who are still learning English. The CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) is different because it includes questions that use words, numbers, and pictures. NGAT is often better for students who don’t speak English as their first language, while CogAT works better for students who are more comfortable with reading and math.
During the class, students will receive multiple practice worksheets and homework assignments based on the material covered. We will also conduct regular assessments to reinforce the math and reading skills necessary for the test.
The CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test) is a test schools use to understand how students think and learn. It has three main sections: verbal, quantitative (math), and nonverbal (pictures and patterns). The verbal section looks at how well students understand and use language, the quantitative part checks math and number problem skills, and the nonverbal part focuses on solving problems with shapes and patterns.
Throughout the course, students will be given a variety of practice worksheets and homework to reinforce the concepts taught in class. We will consistently assess their math and reading skills to ensure they are well-prepared for the test.
Our K–5 Math program focuses on building strong foundational skills in number sense, operations, fractions, measurement, and basic geometry. Each class includes a warm-up to review past material, guided instruction on new concepts, and time for problem-solving and practice. Students are encouraged to think critically, explain their reasoning, and develop confidence with math.
To support learning outside of class, students will receive regular homework to reinforce key skills and promote retention. Short quizzes are given periodically to check understanding and help guide future lessons.
AGS 1 is a math course that consists of basic, foundational topics from Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. Students will begin by learning how to solve linear equations and inequalities, graph functions, and work with exponents. As the course progresses, they will explore basic geometric concepts such as angles, triangles, and transformations. The statistics portion introduces students to interpreting data, calculating measures of center (mean, median, mode), and understanding variability.
Throughout the course, students will practice applying mathematical skills to solve problems and explain their reasoning clearly. AGS 1 is designed to provide a solid foundation for AGS 2 and future high school math courses.
AGS 2 is the second course in the Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics sequence. It builds on the foundation from AGS 1 by introducing more advanced algebraic and geometric concepts. Students will work with systems of equations and inequalities, quadratic functions, and polynomials. In geometry, they will study similarity, congruence, and the properties of circles, as well as apply the Pythagorean Theorem and basic trigonometry. The statistics portion of the course focuses on two-way tables, probability, and analyzing data distributions.
Students will continue to develop their problem-solving and reasoning skills, preparing them for AGS 3 or other upper-level math courses.
