Welcome to Jump Start Tutoring! This program was created in order to prepare upcoming sixth grade students for the challenges that come with middle school math and the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS). The tutors involved in the program are two members of Ipswich High School's Class of 2009: Matthew Roberts and Audrey Shaughnessy, both dedicated to and accomplished in not only the field of mathematics but also all of their academic endeavors. Using materials straight from Ipswich Middle School math teachers and other valuable sources, Matt and Audrey will aid students in their preparation for sixth grade, while providing a fun and exciting environment. In addition to quizzing and brief lecturing, the tutors will engage their students through educational games and activities.

This web site is our creative way of getting students excited about math, keeping them up to date on assignments, and providing them with valuable online resources. Because a class site should be engaging, we'll present information that makes the subject interesting and fun, such as brain teasers or polls. We'll also include plenty of links to websites we consider helpful so students can explore a wealth of information on their own.

Events and Announcements:

Don't hesitate to sign up your child for Jump Start Tutoring just because they may miss a few classes! Though the dates are not yet set in stone, makeup lessons WILL be scheduled depending on the number of students in need.

This Week's BRAIN BUSTER!

Last year, the 8 kids in a beginner's horseback-riding group were 7, 9, and 10 years old. The mode of the ages was 10, and the mean was 9. There were equal numbers of 7-year-olds and 9-year-olds. This year the group has stayed together.

How old are the children now, and how many are there of each age?
