Focus
Accelerated mathematics instruction that closes gaps and advances scholars toward algebraic thinking, conceptual understanding, and rigorous mathematical reasoning.
Grades 3–12
Math Accelerator: Foundational Fluency to Advanced Mathematical Reasoning
REAP's most requested out-of-school-time program. Math Accelerator is a thinkers' game — a fast-paced blend of mental math, conceptual knowledge, multi-step problem solving, and friendly competition. Scholars master addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, and exponents while building the confidence to reason algebraically.
Program overview
Focus, grades, and time-on-task
Grades & cohort
Grades 3–12. Each site selects its participating cohort, allowing the program to meet students exactly where they are and accelerate from there.
Time-on-task
2 hours per day during the school year and 4 hours per day during summer programming. Intensive, consistent practice drives lasting fluency.
Core components
Everything scholars need to build real math confidence
Math Accelerator is not a worksheet factory. It is a comprehensive instructional experience built on assessment, targeted fluency work, individualized support, and joyful competition.
- Foundational skill assessment
- Targeted addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division fluency
- Mental math & number sense
- Square roots & exponents
- Individualized and small-group instruction
- Conceptual mathematics
- Algebra readiness
- Multi-step problem solving
- Progress monitoring
- Embedded whole-child mentoring
- Confidence building
- Application of mathematics in increasingly complex contexts
- Thinkers' game competition
Off-campus Accelerated Math Academic Games Competition
The program culminates in an off-campus Accelerated Math Academic Games Competition — a thinkers' game where scholars use healthy competition to demonstrate growth, mathematical fluency, strategy, and problem-solving skills in front of peers, families, and educators.
- Demonstrate mathematical fluency under pressure
- Apply strategy, square roots, exponents, and reasoning in real time
- Celebrate growth publicly with peers and families
Fluency
Speed and accuracy with operations, exponents, square roots, and mental math.
Reasoning
Multi-step problem solving and algebraic thinking applied to increasingly complex contexts.
Whole-child mentoring
Confidence building, discourse, and progress monitoring are embedded throughout so scholars grow as learners and as young people.
