EBI Math Club: Building Strong Foundations for Young Minds

Closing the Math Gap, One Student at a Time

Across the nation, elementary students continue to feel the ripple effects of pandemic learning loss — especially in math. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) found that math scores for 4th graders dropped seven points since 2019, the steepest decline in more than 30 years. Many children now struggle with basic numeracy, problem-solving, and confidence in their math abilities.

At Expanding Boundaries International (EBI), we see this as a call to action. The EBI Math Club is designed to help 3rd and 4th graders close learning gaps, strengthen their skills, and rediscover the excitement of learning math — in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Program Details

Who: 3rd & 4th Grade Students
When: Every Thursday, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Where:

  • In Person: Carroll Nonprofit Center, Westminster, MD

  • Virtual: Join live via Zoom
    Hybrid Format: Students may choose to attend either in person or online.

Weekly Schedule

4:00 – 5:00 PM: Homework Help
Students receive personalized support with math homework, guided by caring mentors and tutors who focus on understanding — not just getting the right answer.

5:00 – 6:00 PM: Math Lessons & Enrichment
Interactive, engaging lessons bring math to life through games, group challenges, and real-world applications. Scholars gain the confidence and critical thinking skills they need to succeed in and beyond the classroom.

2025/2026 Session Starts on October 23th with days off during major holidays

Strong math foundations build more than academic success , they build future innovators. Research from the U.S. Department of Education shows that early math proficiency is one of the best predictors of later success in school and the workforce. Students who develop confidence in math at a young age are:

  • 4x more likely to pursue advanced math courses in high school.

  • 3x more likely to express interest in STEM-related careers.

By investing in math skills now, we’re preparing the next generation of scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers, leaders who will shape the future.

Expanding the Vision

The EBI Math Club is just the beginning. As we secure additional funding and recruit more qualified instructors, we plan to expand the program to include additional grade levels — ensuring more students have access to high-quality math enrichment and academic support.

If you or your organization would like to support this important initiative, we welcome your partnership. Please contact us at [email protected] to learn how you can help us bring math mastery to more students.
