AI Explorers + Math at Montclaire (Grades 4-5)

Service Description

AI is no longer a future skill. Intelligent systems are already shaping the apps children use, the devices they interact with, and the world they are inheriting. Understanding how AI processes, builds, learns, and interprets information is not just a technical skill - it is a foundational cognitive superpower. ThinkAI Academy gives students the vocabulary, judgment, and hands-on skills to understand AI as confident creators. Key Learning Domains: 1. Programming vs. AI Differentiate standard programming from probabilistic ML networks. 2. Train & Evaluate Train a model and connect accuracy to data quality and bias. 3. Prompt Logic Chain-of-thought cues and explicit persona frameworks. 4. Systems Thinking Map how algorithms shape recommendations and behavior. 5. Ethics & Bias Audit datasets, fairness parameters, and privacy considerations. 6. AI Prototype Pitch an original project with data-origin and ethical guardrails. Our Math enrichment program is designed to deepen students' understanding of mathematical concepts while making math exciting and relevant. Students tackle challenging problems, puzzles, and projects that stretch their thinking beyond standard curriculum. What they'll cover: • Number sense and operations • Geometry and spatial reasoning • Patterns, algebra readiness, and logic • Real-world math applications and word problems • Math puzzles, games, and competitions prep How we teach: • Hands-on and visual learning methods • Collaborative problem-solving in small groups Elementary grade students learn using Beast Academy/AOPS Books.
