  Learning Center.

  meet individual needs and improve math skills
• At the beginning of the summer program, students
  were assessed and then instruction was targeted
  at specific needs.
• Computer programs, math manipulatives, and
  large- and small-group instruction were used to
  help meet the needs of these middle school
  students.
