The Mathematics Program in the Sderot Community Club, under the leadership of Irina Khavinson of the Russian School of Mathematics, has grown. There are now four math groups. Khavinson explains that the main goal of the mathematics program is to teach the children to love math and to see how interesting it is. A good sign of the program's success is that not one of the participating children has dropped out. A new feature that the Mathematics Program hopes to introduce is a homework help program. A few older boys, who had excelled in math during the RJCF winter camp, will volunteer with homework help. Khavinson said that she thinks this a great new initiative, which will benefit both the younger children, as well as the tutors.
