HILLSBOROUGH REC x GROWING IQ
Hands-on Critical Thinking Program that Build
Confident Young Thinkers.
Engaging math enrichment classes for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade that build number sense, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through hands on learning, movement, and discovery.
The Growing IQ Approach
Build Strong Foundations
We build number sense, patterns, spatial reasoning, early algebraic thinking, and more.
Think Critically
Students compare strategies, solve problems, and explain their thinking.
Hands-on Learning
Manipulatives, games, movement, visual models, and real-world exploration bring math to life.
Communicate Math
Students learn to explain their ideas, listen to others, and build confidence.
Grow with Confidence
We adjust instruction to each child's ability so they are challenged and supported.
About Growing IQ
Growing IQ helps children understand how math works - not just how to get answers. Our in-house curriculum uses exploration, guided discovery and meaningful problem solving to help students become confident thinkers and capable learners.
We believe every child can do math. Our goal is to help them think
critically, communicate clearly, and approach new challenges with
curiosity and confidence.

How we teach our students
We use a hands-on, step-by-step approach that helps children explore,
make connections, and build understanding.
Students investigate and discover concepts through play and exploration.
Teachers ask questions that promote reasoning and communication.
Students use manipulatives, visual models, and games to learn.
We focus on the thinking process, not just the answer.
Students are encouraged to explain, compare, and justify their thinking.
