What grade levels are targeted by MindSET?
MindSET’s goal is to have the earliest exposure possible, starting in the elementary grades. Successful student progression in math and science, from the lowest to the highest grade levels, requires early intervention. Ultimately, it is best to have a program that can provide opportunities for students of all ages, but individual chapters may not have the resources to support a group that large. Therefore, Tau Beta Pi encourages chapters with limited resources to focus on grades 5 through 8. Students in this range have the ability to do quantitative math, but have flexible futures since they are still early in their academic careers. Tracking those students on to high school could be very productive. Alternatively, if a student is in 9th or 10th grade and still in pre-algebra, it will be difficult to assist that student to get caught-up, without some very intense interventions. The easiest age groups to recruit tend to be 3rd through 6th grades. The younger students present a unique ch
