The core skills taught in kindergarten through high school. These skills can
generally be divided into 3 groups:
I. Basic Concepts: Foundational material usually taught
in grades K-2. Understanding of these concepts is essential for future math
learning. Topics include: number recognition; counting; place value;
measurement; and geometry.
II. Operations: The rote section of mathematical
learning (i.e. mechanics and memorization). Here we present questions in a
variety of mathematical ways and challenge students to apply their
understanding of Basic Concepts. Topics include: addition; subtraction;
multiplication; and division.
III. Application: Problem solving. Here a student
learns to incorporate everything he/she knows about Basic Concepts and
Operations, in order to solve particular problems. Most problems are presented
in non-mathematical ways (e.g. text vs. numerical problems). Students learn to
apply mental computation skills and logic and reasoning to devise strategies to
solve problems. Some of the topics students will cover in our program are:
rate, ratio and proportion; area, perimeter and volume; fractions, decimals and
percent; integers, exponents and absolute values; algebra and linear equations;
and quadratic functions and trigonometry; just to name a few.
