Approach

Number Sense is a practical skill that we cover to help us solve problems with speed and accuracy.  The philosophy is that we should all be able to solve problems in our head without the help of a pencil, paper or calculator. For more, see Why Number Sense Matters?

Problem Solving is our focus and our goal is to share with children the joy and thrill of meeting challenges and further develop an enthusiasm and love for Mathematics.  We provide a supportive environment and engaging problems for the child to solve.  We focus on problems from Mathematical Olympiads and also cover problems from Mathleague.ORG and Mathleague.COM.  Included are fun, collaborative, out-of-the-box problems.

Mini-Lessons cover shortcuts, techniques and problem solving approaches.
