The Simply Math Method
Our Philos0phy
We believe that every child has the potential to do well in math, and it is our mission to unlock that potential. We believe that when children learn to recognize the ways in which numbers are embedded in our daily lives, a new relationship with math can emerge. We employ various strategies in order to remove the intimidation factor that so often acts as a barrier to success in math. We also ensure that the skills learned will yield results on assessments. We believe that by focusing on fundamental building blocks and process, we will give each student the necessary confidence to approach math in a productive and enjoyable way.
OUR APPROACH
We meet each student at their current skill level and then work to fill in the gaps with the goal of building a solid foundation in the fundamental core competencies of the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum. This strong foundation sets students up for success in their current grade level and helps them transition smoothly beyond. We also focus on working with each student’s strengths and interests, to build confidence, and focus on process to foster a growth mindset. This approach has proven successful time and time again.
WHAT SETS US APART
We love math and see numbers all around us in unique and creative ways. To be able to translate this to children and passing on our passion for math is our guiding passion. Our approach to identifying skill gaps will highlight what needs to be addressed in order to ensure a strong foundation in mathematical core concepts. Differentiated instruction for each student means that each session culminates in a successful end goal.
