Kinetic Math’s Mental Math Masters Program

How many Php50 bills make Php3000?

What is half of 890?

What is the sum of 392 and 799?

 

Can your child answer these questions without using the calculator or paper and pen? In order to do so, one needs to know mental math strategies. Mental computation is a process that require the manipulation of numbers in one’s head.

In this modern world of tablets, laptops, and smartphones, it is still important to equip children with mental computation skills because these can be used in daily life such as in budgeting, in purchasing things and in measuring objects. In addition, mental computation also facilitates learning many structural topics such as percentage and properties of real numbers. Finally, strong mental calculation skills boost the child’s confidence in his mathematical skills.

If you wish to make your child develop these skills, you may enrol him at the Kinetic Math Enrichment Center’s Mental Math Masters Program. This is one of Kinetic Math’s summer programs. This program aims to teach children aged 6 years old and above PROVEN strategies to compute mentally with accuracy and speed. This will empower the students to calculate mathematically in their heads without using paper and pencil. In this course, children will develop the fluency flexibility and strategic thinking in mental computation by addressing the following:

 

  1. WHAT: Children will learn the basic number facts and other math concepts.
  2. WHEN: Students will have the ability to recognize the demands of a problem and choose the best strategy to solve it.
  3. WHY: Each strategy is anchored to math concepts, making it easier for students to understand why a procedure works.
  4. HOW: Various mental math strategies in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will be discussed systematically and thoroughly in the course.

Kinetic Math’s Integers and Algebra Summer Course

Why do many high school students fail or get low grades in Math?

Why do some students have difficulty answering entrance test questions in Math?

 

One of the many culprits for the above-mentioned difficulties is the poor basic foundational knowledge and skills in algebra and integers. Understanding algebra and integers are necessary to solve equations.

Algebra is a branch of Mathematics that uses numbers and letters that represent numbers. Algebra strengthens logic skills and introduces abstract thinking. In algebra, students must understand that symbols such as x and y stand for numbers that vary and that these symbols can be used in solving real-life and mathematical problems.

In integers, on the other hand, students deal with zero, positive and negative whole numbers. It is very important to learn this because we use integers in our daily lives- weather, finances, sports, geography and science. Since performing operations on integers involve signs of the numbers and signs of operations, some students struggle in remembering the rules and procedure for certain problems or equations.

This summer, Kinetic Math Enrichment Center will offer the Integers and Algebra Summer Course. Integers & Algebra Summer Course aims to help students transition from the visual model method to the abstract concepts of integers and algebra. In this course, students will learn about integers and build on the knowledge to develop skills in algebra. This will train the students to think and reason logically, orderly and abstractly.
