KINETIC MATH: YOUR MATH HOMEWORK PARTNER

Are you having a difficult time helping your child in his or her Math homework?

Does your child find his math lesson more confusing after teaching him a “short-cut”?

Does your child give you a “…but teacher said…” or “That is not what teacher said in class,” statement when you help him with a math problem?

 

If your answer to the questions above is YES, you are not alone. Many parents get frustrated when guiding their children in their Math homework. This may be attributed to the changes in the Math curriculum these days. Gone were the days when a person is considered a Math whiz if he can calculate big numbers mentally in a few seconds. Since the calculator, computer or even the mobile phone can do the calculation for us, Math these days is now more focused in honing the child’s thinking and problem solving skills. Thus, the objective and content of the Math homework has changed from procedural to conceptual understanding of the lesson.

Aside from the Math Tutorial Program, Kinetic Math also offers Math Exam Review Program, Singapore Math Program,  Saxon Math Program,  Bellwork Program,  Mental Math Program,  Preschool Math Program,  Math Summer Programs,  and the Traditional Math to Singapore Math Transition Program.

To know which program is best for your child, you may visit or call the Kinetic Math center near you:

KINETIC MATH’S TRADITIONAL MATH TO SINGAPORE MATH TRANSITION PROGRAM

As Singapore continues to impress the world in their performance in Math in competitions and high-stake tests, more and more schools all over the world have adapted the Singapore Math in their curriculum. In the Philippines, hundreds of schools like Ateneo de Manila Grade School, Xavier School, Immaculate Concepcion Academy (ICA), KEYS Grade School, MGC New Life Christian Academy, Victory Christian International School, and Meridian International Learning Experience have already shifted from the traditional Math curriculum to that of Singapore.

The curricular shift, however, requires comprehensive training for teachers, as the curriculum transforms from abstract to a more visual, and concrete approach. It likewise puts more emphasis on honing the child’s critical and problem solving skills.

Students, on the other hand, must unlearn some habits or methods. They must likewise learn new ways to understand Math concepts, and new strategies to solve Math problems as they shift to Singapore Math method. Needless to say, some students find it difficult to adjust to the demands of the new curriculum.

To address this concern, Kinetic Math Enrichment Center is now offering the TRADITIONAL MATH TO SINGAPORE MATH TRANSITION PROGRAM. This program aims to help the child bridge the gap between the math skills that he/she has learned in traditional math and the required math skills for his/her grade level in Singapore or in a school offering the Singapore Math curriculum. This course will equip the students with an in-depth understanding of the mathematical concepts and with varied tools for solving complex multi-step word problems, the core of the Singapore Math curriculum.

This program is for:

* Students who started with traditional math and is now enrolled in a school using the Singapore Math method

* Students who are transferring to a school using the Singapore Math curriculum

* Students who are moving to Singapore

* Students who will take the entrance test in a school using the Singapore Math curriculum

 

To enroll your child in the program, you may visit or call the Kinetic Math near you.

Great Online Resources for Math Worksheets

As mentioned in the previous blog on How to Help Your Children Succeed in Math, one way to help kids do well in Math is to provide them with additional drills at home. However, many parents do not have time to create worksheets. Thus, it is just awesome that there are many online resources providing worksheets (sometimes with answer keys) that can help children to achieve mastery in their Math lessons. Below are just some of the great websites that parents may use to develop their children’s mathematical skills.

http://www.math-aids.com/

https://www.math-drills.com/

http://themathworksheetsite.com/

http://www.kidzone.ws/math/

http://www.softschools.com/math/worksheets/

http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/math/

http://www.mathinenglish.com/

 

Parents, however, must remember the following when using the worksheets for their children:

  1. Make sure that the worksheets are appropriate to the grade level of your children.

 

  1. Be clear with the objectives of the current lesson of your children and ensure that the worksheets are aligned with these objectives.

 

  1. Check the worksheets first before letting your children answer them. That way, you can correct typographical errors and remove inappropriate items (for the grade level or for the lesson).

 

  1. Check the answer keys (if there are) because sometimes the provided answer keys have incorrect answers too.

 

  1. When children commit mistakes, discuss and explain the item. Then, give a similar item and see if they can already apply what you have discussed in solving the new item.

 

If your children need more help in understanding the lesson, you may opt to seek help from math mentors who can provide a thorough discussion of the lesson. Math experts can also assess your children and spot the core skills that the child must learn in order to equip them in understanding the current lessons. You may visit the Kinetic Math center near you to inquire about the programs that can benefit your children.

SINGAPORE MATH IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Singapore Math curriculum has created a name worldwide in producing students who are brilliant in Math. Many schools and educators around the world were awed by how the math curriculum of Singapore help their students to consistently land on one of the top ranks, if not the topmost rank,  of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). TIMSS is a large-scale assessment taken by Grade 4 and Grade 8 students of participating countries to provide internationally comparative data about students’ achievement in Math and Science. These data inspired many schools all over the world to use the Singapore Math curriculum.

In the Philippines, many schools have adapted Singapore Math in their curriculum like Ateneo de Manila Grade School, Xavier School, Immaculate Concepcion Academy (ICA), KEYS Grade School, MGC New Life Christian Academy, Victory Christian International School, and Meridian International Learning Experience. Some students who study in schools which use the traditional math, on the other hand, go to after-school centers offering Singapore Math like the Kinetic Math Enrichment Center  in BGC, in Katipunan and in San Juan. Kinetic Math’s Singapore Math program uses energizing and engaging learning activities which help students develop numerical fluency, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving skills while enjoying math.

The Singapore Math program of Kinetic Math helps students develop not only their critical, creative and problem solving skills but also their positive attitude about math. It teaches students in stages, beginning with the concrete (using manipulatives), then moving to the pictorial (solving problems with pictures) and finally working in the abstract (numbers). It makes children learn not just the “how’s” but also the “why’s” of mathematics which strengthens the pupils’ conceptual understanding.
