Math can be a tricky subject to master for some, but it can be a breeze with suitable learning methods. Read on to find out how Spark Math helped this family.
Understanding that Math can be challenging, Lucas wanted to ensure his son was able to grasp mathematical concepts whilst enjoying the learning process. He decided to enrol his son Legolas for classes at Spark Math, an online programme that uses highly interactive courseware and specialised teaching methods to help children master Math.
“We want Legolas to eventually be able to grasp the skills required to master challenging Math concepts, and we thought the immersive and interactive experience provided by Spark Math will help him appreciate the process a bit more,” Lucas shared. The flagship Math programme by Spark Education (formerly VISPARK) is known for delivering fun and engaging classes for kids ages 5five to 12. The programme uses a mix of live instruction by experienced teachers, as well as animated and gamified elements, to spark a love for learning amongst kids.
A Math programme that brings classes to life
As Legolas started his classes, Lucas noticed how enthusiastic and passionate Spark Math’s teachers were. “The teachers ensure they connect with students. I can also see that Legolas enjoys interacting with familiar faces in the virtual classroom. It helps keep him attentive during lesson time,” Lucas said.
Class sizes are deliberately kept small to offer kids a more personalised learning experience.
Most importantly, Spark Math’s curriculum is aligned with the local Ministry of Education syllabus, which is perfect for Legolas who’s attending Primary 1 in a local school. The programme uses the highly effective Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach to teaching. In parent-friendly terms, this means that Spark Math uses actual objects to teach kids mathematical concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The teaching of more complex concepts is also complemented by games, puzzles, stories, and more.
Spark Math does more than just train kids to master mathematical concepts
While Spark Math definitely aims to help children master Math skills required for their respective grade levels, Lucas notices that it achieves more than just that. He observed noticeable improvements in Legolas’ Math abilities, as he’s not just relying on memory work to understand Math concepts. What’s more encouraging to see is that Legolas is now more confident in tackling Math problems in school!
Lucas said, “Legolas is now able to understand timetable grouping and other Math concepts with ease. We can clearly see that Spark Math has helped him build confidence in tackling various Math concepts!”
Specially designed to help kids truly understand and love Math
When asked about his overall impression of Spark Math, Lucas said that he’ll definitely recommend this to other parents. “Whether or not your child is struggling with Math, we highly recommend Spark Math to parents who want their kids to find joy in learning Math,” he said.
The great news is that Spark Math offers free classes for families who are interested in trying it out! All you need to do is fill up the form with your contact details; a consultant will then get in touch with you to understand more about your child’s needs. On top of that, your child will just need to go through a simple assessment so Spark Math’s teachers can help provide learning recommendations to grow your child’s critical thinking abilities and Math skills.
