Common Challenges With Core Curriculum Math

  • Basic Arithmetic

    Mistakes in addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division can lead to problems in more complex mathematics. We reinforce these foundational skills with targeted exercises and real-life examples to enhance understanding.

  • Fractions and Decimals

    These concepts can be tough for students, especially when it comes to operations. We use visual aids and manipulatives to illustrate these concepts, making them easier to grasp.

  • Grasping Word Problems

    Many students struggle to translate word problems into mathematical operations. We teach strategies for understanding what is being asked and for deciding which operations to use.

  • Problem-Solving Skills

    Students often struggle with how to approach a problem and which strategies to use. We teach a variety of problem-solving techniques and guide students in choosing the right strategy for different types of problems.

  • Maintaining Concentration

    Long or complex math problems can test a student's focus. We help students build stamina and concentration through a structured and supportive learning environment.

  • Math Anxiety

    Many students face anxiety that can hinder their performance. We foster a positive learning atmosphere where mistakes are seen as learning opportunities, reducing stress and building confidence.
