Maths Tution Teacher in Singapore Believes in Conceptual Teaching

SINGAPORE - Jan. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Mathematics is not a subject which can be mastered by learning it by heart. Rather, it is a subject which needs a lot of conceptual understanding and practice. It is said that the tutor engaged is highly educated, skilled and professional, who believe in explaining the numbers and the concepts behind the numbers. They make the children play with the numbers making them realize that mathematics in not just numbers but it is about pattern too. The expert tutor at Simply Math religiously follows the Concrete – Pictorial – Abstract -CPA approach in his teachings and lesson plan. This pedagogy has been used by many Math professors in Singapore. It benefits the children to a great extent as it moves gradually from actual objects through pictures and then to symbols. This is an excellent and an efficient way of building concepts in the mind of a child.

As we all know that young children are drawn to objects that are colorful and interactive. The tutor makes full use of such instincts to push math-related games to them. When the child is engaged in playing the math games, for him it is just a game and not math, but on the hind sight, he is learning math - the numbers, calculations, patterns, etc. Parents sending their kids to Simply Math often say that their child is building concepts in his mind and now knows how to use the information learned.

An interest is aroused in the subject by using various easy to understand and comprehensive tools and as we know that every success builds confidence and plants a thought in the mind of the child that now he can do a particular thing which he could not do before, such a strategy is followed with the children which is often followed by a reward program.
