Math Curriculum

Classes at Math Monkey

It is not easy teaching children math and getting them to develop an interest in the subject. To motivate a child, we need to present whatever we have to offer attractively and more efficiently, and that is exactly what Math Monkey has achieved through its carefully constructed curriculum.

It’s All Fun and Games!

Math Monkey is a place where your kid hone her mathematical skills and yet having fun through the engagement of games and activities that we organised. Math Monkey considers the fact that children can best experience learning through fun. That is why all the classes held at Math Monkey infuse fun and games to teach kids mathematics, using Vedic Math as a base.

According to Professor Kenneth Williams, an educationalist consultant for Math Monkey with a background of more than 40 years of experience in teaching Vedic Math, children should not have to use a calculator, pencil or paper for performing mathematical calculations that they can do mentally.

The Curriculum

So, what makes Math Monkey unique is the new way we teach mathematics to children? There are three essential elements involved in the teaching programs at Math Monkey:

(1) Games in Classes at Math Monkey

Great detail is given towards play at Math Monkey. Games are specifically designed to teach math in such a way that they cover all aspects of intellectual and emotional development.

(2) Honing Mental Abilities

The mind is something that needs to be regularly engaged, especially in the case of younger aged children – this is another focus at Math Monkey. Children improve their mental math ability by sharpening their concentration and memory skills through the various activities that we have for the kids.

(3) Ability-Based Teaching

The mind is something that needs to be regularly engaged, especially in the case of younger aged children – this is another focus at Math Monkey. Children improve their mental math ability by sharpening their concentration and memory skills through the various activities that we have for the kids.

Teaching Methodology at Math Monkey

The logic applied to teaching at Math Monkey rests on the fact that the type of traditional learning taught in schools tend to inhibit the brain’s function of natural knowledge, due to negative factors like worrying about getting fewer marks and feeling stressed out. This feeling creates a dread for school in children.

On the other hand, Math Monkey applies the ‘play to learn’ principle to the curriculum that make kids associate numbers with fun rather than work. This association nurtures the brain’s natural learning capacity, which goes through the following stages:

Z

Curiosity

An unknown situation or object generates curiosity

Z

Explore

This motivates the child to explore the unknown

Z

Test

The child puts these unknown factors to various tests

Z

Repeat

On achieving desirable results, the child is encouraged to repeat the method to solve a problem

Z

Master

Repetition results in mastering a concept or skill

Games at Math Monkey
