Class Experience

In this ongoing course, learners will develop their maths skills. This course is part of a six year primary maths course that takes a problem-solving approach to teaching young learners the skills they need to become confident mathematicians.

Please note: This is for ESL Beginner A1+ Learners. If your learner is more advanced, please try this class on Helen and Friends: https://outschool.com/classes/lets-learn-math-mathematics-in-sports-5-7-years-Owt5pAKs?usid=MOFYujvR&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

This course contains a greater focus on the use of manipulatives in the classroom, pictorial and abstract representations to promote deeper learning, language support to help EAL students develop fluency in mathematical language.
