These lessons are carefully sequenced and confidence building to ensure each learner will develop a strong understanding of math each step of the way. There is daily review to ensure your learner has the chance to fully master what has been taught in previous lessons. This class will combine a deep conceptual understanding with traditional skill practice for a complete kindergarten math education.
