What's included
117 live meetings
87 hrs 45 mins in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. Homework in Math Masters is designed to provide learners with optional, self-paced opportunities to reinforce and extend their understanding of the concepts covered in class. Rather than assigning traditional homework, I will provide supplemental learning materials, such as practice exercises, online resources, and interactive games, which learners can explore at their own pace. These resources will be carefully curated to align with the topics discussed in class and will serve as valuable tools for independent practice. The self-correcting nature of these materials will allow learners to gauge their progress and identify areas that may require additional attention. While homework is optional, engaging with these resources outside of class can provide learners with valuable opportunities for further exploration and mastery of mathematical concepts.Assessment
Assessment in Math Masters takes on a multifaceted approach to provide learners with comprehensive feedback and keep parents informed of their child's progress. Throughout the course, learners will engage in a variety of activities that will be assessed on the spot, allowing for immediate feedback and reinforcement of learning. These assessments will take different forms, including quizzes, interactive exercises, group discussions, and problem-solving challenges. Learners will also receive biweekly written reports that highlight their achievements, areas of growth, and suggestions for further improvement. These reports will serve as valuable communication tools between learners, parents, and myself, ensuring everyone is kept up-to-date on progress. Rest assured that a supportive and encouraging learning environment will be fostered, where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth, and feedback is provided constructively to nurture each learner's mathematical journey.Class Experience
