Secondary School Maths Programme

In Mathnasium’s secondary school programme, students master computation and problem solving with rational numbers, i.e., fractions, decimals, and percentages, as part of the process of algebra readiness—preparing for first-year algebra. This creates a solid mathematical foundation for future subjects such as geometry, trigonometry, and calculus.

Our Approach

Secondary school students engage one to one with our instructors in a unique combination of mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written exercises. Basic maths concepts and skills are blended with a programme specifically designed to help students build number sense. This special programme shows them how and why the useful number rules they’re learning work so they are able to understand how they can be applied to interesting areas such as computer science, biology, and psychology.

Students are evaluated with a written and verbal assessment unique to Mathnasium. Based on the results, we develop a custom-tailored programme designed to close any educational gaps they may have so they can jump ahead when they’re ready for advanced maths challenges.

Secondary school maths builds upon elementary maths’ foundation and focuses on explaining why mathematical rules work so that children learn and understand the rules, not just memorise them.

We also help students understand their homework as part of each session and prepare them for school tests, as well as standardised tests such as school entrance exams.

Helping students catch up in Secondary School Maths

Many students start secondary school with gaps in their mathematical foundation. At Mathnasium, our experienced instructors work with students to fill in those gaps while still addressing their current needs.

Helping students keep up and get ahead in Secondary School Maths

Secondary school maths is often when students see a split in classes, with some students starting algebra and other more advanced concepts. At Mathnasium, our experienced instructors work with secondary school children to help them forge ahead in maths classes. Students are given a “preview” of maths concepts and lessons that they will encounter in future classes to help prepare them for sixth-form, university, and beyond.
