We're in Kahoot! with Math

We're in Kahoot! with Math!

Our centers have partnered with Kahoot! to create some amazingly fun ways to learn math - and we invite your child to participate in our 12 Days of Christmas Challenge. It takes only about 5-10 minutes to complete the challenge.

Kahoot! Math Labs is a powerful and effective digital tool for teaching math to students of all ages. The method is based on three primary principles: storytelling, exploration, and math talks.

Through STORYTELLING, the students get introduced to an immersive math universe and the characters that the kids will love. The blend of math and storytelling creates emotional engagement and motivation in students.

Kids get to EXPLORE math in a completely new way. Kahoot! Math Labs makes abstract concepts concrete by presenting them in a visual and interactive format.

Kahoot! Math Labs, it’s easy to promote good, inclusive MATH TALKS to engage students in collaborative learning. By explaining their thinking and discussing solutions with their Mathnasium instructors, students learn common reasoning that heightens their understanding of math and improves their problem-solving skills.

Kahoot! is designed for specific grade-level challenges that can be done at home or at the center. Watch for a flyer with the QR Codes. These codes can be captured on a phone device and it will open the website link for the challenge. The QR codes are for grades K-7th, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry.

Success in Math. Success in Life.

Keeping Weekly Appointments

Families, we encourage you to keep your scheduled appointments each week. As a small business, we hire staff to cover our day-to-day needs of scheduled sessions. Most of our daily sessions are scheduled at instructor capacity, which creates challenges for makeups and staff time off. Keeping your scheduled appts guarantees your child their appt. In the rare instance that we cannot make adjustments if an instructor is off, we will coordinate a makeup session for you. If you cannot keep your scheduled session, please text your center manager or Jennifer Faulkner, and then complete our makeup request form if you desire a makeup session: https://forms.gle/vi7cJEfWDxPLset47

Stockings

Families, we will have stockings at each center for our in-center staff for the month of December. They work incredibly hard to help your students thrive in math, and perhaps you may like to recognize some of them with some goodies for the stocking (all will have the instructor's name). Please feel free to drop by as you wish during our hours of operation.
