I am always quick to point out that we serve students of all abilities at Mathnasium of La Jolla. We have just as many mathletes who attend for enrichment as who attend to improve their performance. Math is unique in that mastery at one level is highly dependent upon prior success. One skill directly relates to the next, more advanced concept. Once that foundation starts to crumble, acting quickly is crucial.
Elementary schools focus on foundational skills and problem solving strategies, middle school relies on efficient use of those skills and their application to more complex material and problem solving, and high school courses require the convergence of all prior math skills while exploring specific areas of mathematics that lead to career dreams. Successful students who earn their way into accelerated math programs sometimes struggle with the pace - the density of math packed into a day or semester is huge. Sustaining the pace is essential and sometimes a little extra attention is all it takes.
Six Signs a Student May be Struggling in Math:
If your student shows these signs, take action sooner not later.
