Math Shortfalls and the Opportunity to Act

Math Shortfalls and the Opportunity to Act

One of the top indicators of success in K-12 math is a student’s fluency in foundational problem-solving skills. Yep, you read that correctly! The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) found that the number of students with unmet learning needs in math - even before high school - is substantial. This statistic indicates that students lacking foundational skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division fluency are falling farther behind in math.

Soo… what does this mean and what can you do to support your child? 

Here at Mathnasium of Simi Hills, we see our foundations-heavy curriculum help students succeed on a daily basis! Not only does Mathnasium provide repetitive skills practice, we also teach students HOW to problem solve so they are better prepared when faced with more challenging concepts.
