How Mathnasium Helps with Homework
by
Chloe, Instructor
Why is mathematics important? Math is used every day in life and the effectiveness of knowing basic everyday math skills is not only practical, but plays a pivotal role in an individual's day to day activities. As students consistently work on their homework, they develop more skills and expand their knowledge. Incorporating math daily can help students apply the following important concepts and skills in their life: strategies of web development and technological advances, exploring out of the box thinking, expanding real life problem solving skills, specializations, and careers demanding mathematical expertise.
Math homework is not only important to see how a student has mastered the class material, but to improve each student's memory by incorporating material outside of the classroom. As homework becomes more of a routine, it helps students stay more organized and on top of getting their work done and being held responsible for it independently. Homework also helps students since they retain and boost their skills and understanding in different concepts, they will become smarter and they are more likely to get better grades because of questions asked when they can work independently on checking their progress.
Students often get frustrated when they aren’t getting their work done because they don’t understand the material given to them. Some students also don’t understand when they feel as if their teacher didn’t help them enough to give them a good understanding on how they want them to complete their work.
Many students at Mathnasium have expressed their struggles and that they do not know where to start on their homework. At Mathnasium, instructors are ready to help students and help them where they are struggling in their homework. In this way, when students bring their homework to Mathnasium and are struggling, instructors who are trained and have worked through the same concepts before know how to guide students through the difficulties they are facing. By meeting students where they are at, they will have more time for one on one instruction and can express the areas in which they are struggling. This allows students to vocalize the most efficient way that can help them learn homework in the way that makes the most sense for them.
When students begin to understand their homework by instruction for deeper understanding at Mathnasium, it helps them understand the math concepts better as well as developing more skills not only in math, but in their everyday life.
