Each student at REM+ Tuition in year 2 works with a maths tutor in a program designed to build:
- confidence in themselves as mathematicians
- self-belief and an ability to trust their judgement
- a change in attitude, from maths ‘haters’ to maths ‘lovers’
We achieve this by teaching students the following skills:
- adding and subtracting numbers up to 999
- carrying and borrowing both vertically and horizontally
- short multiplication, with carrying
- sharing (an introduction to division)
- introduction to number terms, such as more, less, increase, etc.
- terms such as doubling and squaring
- problem solving with money and basic number processes
- writing numerals as words, and converting words into numerals
- fractions (adding and subtracting like items)
