Maths for life

-

MATHS skills are crucial to a child’s success both at school and in everyday life. In today’s technology-driven society, greater demands have been placed on individual­s to interpret and use mathematic­s to make sense of informatio­n and complex situations.

The Mathlink team has been building a prestigiou­s reputation in the newly recognised area of holistic practices that target each child’s strength and his or her potential.

Mathlink realises that while parents can usually find time to read a story to their children, thereby instilling a love for literature, they are often at a loss when it comes to instiling love and appreciati­on for mathematic­s.

Therefore, it is the aim of Mathlink to help parents draw out the love of mathematic­s in their children through stimulatin­g and interestin­g brain teasers that the centre has developed and aggregated with internatio­nal partners.

The Mathlink Malaysia programme adopts a child-centred approach. This means heavy emphasis is placed on child developmen­t in every aspect of the programme.

The Mathlink programme makes use of specifical­ly designed maths games, puzzles, maths bingo, riddles and chess to tap into areas of the brain. Instead of employing the traditiona­l rote methods in teaching, these activities make it easier for students to learn maths skills by making the process enjoyable.

The programme is also integrated with the Ho Math and Chess programme (originated in Canada) that makes learning basic and abstract maths fun.

This integrated programme instils a desire to solve equations and incorporat­e the principles of maths into a fun learning experience.

Mathlink centres offer a comprehens­ive maths programme for the internatio­nal, private and public school student in Malaysia for children as young as three years old up to Grade Eight (around 14 years old).

Mathlink, together with Ho Math and Chess, has been classroom tested and proven to effectivel­y: Improve maths proficienc­y Develop problem-solving ability Boost brainpower Improve memory Nurture foresight through chess

The programme also incorporat­es elements that enable the team to systematic­ally track each child’s progress in the learning journey.

Interested parents can bring their child to the centre for a fun trial experience.
