What is the Curriculum?
Vedic math exemplifies the very understanding of mathematics that has launched India into the global marketplace. Simply put, Vedic math is an approach to mathematics that allows children to perform calculations mentally with great accuracy, simplicity and speed.
Cutting-edge instructional design based on the most progressive brain research ensures that Math Monkey’s curriculum gives kids the “mind-tools” they need to succeed. Our game-based program combines the beauty and wisdom of Vedic math with an environment that encourages children to question, organize, interpret, develop insight, analyze, synthesize and self-evaluate. This approach to educating empowers learners with skills that are transferable to the process of real life problem solving.
Will the Curriculum complement what my child is learning in school?
Absolutely! Math Monkey is an accelerated program for highly motivated learners. In the interest of forging the next generation of leaders, we have designed the program to meet a global standard of learning. The curriculum has been created using the world’s most challenging benchmarks to form disciplined learning habits that last a lifetime.
Who will be teaching my child?
One lead instructor and one assistant instructor guide each Math Monkey class. The lead instructor and the assistant instructor have both been trained and certified by Math Monkey to guide our unique and enlightened approach to math learning.
My child has an advanced understanding of math; how will Vedic math help him/her?
Vedic math is tremendously beneficial for advanced young people who want an edge in competitive testing and is ideal for all children.
Vedic math teaches children how to think about math by using language rather than symbols. For example, children are asked to think about math in terms of "one more than the one before," "all from 9 and the last from 10," and "crosswise and vertically." This proven system allows a more open-ended approach to solving problems, thus giving children the ability to apply various techniques to the same problem. This gives them the confidence and skills necessary to excel inside the classroom and beyond.
How do I know which "Troop" my child should start in?
Prior to enrollment you and your child will participate in a pre-enrollment interview and assessment that will help us determine the best starting place for them. The interview consists of a short series of skill assessments and a few simple verbal questions. The interview will be conducted by one of our skilled teachers or the Center Director. We value the importance of appropriately and effectively challenging children, and therefore never charge a fee for the pre-enrollment assessment.
How much do classes cost?
Monthly tuition at Math Monkey of Henderson is $159.00. Prices vary by location around the country as each Knowledge Center is independently owned and operated.
