Mind-Math Camp is specially designed to help primary-school children strengthen their cognitive or brain skills needed to succeed in Math.
Success in Math requires strong cognitive and thinking skills in the following areas:
1. Visual-Spatial Processing
Quantities are represented spatially in the brain, so the stronger a child’s visual-spatial processing, the easier to grasp and remember Math concepts
2. Sequential Thinking
Orderly step-by-step thinking is critical to allow a child to follow Math formulae or procedures successfully to solve problem
3. Strategic Thinking
The ability to recognize and apply the right strategies for different question types is a powerful metacognitive strategy that can help children develop deeper mathematical thinking and stronger confidence in Math
4. Fluency (Speed) in Math Facts
Rapid processing of basic Math facts forms a strong foundation for a child to build higher-order strategic thinking when solving Math problems
