What ages is Mindset Math & STEM for?
Our curriculum is designed for students who are in grade 2 to grade 7. They will take an assessment and be placed in a class with other students who have the same levels of understanding. Students attend once a week for a 2-hour Math & STEM session.
Can I view a Mindset session to see if it is right for my child?
We would like for you to visit our school before you consider enrollment! However, any additional presence during class time would distract the students, so in-class observations are not permitted. Please set up an appointment and we can show you our school and answer your questions.
Is Mindset for students who are falling behind or wanting to advance in school?
Both! Our curriculum supplements the BC Math curriculum. We have designed our lessons to complement the students’ school learning, and build upon their skills, whether it is to catch up or to be challenged.
How many sessions will my child attend?
Each Mindset session is 2 hours, once a week. Our class takes place throughout the school year, from September to July. Also keep an eye out for special events and special programs during weekends and school breaks!
What is Singapore Math?
When Singapore changed its Math curriculum and language of instruction to English in the 1980s, the new curriculum was developed based on research from learning experts such as Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. They developed a way to explain the abstract concepts of Math by first connecting it to students concretely, then by including pictorials in their work. Their aim was to develop fluency with tools such as Number Bonds and the Bar Method. Mindset Math uses many of these techniques in addition to others to supplement our student’s Math education in elementary school.
What is Question Formulation Technique?
Developed by the Right Question Institute, it is a method that teaches students to formulate questions. In our STEM sessions, we ask all types of questions! Each student picks questions they’d like to answer – each student can have different focuses. From there, we develop projects and “answers” to these questions by planning, creating, engineering and building our STEM projects. In the end, each student has a different solution to a problem and we ask more questions for further inquiry.
What is the tuition?
Mindset Tuition is $90 per 2-hour session.
Mindset Math & STEM适合哪个年龄段的学生?
我们的课程是为二年级到七年级的学生设计的。学生将进行评估,并根据他们的理解水平被分配到相应的班级,与其他具有相同水平的学生一起学习。学生每周参加一次2小时的数学与STEM课程。
我可以参观Mindset课程,以了解它是否适合我的孩子吗?
我们欢迎您在考虑报名之前来访我们的学校!不过,由于在上课期间额外的人员可能会分散学生的注意力,因此我们不允许在课堂上观察。请预约时间,我们将带您参观学校,并回答您的问题。
Mindset适合学业落后还是希望在学校中进步的学生?
Mindset的课程适合这两类学生。我们的课程是对BC数学课程的补充,学生和学校的学习内容相辅相成。对于那些学业落后的学生,我们的课程可以帮助他们赶上学校的进度,通过额外的练习和个性化的支持来弥补他们的知识空白。对于那些希望在学校中进步或寻求更大挑战的学生,我们的课程则提供了更高层次的难题和更深入的知识,以激发他们的潜力和兴趣。无论学生的目标是补救不足还是追求更高的学术成就,我们都通过精心设计的课程来满足他们的需求,并在其现有技能的基础上进行进一步提升。
孩子会参加多少节课程?
学生每周参加一次2小时的数学与STEM课程。我们的课程贯穿整个学年,从9月开始到7月结束。此外,请留意周末和学校假期期间的特别活动和特别项目!
班级规模是多少?
在Mindset,我们力求每位老师最多负责6名学生。较小的班级规模能够让教师提供更多的个性化关注,同时也提高了学生的参与度和理解能力。
什么是新加坡数学?
新加坡数学源于1980年代,新加坡在改变其数学课程并将教学语言改为英语时,基于学习专家如杰罗姆·布鲁纳、让·皮亚杰和列夫·维果茨基的研究开发了新课程。这些专家研究了如何帮助学生更好地理解数学概念,他们的方法包括:
- 具体到抽象的教学:他们首先通过具体的实例和活动帮助学生理解数学概念,然后逐步引导学生理解更抽象的内容。
- 使用图示:他们在教学中引入了图示和视觉工具,例如条形图,来帮助学生更清晰地看到数学问题的结构和解决方案。
- 发展工具的熟练掌握:他们的目标是让学生熟练掌握各种数学工具,如数值关系(Number Bonds)和条形图方法,这些工具帮助学生解决数学问题并理解数学概念。
Mindset Math在课程中采用了许多新加坡数学的方法,并结合了其他教学技巧,以增强学生在小学阶段的数学教育。这些方法有助于学生从具体到抽象地理解数学,提高他们的数学能力和问题解决技巧。
什么是问题生成技术?
问题生成技术是由“正确问题研究所”开发的一种教学方法,宗旨在教会学生如何提出和优化问题。在我们的STEM课程中,这种技术发挥了重要作用。其具体实施步骤如下:
- 提出各种问题:在课堂上,我们鼓励学生提出不同类型的问题。通过这种方式,学生可以探索他们感兴趣的领域,并选择他们想要深入探讨的问题。
- 选择问题并设定重点:每位学生根据自己的兴趣选择一个或多个他们希望回答的问题。由于每个学生的关注点不同,他们会选择不同的问题,从而带来多样化的学习体验。
- 发展项目和解决方案:学生围绕他们选择的问题进行项目开发。这个过程包括规划、创造、工程设计和建造STEM项目。学生们通过实际操作来寻找问题的解决方案,并将他们的想法付诸实践。
- 提出更多问题:在项目完成后,每个学生都将拥有不同的解决方案。为了进一步探究和深化理解,我们会提出更多的问题,鼓励学生进行反思和讨论。
这种方法不仅帮助学生培养批判性思维和创造性解决问题的能力,还使他们在探索和实践中主动学习,提升了他们的参与感和学习效果。
学费是多少?
Mindset的学费为每节2小时课程90美元。
