Description

The Finnish method of teaching maths to young people has been given the accolade of frontrunner in the European Programme for International Student Development (PISA) report into the academic outcomes of European countries. Due to this, this new way of teaching children is gaining popularity in other nations.

What Does It Include?

The colourful, interactive and easy to engage with course content is tailored to appeal to children. Children will love the puzzles and games that draw on the practical mathematical situations that they come across in their day to day lives. This means learning is relatable to the real world rather than theoretical. In 321 math! 3B, the subjects included are Measurement, Fractions and Decimals, Multiplication with Large Numbers, Numbers up to 10 000 and Addition and Subtraction within 10 000.

How Does It Work?

All learning takes place online, meaning children can study at a time and in a place that suits them. This makes the course content a great solution for a children who need to improve their mathematical skillset either in an education setting or at home.
