Philosophy
Kids, from as potentially as young as 3 years old, can learn abstract mathematical concepts. The primary differentiation between my teaching method and traditional methods relies on this fact and then accelerates learning by teaching foundational math concepts and speeding kids to other math resources as quickly as possible.
The target audience for this curriculum is between the ages of 4-8, but depending on the child you can start as early as 3. I haven’t tried any earlier but I doubt it would work earlier than that.
Hence, we will teach kids fundamental concepts in simple, tactile, and very concrete ways (NOT focus on memorization and other traditional school nonsense) and then transition them as quickly as possible to:
