Free maths assessment

Thu, May 08, 2014

Learning maths is like climbing a stairs — you proceed one step at a time. If a step is broken or weak then it is difficult to advance any further. That is why it is vital that children learn the fundamental maths concepts and skills, especially the four operations — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Children who are not 100 per cent fluent in these four basic operations cannot proceed successfully onto fractions, decimals, and percentages and then further onto pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Like the stairs, we proceed from one step to the next and each step needs to be completely secure in order to ensure a successful journey.
