Mathematics Secrets – What, How, Why?
— 2 minut
Extended mathematics “Math 2.0” is our proprietary innovative program of advanced mathematical education, implemented from nursery, through kindergarten, to primary school.
Mathematics, the “queen of sciences”
Mathematics, one of the oldest fields of science, has rightfully earned the prestigious title of “queen.” It is much more than just knowledge of numbers and geometric shapes. Mathematics teaches reasoning and logical thinking. And these skills are crucial for delving into other fields of knowledge: geography, physics, and even humanities subjects. What is a characteristic of an outstanding lawyer? More than knowledge of codes, the ability to draw conclusions and logically interpret facts matters. Yes, mathematics will certainly not harm future lawyers!
Mathematics teaches systematicity
It is a specific field of knowledge that has its levels of initiation. Information derives from one another, advanced knowledge is a continuation of basic knowledge. Learning mathematics itself enhances the process of learning other subjects. It shows students that systematicity pays off.
Mathematics teaches perseverance
To solve a task, you often need to approach it multiple times. You have to try different methods, “experiment,” transform formulas, and perform additional calculations to finally get the correct result. Mathematics thus teaches patience and shows that shortcuts don’t always lead to the right solution.
Mathematics and Imagination
Mathematics, and specifically geometry, develops spatial imagination. From there, it’s just one step to architecture or design. The phrase “the queen of sciences” is undoubtedly not an empty slogan. Therefore, at Academy International schools, we make every effort to help each of our students discover and develop their mathematical abilities.
The Joy of Practicing
Mathematics should not be treated as “art for art’s sake,” as unfortunately sometimes happens. Implementing the original “Extended Mathematics Math 2.0” program in each class, we strive to engage students through action and develop their internal motivation. We show them how they can use their skills in everyday life. Simple transfers from theory to practice often ignite students’ passion for learning; they begin to understand why they study and how the knowledge gained in school translates into real-life situations.
Price, Quantity, Value
An Academy International student won’t be surprised at the checkout counter, as they can easily calculate shopping expenses. They don’t ask: when? how much? Because clock and calendar calculations hold no secrets for them either. They gladly accept the challenge of a board game, applying their advanced mathematical knowledge!
