Why Choose ConnectionMath?
How It Works
Method:
Fundamentals
In this top-down approach, students carefully study and reference the foundational principles/rules of a math concept and then work on applying them both individually and together through practice problems.
​
How We Apply It:
Tutors refer to the key rules of the given math concept and encourage students to write them down. As students work through practice problems tutors may remind students of the next rule to apply.
Examples
In this bottom-up approach, students study a variety of examples related to the concepts they're working on. They then work on replicating the examples and understanding the why of each step in the solution.
​
How We Apply It:
Method:
Tutors first work through several example problems as students follow along. Students then work through their own practice problems and when they encounter difficulties tutors will refer students to particular steps in the demonstration problems.
Questioning
In this approach, students reflect on problems by asking about known quantities, what they aim to find, relevant core principles, past similar problems, etc. This method leads to a deeper grasp of the problem and is often used in modern research.
How We Apply It:
Method:
As students work through practice problems and assess their progress, tutors will prompt them with relevant questions guiding the student to the solution. With practice, students will begin to ask themselves these questions toward the solutions.
