Miki Maths Louis Trichardt MIKI’S FAQs Do you follow the school curriculum? Miki Maths follows the broad curriculum for each grade and differentiates within this framework according to children’s own abilities. We do not offer X-tra Maths classes in the traditional sense but will help children with work that they battle with in class on occasion. We concentrate on the most important and difficult concepts in each grade and develop good understanding of these concepts. We have done a thorough study of the new CAPS curriculum and therefore the work that we do in our lessons should help children with their work in class. Is Miki Maths just for children that battle with Maths? Our aim is to provide all children with activities that will strengthen their mathematical ability. We have many children of different abilities in all of our classes and we find this mix works very well. Many children are quite fluent with writing answers but battle to explain how they have done something or how to maybe use a different strategy About the difference between Miki Maths and other Maths programs. Do children get an individual lesson? We believe that a guided lesson with lots of interaction is a very effective way of learning. It is important that children get given opportunities to express their thinking in the context of a small group where they feel safe. Do you work on computers? Miki Maths makes use of concrete apparatus to help develop understanding of important concepts. We therefore do not work on computers during lessons. Do children get homework? We don’t give daily homework. Although drill is important it is always better to drill a concept or strategy that has been understood. The worksheet that we do has the purpose of developing strategies and is not intended to provide drill only. Children often receive homework from school, which together with the Miki Maths lesson provides ample opportunity for development of concepts. Do you only offer classes at schools? Although most of our lessons are delivered at schools we are starting to develop centers to accommodate children that are not able to attend lessons at schools.
