Why MathTree®?
In my business, over the course of a single week, I tutor students ranging in grade from 2 through 12 and in math level from addition through calculus. This puts me in a position to see, on a weekly basis, the daily struggles of students through a vast continuum of mathematical skills. When I teach a young child what a fraction means, I know that one day my explanation may help that child understand trigonometry. And when I assist a teenager trying to cope with implicit differentiation, I can tell that the student was never truly taught deeply about the number one.
For the past several summers, I have been running MathTree Math Camps. My students come from many different schools with a wide variety of skill levels. The students in any single camp also span an age range of three to four years. My challenge has been to find a way to meet widely varying needs without boring students who are ahead or leaving weaker students in the dust. I resolved the dilemma by developing MathTree.
The basic skills of math are like the roots of a tree. The deeper and wider the roots of a tree penetrate into the earth, the taller and stronger the tree can grow. The more basic skills and the more robust these skills are, the more a student has to draw on when approaching word problems and more advanced math.
Though not all students can be brilliant at math, many can be very competent. MathTree enables children to become much more competent in a very efficient manner.
