Why Japanese Math?
Imagine getting from point A to point B in an unfamiliar city. You could take a cab and arrive without ever learning the route. You could piece together public transportation, figuring out the connections as you go. Or you could walk the whole way, exploring different paths and getting to know the area along the way. Learning math is the same.
Some students prefer the cab which gives them a direct answer, quickly. Others want the challenge of finding their own way, whether that means a little guidance along a public-transit route or independently investigating different paths to solve the puzzle themselves. Japanese Math lets each student choose the path that's right for them.
Evaluation and Placement
Levels are based on Japanese grades, which do not correspond directly to U.S. grade levels. Class placement is determined during an initial evaluation, and no commitment is required to take the assessment test.
Our program ensures that advanced students can continue to excel while also offering support to those who may be struggling, helping them keep pace. We believe that students build confidence when they see themselves progressing beyond their current class level.
