Running from July 28 to August 1 at the Math Plus Tutors Learning Centre on Mitton Street, the camp features two groups: Camp Alpha for Grades 1–3, and Camp Gamma for Grades 4–6. The full-day program (9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) blends hands-on math activities with outdoor play, games, and problem-solving challenges.” Read the full article here

As we approach our 10 years’ anniversary, we wanted to hear what our students, families, and learning instructors had to say about MPT!

“Katrina Raes still remembers her first Kumon session like it was yesterday. “When I received the question sheet, I started using my fingers to count, and someone came up to me and said that I wasn’t allowed to use my fingers.”

Here are a few tips and tricks to help your grade k-8 students to study math in an easy way. If you like the content you may want to share it with your friends and family.

1) How to multiply any number with 5

If you have an even number which has to be multiplied by 5*, go ahead, take the half of the even number and add a 0 to its side, we have the answer! For example: if its 5*8 , take the half of 8 , which is 4. And then add a 0 which is 40. Yes!!! 5*8= 40

What if it’s an odd number? No worries, we got you covered! For odd numbers, deduct a 1 from the odd number, take the half of it and add a 5 to the side. For example: if its 5*9, deduct a 1 , which is 8 , take half of it , which is 4 , add a 5 which makes it 45..you have got the answer 5*9 = 45

2) Easy multiplications with numbers that end with a “0”
Do you find it tough to add numbers that have way too many 0s in it? There’s an easy way to do it. Multiply your number, collect your 0s, and put them in the end. For example: 1,000 * 7,000
7*1 = 7, now collect your 0s that is total 8 zeros and we’ve got the answer 1,000*7,000 = 7,000,000.

3) Practice your math well

Every subject needs practice; math also needs practice from your part. Practice math solutions from your textbook as well as take in problems from the internet too. This will give you a clear idea of what types of math problems you can expect in this specific topic and you don’t have to get worried when a new type of question appears on the exam.

4) Adding up large sums

It is a headache when you try to add up large numbers! No stress!
Take the numbers, round it up, and add it. Then take the numbers that we rounded , add it up and subtract from the original amount. We have got the answer!
For example: Adding (744 + 367). Round it up which makes it (750+370 = 1120), take the numbers that we rounded up (750 – 744 = 6, 370- 367= 3)
Now add (6 + 3 = 9 ), subtract the (9) from the rounded sum (1120 – 9 = 1111)
Therefore (744+ 367 = 1,111)

5) Focus is the key

Nothing is more difficult than concentrating in a math class, we all get it. Try your level best to put concentration in your math class, so that you don’t miss out on any problems done in the class. Also along with concentrating, find your own creative ways of learning math, which will make learning math more interesting!

Stay tuned for more learning tips and tricks!

Preparing for exams could be stressful especially in the final days of a semester. Searching through many tips on how to prepare for the upcoming exams, we came across an excellent article from the Simon Fraser University.  We especially like the strategy that targets how to avoid/deal with exam anxiety and will be sharing it here.

To minimize exam anxiety try to practice as if you are in the exam room. Here’s how to do that:

• Try to  create the same conditions of the exam-writing situation as much as possible
• Solve prior tests and quizzes then check the right answers, and make mental notes on where you made mistakes
• Find or make-up practice questions that are of the type that will be on the exam
• Put your books away (unless it is an open book exam)
• Work under similar time conditions while you complete the practice questions.
• You may even want to visit the examination room to get comfortable in the space.

Here are a few ways you can find or create practice questions:

• Answer chapter review questions in your textbook
• Turn the headings in your readings and class notes into questions
• Use questions from the textbook study guide or your class notes
• Participate in a study group and ask each other questions based on the material
• Make flashcards with a question on one side and the answer on the other, then quiz yourself
• Write outlines for any sample essay questions provided by the professor
• Make “Cornell notes”: Draw a line down your page about one-third of the way from the left edge; write questions in the left column of your page; write the answers to your questions directly across in the right column; cover up the answers and quiz yourself.

For the full article click here. We hope that you will find these strategies, and tips helpful. We wish you the best of luck with your exams!

To get the most out of your study time we suggest that you:

Customize Your Notes

Note-taking is an excellent studying method for high school and university students. It helps to retain information in an organized way. Here are a few tips to make your notes look amazing:

• Read your textbook or lecture notes
• Summarize the important information you find
• Write what you gather from the read text in your own words
• Make sure to include visuals when needed
• Engage with the materials by answering questions
• Choose between typing and writing according to your preference

Realize that asking for help can be hard

People in general, and students in particular shy away from asking for help. They fear that their peers, and teachers will look at it as a weakness. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. Asking for help when needed is actually a STRENGTH.
Asking for help from a tutor is the next best thing to asking your teacher in your class. On one hand, a tutor is a qualified person to answer your questions, and reteach you the missed lessons. On the other hand, you don’t need to worry about peer pressure.

Make a Plan

• Take notes during class, and ask any relevant questions. Remember, there is no stupid question!
• Practice on your new learned materials at home and review old material. Don’t procrastinate!
• Check your understanding by answering questions after finishing off a chapter or a unit
• Get organized, and stay on top of your assignments, tests, and due dates
• Stay positive about your learning experience. Remember all hard labour must bear its fruits!
