Brixton Learning Academy Math program is individualized to meet the different learning needs of students. Through assessments, we determine mathematical skills students are struggling with and we build a unique math program that’s derived from students’ prior knowledge and focuses on helping students excel in their mathematics skills based on grade level.
Our math program is designed based on Ontario math curriculum and is delivered by Ontario certified teachers.
We have been influenced and inspired by Marian Small; the former dean of education at the university of New Brunswick. She has experience teaching students and other teachers for more than 35 years.
“Mathematic is best learned when students are actively engaged in constructing their own understanding. This is only likely to happen in settings that emphasize on rich problem solving and exchange of many approached to mathematical situations”
