Information for Students and Families

Has your child been personally invited to participate in a MOST or High Dosage Tutoring (HDT) program? Then their teacher is thinking about providing extra math learning support for them in a way that is fun for kids.

Why should I consider having my child participate?
  • Participation is FREE!
  • It’s after school (it won’t disrupt their regular school day)
  • Fun, game-based learning
  • Targeted math support in a small group setting (limited to 8 students)
  • Helps kids grow from what they already know
  • Tutors are certified teachers with additional professional learning on how to support students who need extra help in math

MOST/HDT helps children make sense of mathematics for themselves.

Instead of thinking “what’s the answer” to a math problem, they start saying things like “this is how I figured it out” or “this is why it makes sense to me”. When children understand math, doors to opportunity open for them (Ted Talk: 5 ways to share math with kids). This program opens doors for kids.

 Graph showing that 86% of students showed increased number proficiency after 15 weeks of tutoring 

 

What do kids think about the program?

Supporting Math Learning at Home

"If you want to know how to nurture the mathematical instincts of your children, play is the answer. What books are to reading, play is to mathematics. A home filled with blocks, puzzles, games and play, is a home where mathematical thinking can flourish." -Dan Finkel
