Accepted Answer

Our Mathematical thinking course uses mathematical knowledge as a medium to help children develop their intellectual skills with mathematical thinking at its core. The course integrates mathematical knowledge (number and operation, geometry and measurements, data and relationships, mathematical applications) and mathematical thinking skill development. It uses a 'child-centered' teaching method with games and special learning tools. In the structured online classes held twice a week, children acquire mathematical knowledge and improve their thinking skills. They continue their learning at home with books, board games and app under the guidance of the beGalileo academic advisor.

Question 6

My child is not interested in math at all? Will beGalileo help?

Accepted Answer

We have found that the only reason kids don’t like math is because they do not understand it. And math being a subject where concepts are so deeply inter-connected, a learning gap in earlier grades widens as the child goes to higher grades. Moreover, the one-size-fits-all classroom teaching does not permit enough time for students who are struggling on a concept to learn it at their own pace. So, slowly, many students develop a dislike for Math. In beGalileo, we aim to first remove this 'fear or dislike' for math. We do it by identifying the strengths and learning gaps of the child through a scientifically designed test called MIDAS and then personalizing the learning based on the results. The program is designed to first close the learning gaps and let the child learn at his or her own pace. Secondly, the multi format learning methodology which includes games, activities, online learning ensures that we also cater well to individual learning styles.

Question 7

My child gets good score in math at school. Will beGalileo be useful for my child?

Accepted Answer

Doing well at school is a good outcome but often does not give a clear reflection on the child’s understanding of concepts, particularly in primary grades. The lack of clear understanding starts showing up when the student is getting ready for competitive exams. So, at beGalileo we make sure that every child learns the 'why' behind the concepts and is also appropriately challenged to give a deeper understanding and build higher self confidence.

Question 8

I want my child to do well in Olympiads. Is beGalileo useful for that?

At beGalileo, our curriculum is designed to cover all topics of school level math across varying level of difficulty as well as logical & reasoning skills. So, every student at beGalileo gets prepared for Olympiads. Our students have consistently scored exceedingly well at Olympiads with many holding ranks at school, state and national levels.
