Why choose our Eye Level Maths?

Eye Level Maths: A Foundation for Mathematical Mastery through Self-Directed Learning

Eye Level Maths is a comprehensive math program designed to foster mathematical proficiency in children. It goes beyond rote memorisation and focuses on developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. One of the key elements that sets Eye Level Maths apart is its emphasis on self-directed learning.

Self-directed learning is a pedagogical approach that empowers learners to take ownership of their education. It encourages active exploration, critical thinking, and problem-solving, fostering a lifelong love of learning. Eye Level Maths aligns seamlessly with this philosophy by providing a structured yet flexible learning environment that allows children to progress at their own pace.

Key Features of Eye Level Maths:

  • Individualised Learning Plans: Each child receives a customised learning plan based on their current skill level. This ensures that they are neither bored nor overwhelmed, as they can progress at their own pace.
  • Self-Paced Learning: Children can work through the materials at their own speed, giving them a sense of control over their learning.
  • Critical Thinking Development: Eye Level Maths emphasises critical thinking skills. Through engaging activities and problem-solving exercises, children are encouraged to analyse information, evaluate arguments, and draw conclusions.
  • Positive Reinforcement: The program fosters a positive and supportive learning environment, rewarding children for their efforts and achievements.

Benefits of Eye Level Maths:

  • Strong Foundation in Mathematics: Eye Level Maths helps children build a solid understanding of mathematical concepts, preparing them for future academic success.
  • Improved Problem-Solving Skills: The program develops critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which are essential for success in various fields.
  • Increased Confidence: As children progress through the program and achieve success, they develop confidence in their mathematical abilities.
  • Lifelong Learning: Eye Level Maths fosters a love of learning that can extend beyond mathematics, setting the stage for lifelong success.

How Eye Level Maths Works:

  1. Diagnostic Test: Children undergo an initial assessment to determine their current skill level.
  2. Personalized Learning Plan: Based on the assessment results, a personalized learning plan is created.
  3. Self-Paced Learning: Children work through the materials at their own pace, with guidance from trained instructors.
  4. Regular Progress Checks: Children’s progress is monitored regularly to ensure that they are staying on track and receiving the necessary support.

If you’re looking for a math program that can help your child develop a strong foundation in mathematics and build confidence in their abilities, Eye Level Maths is an excellent choice.

Reading Fluency vs. Grammar Accuracy. Which is more important?

The debate about which is more important, reading fluency or grammar accuracy, is a long standing one. Such is a chicken or the egg problem, which unfortunately, Critical Thinking Mathematics will not help.

Traditional educators would argue that a child develops its ability to form grammatically correct sentences by imparting technical knowledge such as the recognition and usage of verbs, nouns, punctuations and tenses. On the other side of the fence, the liberal educators would stand by their pedagogy that fluency would help with a child’s understanding of meaning and context.

However, it is truly the case that one method is more superior than another? According a research in cognitive psychology, the brain is divided into different areas. The area that focuses on grammatical processing is known as the Broca’s area, a small part of the left frontal lobe. Its general function includes language comprehension, action recognition and production, and speech-associated gestures, such as using sign languages.

Learning language fluency, however, triggers the whole frontal lobe, which has also been linked to executive functions, such as attentional control, working memory, reasoning and problem-solving.

So, which is truly more important? Perhaps there isn’t a strictly correct answer. Perhaps both arguments are correct. Non-native learners would benefit more with the study of grammar as it taps on a smaller part of the brain. This would progress towards a fuller understanding and comprehension of the language as they develop larger parts of the frontal lobe later. Native learners, on the other hand, benefit by first understanding context and meaning as these help them form meaningful relationships with others, which also develops the self-identity of the child. They would then work towards refining their understanding of the language through the study of grammar. Either way, both go hand-in-hand and are equally critical to the study of a language.

On a side note, scientists have researched and determined that the chicken did come first. Mindblown!

Because Eye Level Works

Eye Level is based on an educational principle where students learn at their own pace. When an instructor understands the learning needs of a student, the teaching are most effective.

As a leading provider in supplemental education for Math, English, Eye Level learning centers strive to teach and tutor children ages 4-14 in basic learning skills.

Eye Level is a supplemental education program that originated in Korea about 30 years ago and now has over 2.5 million children enrolled world-wide. We are the leading provider of supplemental education in the areas of Math and English.

Eye Level Study Programs

Diagnostic Assessment
The diagnostic test will provide insight into the student’s ability and learning needs. It is utilized to determine the best place to start the student in the Eye Level curriculum.

Initial Starting Point
This allows students to build confidence to help ensure future success in proceeding levels.

Self Directing Learning
Students will follow a self-directed learning method and develop independent learning skills in our Eye Level learning centers. Instructors will provide guidance to students as they move throughout their individualized program.

Assessment
Before a student proceeds to the next level and new skill set, an Eye Level instructor will give the student a level test to evaluate if they have achieved mastery of the current material.

Feedback
Directors/Instructors provide consultations and communicate with parents regarding their children’s learning progress on a regular basis.

Small Steps to Success

All concepts and skills in the Eye Level program are interrelated. Mastery of basic foundational skills is necessary before advancing to more complex skills, resulting in improvement of a child’s accuracy and speed when completing more complex questions.

The Lasting Benefits for your Child

Commitment to your child
No matter what your reason for attending Eye Level, we are committed to providing your child with the most positive experience possible. This pervades everything we do, down to the program we select for your child, and their interaction with our thoroughly trained staff.

Eye Level has the best curriculum around
There is simply no competition when it comes to the quality of instruction and curriculum that you will find at Eye Level. We are the only center worldwide that offers a critical thinking component as part of our math program. Furthermore, our curriculum has been developed in a way that allows children to make progress and proceed through levels.

Individualized Instruction
While our curriculum is developed structurally, each child is assessed individually. Our instructors tailor our curriculum by understanding each child’s abilities from their eye level.

Eye Level from the perspectives of our Parents (Part 2)

This month, we share with you blogger mummy, Cherry’s experience with Eye Level Singapore 🙂

Here is an excerpt from her blog, Sweet Memoirs, on how Eye Level has developed the confidence of her boy who is currently in K2:

“I have never seen G doing some number problems before ever so confidently and enthusiastically until he started his lessons at Eye Level. Every time we come back from his lessons, he would ask me to set the timer for him while he works on his assignment to be submitted on the next session. “Please turn on the timer for me, mom. See how I can finish it very fast”, he’d proudly declare.”

Find out what else she said about Eye Level by visiting her blog, Sweet Memoirs, today!

Eye Level from the perspective of our Parents!

Mummy blogger, Jolin, tried our Math programme on her boy, Big J! Here is an excerpt from her blog, The JS Arena after joining us for two months:

“What I really like about Eye Level Math is the individualised curriculum which starts teaching from his eye level. This allows him to learn at a pace and level that is comfortable to him and not feeling too stress.

The blend of BTM and CTM is also interesting to me. I feel that this is very suitable for pre-primary level as the combination is useful for the child’s developing brain. The systematic and progressive curriculum helps in building a strong foundation for learning more complex concepts.”

Learn more about her journey with us by visiting her blog The JS Arena today. You may even pick up useful parenting tips from her along the way!

We are now in West Coast Plaza

Eye Level @ West Coast Plaza is Open!

At Eye Level, we respect children’s views and dreams, rather than impose rules and thoughts from adults upon them. We consider each child’s individuality and ability, and we encourage children to be the leaders of their own learning. Since each child grows at his or her eye level, we guide students to become those who learn and think for themselves, similar to the benefit of teaching people how to catch a fish, instead of catching the fish for them.

We expect our students to be proactive learners, so they get motivated to study, plan strategies at their eye level, and implement the plans using good time management. Our Instructors provide a better learning environment and external motivation so that the student keeps on studying. They also help the student to set a goal and provide guidance towards achieving the goal.

Visit our new Eye Level @ West Coast Plaza Learning Centre to find out more.
