Proficiency Development in Lymboo Math

The Lymboo Math program emphasizes gradual learning to promote deeper understanding of math concepts. Students learn the most basic concepts first, and learn them well through daily practice assignments. All the assignments are timed and students are required to demonstrate proficiency – as measured by LyQ score – before progressing to the next topic.

Proficiency can be attained only by understanding a concept from different angles. The hallmark of mastery is the ability to comprehend a problem and recognize and apply the skill(s) necessary to solve it. To accomplish this our program incorporates four types of problems throughout the curriculum:

• Basic : Just as the name implies, basic problems help the student grasp the fundamentals of a math concept. For example, pure addition and subtraction, identifying geometric shapes, reading time, calculating mean of a set of numbers, etc.
• Applied : This category of questions improve the ability of students to directly apply their basic skills to solving simple and straightforward real world problems.
• Critical Thinking : By solving the problems in this category students hone their skills of careful reasoning and analysis. They come up with smarter solutions, faster!
• Problem Solving : Exposure to solving complex problems, which require students to apply multiple skills, deepens learning and develops methodical skills.
