Depth over Speed
At The Math School, we do not value fast work. Many people have the wrong believe that being good at maths means being fast at maths. It doesn't and we need to change that minset. What we need to student to excel in maths is for them to think deeply, connect methods, reason, and justify.
Growth Mindset
We are confident that mindsets can be transformed. This implies that students with a fixed perspective can transition to a growth-oriented mindset. At The Math School, we consistently reinforce growth messages through the way students are grouped, the assignments they tackle, and the feedback they receive. Studies indicate that when students err in math, there's brain growth, with synapses activating and connections forming.
