Classes 2-5
Mathematics for Classes 2 to 5: the four operations, number systems, integers, first algebra and fractions.
Early Years is the first of our three programmes. It covers what the rest of school mathematics is built on. That means the four operations, the number system and integers, then the first steps into algebra, simple equations and fractions.
The order matters. A child fluent in the four operations can meet negative numbers without being unsettled. A child comfortable with integers can accept a letter standing for a number, then solve a simple equation. Fractions come last, because they ask for all of it at once.
The aim is understanding before speed. A child should be able to say why a step works, not only that it gave the right answer.
This is for a child in Classes 2 to 5 who is meeting the four operations, the number system and their first negative numbers. It suits the child who works slowly and makes slips. It suits equally the child who answers quickly but cannot yet say why the answer is right. If fractions or the first letters of algebra are coming next at school, this is where the ground is prepared.
Classes run live online over Zoom, in batches of up to ten students, and in person at our Poranki centre.
At this age a small misunderstanding hides well. A child unsure about place value, or about what a minus sign does, can carry that quietly for months and still get many answers right. A batch of ten online is small enough for a teacher to notice it.
Both CBSE and the Andhra Pradesh state syllabus are covered. A free demo class can be booked on this website, by phone, or on WhatsApp at +91 90599 12593.
Tests are frequent and diagnostic. They show which idea needs another look before the next is built on it. How we teach →
Short practice between classes, on the chapter being studied. Ten minutes most days does more for a child of this age than an hour once a week. The practice quizzes and maths games on this site are there for that.
11 lessons
A first course in arithmetic: adding and taking away up to ten, the pairs that make ten, working past ten and on to larger numbers, the times tables from two to twenty built out of adding, and an introduction to sharing equally.
11 lessons
This course teaches how whole numbers are built: counting numbers, even and odd, multiples and factors, the divisibility rules for 2 to 11, prime and composite numbers, prime factorisation, and how to find the H.C.F and the L.C.M.
5 lessons
An introduction to positive and negative whole numbers: what they are, where they sit on the number line, and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them.
5 lessons
A first course in algebra: what a letter stands for, how to write a sentence in words as symbols, how to name terms, factors and co-efficients, and how to add and take away like terms.
Overview
7 lessons
A course on fractions: what the top and bottom numbers mean, proper, improper and mixed fractions, rational numbers and simplest form, where a fraction sits on a number line, and how to add, take away, multiply and divide them.
