Help with Math

From accounting to zoology, to carpentry, to simply balancing a check book, strong math skills are fundamental requirements for success in life. Dreamcatcher's unique one-to-one teaching approach, combined with an efficient, carefully sequenced curriculum will foster math proficiency in learners of all ages.
Fundamentals of Math - Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division
Typical Student: 3rd grade through adult learners who can't remember math facts, get confused working with 2-digit divisor problems, add when solving a subtraction story problem, don't borrow when they should, and have general difficulty with mathematics.
Students will learn:
- 100 basic addition, subtraction, or multiplication facts
- 90 basic division facts
- To read and write numbers into the thousands
- To solve addition and subtraction problems involving 4-digit numbers with carrying and borrowing
- To solve multiplication problems involving 3-digit numbers times 2-digit numbers
- To solve division problems involving dividing a 5-digit number by a 2-digit number with remainders
- Discrimination between addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division story problems
- To deal with numbers that have zero, one, or more than one
- To identify digits belonging to the ones, tens, hundreds, or thousands columns
Students will leave each program able to retain facts, understand place value, solve computational problems, discriminate between various types of story problems, and accurately translate story problems into numerical statements.
Fundamentals of Math - Basic Fractions
Typical Student: 4th grade through adult learners who are learning, or had trouble learning, advanced mathematics skills such as basic fractions.
Students will learn:
- To add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with common denominators
- To multiply fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers
- How to convert some fractions to numbers and numbers to fractions
- How to tell if a fraction is more than, less than, or equal to one
- How to convert mixed numbers to fractions
- To find equivalent fractions
Students will leave Fundamentals of Math - Basic Fractions with a firm understanding of basic fraction relationships and operations.
Fundamentals of Math - Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Typical Student: 4th grade through adult learners who are learning, or had trouble learning, advanced mathematics skills such as fractions, decimals, and percents.
Students will learn:
- To add, subtract, multiply and divide any fractions and mixed numbers
- How to reduce any improper fractions
- To find the largest in a series of fractions
- To find equivalent fractions
- To add, subtract, multiply and divide any decimal numbers
- How to work back and forth between fractions, decimals, and percents
Students will leave this program proficient in the relationships between and operations of fractions, decimals, and percents.
Fundamentals of Math - Ratios and Equations
Typical Student: 4th grade through adult learners who are learning, or had trouble learning, advanced mathematics skills such as ratios and equations.
Students will understand:
- The procedure for changing any number into any other number by multiplying
- How each number in a ratio (a pair of fractions) is related to each other number
Students will leave this program with a firm understanding of ratios and basic equations and their application to story problems.
Transitional Math
Typical Student: 6th grade through adult learners who have mastered the concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but lack further knowledge of math and how the concepts relate to one another.
Students will learn:
- Whole number operations and relations (multiplication/division and inverse operations)
- Fractions (operations, mixed numbers, equivalence, simplifying, and common denominators)
- Number families and extensions (whole numbers, tables, fraction number families)
- Decimals and percents (decimal relationships, rounding, percents)
- Estimation
- Problem solving (classification number families, comparison number families, number family tables, inverse operations, ratios and proportions, and ratio tables)
- Geometry (perimeter, area, lines and angles, circles, and the coordinate system)
Students will be proficient at basic math operations having to do with division, fractions, decimals, percents, and geometry. They will have reasons to feel good about their ability to do math.
