The scheduled session is typically held once a week and is 1.5 hours long for kindergarten to Grade 8 and 2 hours long for high school students. In addition, there are daily drop-in sessions with expert Math teachers available during weekdays (Mondays to Thursdays) to clarify ask any math homework related questions or clarify any math concepts.

At Math Project, we believe that every child has unique learning needs. The one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work in educating a child. Before enrolling the child in the program, our experts take a free assessment and identify any learning gaps. We then customize a learning plan and recommend whether the 1.5 hour long sessions, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 3:1 are more suitable or the shorter duration, one-on-one sessions.

Our most popular option is the 1.5 hour long sessions.

Background:

Math Project originated in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada in 2010. The on-site programs were located in Mississauga and Brampton. In 2020, Math Project went completely online as a result fo COVID. Bank of Montreal awarded us for being the Top 10 organizations that showed resilience and innovation in the face of the pandemic.

A huge majority of the parents have been so satisfied with the online model that they encouraged us to stay online, mainly due to saving commute time. Also, it allowed parents to glance over the online lessons from the comfort of their homes, allowing higher transparency. Word-of-mouth by our current, satisfied parents triggered a snowball effect allowing parents from other parts of North America to join the online program. 

For grades 1 to 8, Math Project follows a unique curriculum that is aligned with US Common Core. We typically teach new concepts earlier than at school. Most students experience the advantage of learning new material ahead of their peers. Typically, it takes 4 to 8 months for students to be ahead of their peers at school. Parent involvement can accelerate this even more.

For grade 9 to 12, Math Project lessons are customized to help students with the exact material they cover at school if they join during their school semester, and in advance, if they join ahead of time.

Math Project fees are dependent on the student’s grade and program of study. Please give us a call at 1 844-628-4243 to book a free assessment for your child and to receive valuable information regarding Math Project, including fees.

The student to teacher ratio is approximately 3 students to 1 teacher. Each child follows his/her own pace. We keep the group sizes small so that teachers can form a connection with their students and can keep a close eye on their progress.

We do not offer specialized classes to prepare for these entrance tests, however, students have a high success rate in these entrance exams due to the inherent nature of our curriculum and teaching methodology.

Kindergarten to Grade 8: Yes, in our school help program (a.k.a. ‘K-8 Homework Club’) we do provide a school help that focuses on covering the exact material that the student is currently learning at school. This program may help a student who is currently struggling but it is not a long-term solution. Thus, if the child joins the program late and has a missing foundation, many parents enroll students in both the school help program and the regular group sessions to ensure their child does well at school in the current year. After following the Math Project curriculum for a while, most children are far ahead of their school and don’t require help with school homework.

High School: Students who join in high school are taught the exact material the student will cover in school, with logic and reasoning. Students are provided with sufficient practice and tests to master the material and perform well in school.
