If you need some extra maths help then 10ticks has the
answers. The way we teach maths is a tried and tested formula that delivers
great results with independent researchers backing this up. In a paper by
Professor John Hattie and Professor Geoff Petty they researched into the
greatest influences on student learning. If you can address these influences
then you can increase learning results by a huge margin. According to them, you
can increase the rate of learning by 50% with the average student receiving
this teaching exceeding 84% of students not receiving the teaching method.
The important thing is to try to focus on the areas that can
produce the biggest increases in results and give the students the maths help
they need. One of the most important areas Hattie points out for improved
learning is feedback. It is important to tell students they have done well,
creating positive reinforcement, and also to tell them what they need to improve
on so they can really focus on the areas they find a bit more difficult. How we
do this with the 10ticks Online Maths System is through our merit system and with
messages through a phone in the student desk area. Emails out to the
parents/teachers also really help with this process, so they can see where they
child or student needs extra help and give them a hand. Every time a student
does well in a test they will be awarded a merit which once they have collected
enough merits will lead to a certificate. When a student hasn’t done quite so
well on a test we will send out a message which will appear in their desk area.
This will give them feedback on where they went wrong and suggest some more
materials for them to have a look at. This will allow them to build on their
weak areas and really get a grasp of the topic before they move on to the next
one and then reward them when they have done well. In this way they are
encouraged to put the effort in because they can see the benefits. This is one
of the most effective ways to help improve a student’s maths.
Another key area we focus on for maths help is the way
different students learn. We like to cater for all learners by offering a mix
of online and offline learning. The offline learning done with our worksheets
is great for kinaesthetic learners who prefer a more hands on approach to
learning. It is also important for younger learners as they will gain a lot
more from writing and drawing it themselves rather than just doing work on a
computer screen. The online side of the System is great for tracking results,
evaluating where you are as a student and for visual learners that like being
shown examples which is where are video guides come in. Our videos also have
audio commentary which is great for students who like to learn through hearing,
so our System truly caters for all learners and makes sure no student is left
behind. This well rounded approach to learning benefits all learners, by
varying the way a student is taught it keeps them stimulated and interested in learning.
This means no student will get left behind and all students will get the maths
help they need.
This is how the 10ticks Learning System can help your child achieve
great results. Just a bit of extra maths help can go a long way and we aim to
maximise the time spent on the system so the student gets the best learning outcomes
possible. If you would like more information, visit the 10ticks website.
