How We Inspire Learning
Making Math Concrete
By using hands-on tools like Zometool, magnetic tiles, and 3D-printed objects, abstract concepts like geometry and numbers become parts of creative play.
Building Confidence
The course is intentionally designed to be a safe, joyful space where mistakes are embraced as crucial steps in the learning process.
Promoting Thinking
Dr. Liu encourages children to constantly "talk their mathematical thinking," explaining their process and reasoning in a collaborative, community-based setting.
Making Connections
The course is structured to help children see mathematics not as an isolated school subject, but as a powerful tool for understanding and shaping the world around them.
