After first grade she had continued to fall behind. School work overwhelmed her and was often brought home to be completed along with her assigned homework. It took her hours to do everything even with help and she was frustrated every evening. Then we had her tested at LearningRx. At the beginning of 5th grade. She has completed the Read program. Her dyslexia always made reading difficult for her, although she loved to be read to and had great comprehension skills when she listened to this story.
With MathRx®, we focus on the fundamental skills needed to get better at math, like short-term memory, logic and reasoning, and processing speed.
At the same time, MathRx® helps students improve math skills in four basic areas:
- We help students become fluent in the language of math, helping them make sense of written equations and math concepts in spoken language.
- We teach students how to see the world in terms of numbers and quantities, including concepts like size, weight, and amount.
- We help students break down math problems into easy-to-understand pieces and then put the pieces back together to understand the whole problem.
- We train students to think in mathematical terms more quickly and accurately, allowing them to understand math concepts and solve problems faster.
As with other LearningRx programs, MathRx® is customized for every learner. This way, we can focus on specific math skills or math difficulties in training.
- Elementary students who are starting to learn math
- Middle and high school students who are having trouble with math and related subjects
- Adults who want to make math more intuitive and less frustrating
