OKAY... so who is afraid of Maths?

Who dreads Mathematics lessons at school?

Who would rather do ANYTHING than their Maths homework?

TCG has introduced its very own, tailor-made maths programme, courtesy of Miss Nuket.  Miss Nuket is a mathematician with over 15 years experience teaching Maths.

In the programme we emphasize concepts such as:

• Patterns
• Analytical Thinking
• Problem solving
• Numeracy
• Positioning
• Operations, and more...

Maths at TCG is taught in a fun way through games, songs and activities carried out by the class teacher and Miss Nuket, who spends time in each class to enhance Mathematics' inputs. It is also taught through our friendly Octopus, to learn more click here.

So why is Maths important?

Researchers say that it is crucial to build the foundations of solid mathematical abilities in chidlren while they're still between the tender ages of 3 and 6 years. Providing a fun, confidence-inspiring learning environment is an essential part of this equation. At TCG, we've given Maths the attention it deserves within the greater framework of our curriculum, and we've found that the best way to teach it is to create a unique space for it. Our Maths Garden, create and designed by Miss Nuket is used by each class on a rotational basis so that all TCG children have access to a full  range of innovative activities and games designed for their edification and education.

Patterning

All about Patterning...

• Mathematics is the study about patterns
• Studying patterns is an opportunity to observe, hypothesize, experiment, discover and create
• Studying pattern is a great way to integrate Mathematics with many other disciplinis within our wide curriculum, including music, creative writing, social studies and science
• Patterning is often categorized as 'Algebra'. Algebra is also all about spotting relationships
• The Arabs have used patterns in education and aesthetics for thousands of years. You can see lovely Arabic patterns in mosques and on buildings here in Dubai. Other nations that have also developed unique cultural uses for patterns include; Native Americans, Indians, Chinese, Japanese and Aborigines.

Math Workshop in Turkey

Miss Nuket, our Mathematics Coordinator, was invited to give a workshop at Istek Semiha Sakir Baris Anaokulu school in Turkey. Her presentation highlighted the importance of Maths education for young chidlren and outlined how best to ensure this happens effectively.
