We list math classes across Canada. Find your city below, and discover math classes and lessons providers near you.
Here’s a brief overview of curriculum and skills acquired in math enrichment programs. Consult with individual programs and classes above to confirm what they offer.
Math concepts and principles. In classes and programs listed here, students learn math concepts and principles relevant to their age and grade level. Courses follow the provincial school curriculum, with material tailored to the needs of your child. Younger kids focus on math fundamentals like addition, subtraction, multiplication, long division, working with decimals. Middle grade kids learn fractions, understanding integers, and solving number problems. Older students focus on more advanced concepts like functions, linear and quadratic relations, algebra, and probability.
Problem solving skills. Fundamental problem-solving skills taught in extracurricular math help kids tackle any math equation. Instructors teach kids math principles, and how to break down problems into smaller, more manageable parts. Through math drills, kids learn to solve math problems with speed and accuracy. Programs instill practice and patience, with support from trained instructors.
Mental math. Mental math is a very helpful skill to have in adulthood. From calculating food prices, or tips at a restaurant, to creating budget plans and doing taxes, mental math is very useful. Learning mental math at a young age is essential. Math classes and lessons like those above focus heavily on improving kid’s “brain fitness.” Students in math programs develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to perform large calculations in their heads. While it seems daunting task, math programs teach kids strategies. Watch out – your child may be solving math equations quicker than you can pull out your calculator!
Resilience. Math programs challenge students, aiming to take your child’s math skills to the next level. Kids will encounter difficulties or be faced with weak spots. Math programs teach students the importance of learning from mistakes, and kids improve by trying again. This process develops intrinsic motivation, and they’ll understand first-hand the benefits of a good attitude and perseverance.
Complete school credits in a small group environment. You’ll also find full courses above that offer school credit. Teens can complete a high school math credit like Grade 11 Functions or Grade 12 Calculus. Programs typically offer small group, or one-on-one, classes. These are ideal for teens with advanced math skills. Programs challenge them, beyond what they learn in a regular high school class. These are also a good option for teens who struggle with math. Small group environments allow them individualized attention and support from helpful teachers.
Prep for university. Math classes consolidate and solidify your teen’s math education before entering university. When they take a university program that requires math, their advanced math education sets them off on the right foot. Programs also prepare teens for standardized tests like the SSAT. Numerous programs above have this specific purpose. Kids can participate in practice problems and tests and learn test-taking strategies that help them ace the exam.
Enrich your education. Enriched math education is especially beneficial for younger kids. Research (see links below) shows that early development of math skills can lead to lifetime achievement in a child’s future academic performance. Through hands-on learning, math enrichment programs help young kids develop thinking, problem solving, and number skills. Understanding complex math problems early gives them a head start. Math enrichment is also beneficial for older kids and teens. Supplementing school education with additional math support boosts grades, improves critical thinking skills, and gives them an edge in career development.
Receive extra help. Some math programs above offer personalized math tutoring. This is a helpful option for kids who struggle in math or who learn best with one-on-one attention. Tutors are an educational support to help kids succeed. They begin by assessing the student’s academic needs and creating a custom learning plan tailored to them. Tutors can help kids tackle weaknesses and accelerate strengths. They can identify learning methods that may not be an option in the traditional classroom setting. If your child is math-challenged, a tutor is just what they need to succeed. They might even learn to love math.
Learn in various styles. There are four core learning styles: visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinaesthetic. Each person has one or two dominant forms. Math programs listed here offer curriculum with these different learning styles in mind, which they then tailor to student’s individual style. Children thus understand the material better. Programs can also help kids enhance their less dominant learning styles, to further enrich their intellect.
Build confidence. Whether your child is advanced in math and is taking a math program to enrich their education, or they’re taking a program to help them in areas where they struggle, math programs aim to build kid’s confidence. Math programs meet kids where they’re at and provide the support they need to improve. Kids recognize their successes and improvements, gaining a terrific boost to their self-esteem.
The after-school math programs and lessons listed at OurKids.net vary in design, objectives, and curriculum. While exploring your options, there are a few factors to consider with respect to your goals.
For example, is your child showing signs of giftedness in math class, and looking for more of a challenge? Is your child struggling with the subject, and needs extra help? Are you looking to complete school credit in an alternative teaching centre?
You may also consider how programs adapt to your child’s learning style. Are they finding the typical classroom environment difficult? Would they benefit from individualized teaching? Do they learn better in small group environments?
Here are some additional questions to ask the math program prior to enrolling your child:
OurKids.net offers a wide array of resources to help kids get a great start to learning and personal development. Kids who want or need a deeper immersion in the subject, math camp offers a weeklong or longer schedule of activities. For kids who excel at the subject, you should expose yourself to deeper applications of math like the following recommendations:
Programming camps come in a wide array, but all focusing on applying advanced mathematics to coding. These are ideal for teens or older kids. You can also use our site to find a wide selection of coding classes for kids and teens.
STEM camp combines math with science, technology, and engineering, all of which use applied mathematics to one degree or another. Both STEM and STEAM camps integrate these subjects (with the latter adding arts to the mix). The combination of these traditionally distinct branches of learning develop kids’ skills for the future workforce. See also STEM after school and STEAM classes.
Engineering camp also explores the application of advanced math in projects that combine education with camp fun. Engineering is a practical career pursuit that's endlessly interesting, demanding, and also very lucrative.
Robotics camp focuses on this increasingly relevant pursuit, opening up kids' future job opportunities, as well. Camps make math ideas and concepts relevant and hands-on, exploring the subject from this exciting new angle.
Combine this with more advice from Our Kids and from around the web:
