INSTRUCTORS
- Affordable – Not consumable and can be reused year after year
- Adaptable – Great Leaps can be implemented easily as a parent or in an entire school district
- Data Driven – Equal ratio charts are kept to gauge student progress and can be used to predict student progress
- Efficient – Takes less than five minutes a day, five days per week
- Simple – Multi-sensory math without expensive gimmicks
STUDENTS
- Attention Span – Working within a student’s attention span daily yields the best results in learning
- Improved Confidence – Individualized attention and positive reinforcement builds confidence and motivation
- Academic Growth – Mastering basic math facts reduces arithmetic errors in higher and science courses while increasing mathematical creativity
- Behavior – Academic confidence often leads to a decrease in referrals
PROGRAM
- Daily oral lessons allow students to work until mastery
- As the student progresses lessons become more difficult
PROCEDURE
- The instructor administers one-minute timings in the desired focus areas daily
- Responses and errors are charted after each lesson
- Problems answered incorrectly are immediately corrected then written on notecards for practice
- In fractions and decimals students are coached after the timing to ensure full understanding
PROVEN TEACHING METHODS
- There is immediate correction by the tutor when an error made is reinforcement through coaching
- As the student builds speed and accuracy confidence and motivation increase
EVIDENCE BASED
- Precision teaching assessment methods bring students to master their math facts quickly and effectively
INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTIONS
- Great Leaps programs require an instructor to implement with immediate correction
- One on one instruction ensures the student’s focus and effort where a computer program alone cannot
- Answers are provided for the tutor but we recommend a knowledgeable tutor to implement the fractions programs
COMPLETE ORAL CALCULATION PACKAGE INCLUDES
- One copy of the Numeration, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fraction Fundamentals, Calculating Fractions and Decimals programs
- A built-in easel allows the instructor and student to sit across from one another
- 70 Numeration lessons, 60 Addition lessons, 54 Subtraction lessons, 60 Multiplication lessons, 54 Division lessons, 55 Decimals lessons, 78 Fractions Fundamentals lessons and 72 Fractions Calculation lessons
