577 NumberWorks’nWords Tutorial with Little Lights 4 of 12

Written by Core Team Member, Maria Espinas
Ever disliked Math? Experienced Math Anxiety – sweaty palms, feeling nervous when called during recitation? Getting bored and thinking Math is not fun? Believe me, I know the feeling.
But hey, good news!!! NumberWork’s’nWords is here to help us be more confident in working with numbers, learn new math techniques and at the same time have fun. Yes, that’s possible, playing while learning!
NumberWork’s’nWords in partner with U!Happy Events, is running a six week program on advanced tutorials in Math and English which benefited 16 kids of Little Lights Ministry. The first 6 sessions will focus on math and the remaining 6 sessions will focus on English.
Today is their 4th Session for Advance Math and kids from Little Lights came in very excited! Yes you heard it right, VERY EXCITED! They were divided in to 2 groups. The first batch were assigned to their respective work stations with me and Teacher Vines. The second batch is with Teacher Pam for a random recitation on multiplication table.
Teacher Vines selected the program for each kid while I assist them in working with numbers. Seeing these kids think, solve and count reminded me of my struggles when I was little. The difference, I was feeling bad with sweaty palms and having difficulty solving the problem while the kids from Little Lights, they too had difficulty but they were more confident and challenged in solving the equations. You will still see some kids sneaking and counting using number sticks, but they were inhibited to do so. They were encouraged to master the multiplication table to strengthen their foundation.
The Math programs were presented in an interesting and fun manner. It motivates and challenges the kids to solve the problem so they can too unlock the game and proceed to the next level.
Indeed, these children from Little Lights are privileged to experience a new, fun and advanced approach in learning Math and soon, English.
