Improving maths skills

In YOUPSA's Afterschool Enrichment Programme, children have various opportunities to improve their maths skills. Under no pressure, threat or expectation, they can unfold their natural interest and joy in dealing with numbers and problem solving. In school our kids have not gained any basic math concepts or number sense at all. All they have know from there is a fear and distaste for numbers. In the YOUPSA groups we have been concentrating on solidifying using numbers 0 - 9, 10 - 19, and the concept of plus and minus. YOUPSA revives the childrens' natural curiosity about the magic of numbers. It is an absolute delight to see how the children are now very actively engaged and enjoying their maths time to the fullest.
