The Gems Squared Math program/tutoring is a mathematical process in which students acquire and apply mathematical knowledge and skills. These processes are all inter related. Mathematical concepts, Problem solving and further communication are strongly linked together. First mastering the Math foundation through clear understanding of concepts and then further problem-solving approach encourages students to reason their way to a solution. As students engage in understanding and reasoning, our teachers further encourage them to make inference and justify solutions, in writing.

The development of communication and reflection opens the door to recognizing the range of strategies that can be used to arrive at a solution.

The mathematical processes learned in Gems Squared cannot be separated from the knowledge and skills that students acquire throughout the year. Students must problem solve, communicate, reason, reflect, connect and present, as they develop the understanding of concepts, and the skills required in all the strands in every grade.
