Next Gen careers and Jobs require Adults who can Think, Reason and Solve. STEPS in MATH program focuses on nurturing essential skills that will help young children to develop Mathematical Thinking, Reasoning and Problem solving strategies through active Math Learning experience and connecting Math to real life scenarios. Most of the current Education Curriculum do not provide avenues for kids to think and explore Maths concepts. STEPS in MATH program aims to nurture below essential skills that equip kids to gain Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and bridge the gap!
The four main aspects which are focused on the STEPS IN MATH program and the associated pedagogy technique can be seen below.
The program aims to foster essential Math skills like: Arithmetic fluency, Reasoning, Pattern recognition, Visual thinking & Problem solving, Questioning, Conjecture, Generalizing, along side soft skills highlighted below that adds value to their learning.

Want to know how STEPS in MATH program incorporates enriched learning of Math at young age? Check it out in the FAQ section below!
STEPS in MATH program incorporates “Inquiry Based Learning” and “Guided discovery Learning” methodologies for Math learning. Research indicates that children learn at their best when they get the feel of finding out something on their own. This will nurture their curiosity while at the same time enhance their interest in learning Math.
Kids are encouraged to frame questions and communicate that will help them understand the concepts better.
STEPS in MATH program focuses on two key aspects of problem solving namely Understand and Apply. The program focuses on
- Math concept clarity
- Connect math concepts with real life examples and scenarios
- Train Mathematical thinking & problem solving through 4 main steps:
Understand, Plan, Execute and Reflect. - Provide rich activities with emphasis on Skill based learning which improves critical thinking, systematic working, visualizing, modelling, communication, analytical & logical skills from young age.
- Provide an environment for peer learning that encourages co-operate instead of compete.
- The program includes lots of games, activities, puzzles and hands-on work which gives an active Math learning experience for kids. Active learning makes the learning process enjoyable.
- The learning environment and approach makes them overcome “Fear of unknown” and “Fear of failure” and transforms them to “Let me do it” and “Challenging work expands my thinking”
Yes, students from different boards like Stateboard, CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, IB and open schooling can participate. The STEPS in MATH curriculum focuses on providing a strong Math concept foundation and build essential Math skills like: Systematic thinking & working, purposeful questioning, reasoning, pattern recognition, connect with real life situations, problem solving skills which will prepare them to become independent Math thinkers and problem solvers.
The program is designed to cover only one or two Math concepts during one term which is 4 months. The goal of the program is to instill thinking, reasoning & problem solving skills. Therefore sufficient time is given for students to get solid foundation & skills rather to cover many Math concepts.
The STEPS IN MATH program has a designed curriculum based on Inquiry Based Learning and therefore will not function like a tuition. However, doubts from the students are welcomed and can be discussed and provided clarity outside class sessions.
This program is designed for a group class, as the program emphasizes on peer learning through engaging discussions among the students facilitating learning from each other.
Typically a group contains 6 to 8 students while the maximum can be only 10 students.
