eSylvan's Math Essentials Program

The eSylvan live, online Math Essentials program teaches students in grades three through eight to master and apply fundamental, grade-appropriate math skills. Each personalized Math Essentials program is custom-built around your child's skill gaps and emphasizes the key components of math-skill development, including:

Math Essentials Programs - Online math tutoring

Math Facts— Students practice and learn the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.

Numeration— Students develop a sense of numbers, including place value, skip-counting, rounding and comparing numbers, as well as categories of numbers such as whole numbers, exponents, and irrationals.

Computation— Once students have learned the basic math facts, they advance to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers, including long division.

Fractions and Decimals— Students learn the representations of fractions and decimals, such as ratios, proportions, and percentages. Students then learn to compute, compare, and convert one form into the other and do calculations upon numbers in these forms.

Integers— Students understand the conceptual basis of positive and negative numbers, including absolute values, and learn to compute with them.

Algebraic Reasoning (Algebra) — Students gain the reasoning skills that lead to success in algebra. These skills include patterns, charts, tables, graphs, and solving for missing values.

Measurement— Students learn exact and estimated measurement units. They learn to calculate with measured values, such as length, weight capacity, time and money.

Geometry— Students identify basic two and three-dimensional geometric shapes and their properties. At higher levels, students calculate missing measurements, area, surface, perimeter, and volume.

Probability and Statistics— Students discover the basic concepts of data, chance, and fairness. Then students evolve into formal probability, counting techniques, and statistical measures and graphs.

Problem Solving— Every eSylvan math skill has problem solving lessons to teach students how to apply the math skills they've learned. In addition, students learn specific problem solving techniques and strategies.

With eSylvan's digital writing tablet and wireless pen, each student is able to show all their work. The teacher can see the student's work simultaneously on the monitor, without the use of scratch paper or a calculator. Through the online math programs, students build a foundation for success in pre-algebra, algebra, and other higher-level math courses.

Sample Math Lessons:

Grade 3 - Compute Simple Addition/Subtraction Problems Using Monetary Amounts
