ABOUT US

Let’s build a strong foundation! Elementary Math is about learning the basics of mathematics. The curriculum is broken down into four topics: Numbers and Operations, Algebraic Thinking, Geometry and Measurement and Data. Math Marvels in elementary school embraces the foundations of math, the skills and concepts they will need to be successful in middle and high school. They learn concepts to make sense of numbers while broadening and mastering the all four operations but expand their understanding of multiplication and division. In 4th and 5th grade, Math Marvels explore and express numbers in multiple ways and use different strategies to make numbers friendlier and quicker to work with. Elementary level Math Marvels learn to work with all kinds of numbers with a special focus on exploring fractional and decimal values. As they begin to think more abstractly, Math Marvels study the number sequences and patterns and the relationship between numbers. At the Elementary Level, Math Marvels learn to make sense of problems before solving them, ask deep questions and find solutions with confidence.v
Welcome to Middle School Math where Math Marvels are actively involved in learning sound mathematical thinking and developing math reasoning. The Middle School Curriculum is broken down into five categories: Number Sense, Ratios and Proportional Reasoning, Algebra, Data and Statistics and Geometry. Math Marvels investigate problems and value understanding the process of algorithms as much as finding the solution. Rather than memorizing facts, Math Marvels learn how and when to apply mathematics to different problems. Beginning with a review of numbers and operations, Math Marvels become fluent with number computations with rational numbers (fractions, decimals) as well as positive and negative numbers. 8th grade Math Marvels broaden their understanding of algebra by studying linear relationships and functions, preparing them for High School Algebra .

What Parents are Saying

“Sarah has really helped me and my daughter understand how to get the conceptual parts of fourth grade math. Being a educator myself and not being great at teaching math but being able to reach out to her and ask questions and have her address it on a platform where everybody can understand has been really helpful. “

Rashana G

“Sarah’s an amazing teacher and eductor and she always makes sure her students understand. Seeing her in action I’m able to recognize how amazing she is at teaching. She really understands students and how they think. And she really thinks about the easiest and simplest way to get kids to think about how to do the problem and why they do it that way. And I think that’s what sticks with kids, when they understand why they use a certain strategy that way.”

Stephanie

“This amazing human who is known to most as Ms. Fuentes has taken me under her wing from my first year teaching to now! She has gone beyond the call of duty during this quarantine to create videos and a FB group to help students, teachers, and parents with math from elementary through middle school! She’s created this platform for anyone that needs help! She has taught me to understand numbers in a new way that allowed me to be a better educator and teacher mom. She’s the best math teacher in NYC!”
