FUNdamental MATH - SPANISH
FUNMath Spanish was developed to ensure that students whose primary language is Spanish have a strong foundation in basic mathematical concepts , prior to moving them on to more advanced topics. We have found that students with a weak foundation in mathematics often struggle in Algebra. FUNMath Spanish helps students to fill in the holes in their understanding, helping them build a strong foundation of basic mathematical concepts from which they can build their understanding of Algebra. FUNMath Spanish has been successfully used for students in grades 5-9, we recommend that students take this course at either the end of grade 7 or 8, or at the beginning of grade 9 as a refresher for students preparing to take Algebra Spanish. FUNMath Spanish incorporates the English math terminology so that Spanish-speaking students can transition to the English language courses as effortlessly as possible.
