G1–6 Math Lab
Your child practices using the math they learned in Korean school to solve problems written in English.
Students in grades 1–2 learn basic English math terms. In grades 3–4, they solve school problems again, rewritten as easy English word problems, and in grades 5–6, they learn Pre-Algebra and solve US-style English word problems.
A good fit if this sounds like your child
How your child learns
- What you're seeing
My child knows the concepts but can't read math problems in English.
- How your child learns
- Your child first learns the English terms for concepts they know, then solves the problems from school again, this time written in English.
- What you're seeing
My child calculates correctly but often gets word problems wrong.
- How your child learns
- Your child rereads the problems they got wrong, finds the condition they overlooked, and sets up the equation again.
- What you're seeing
My child struggles to work through school math units alone.
- How your child learns
- Your child relearns the current unit and earlier concepts they didn't fully learn by solving key problems.
- What you're seeing
School math is easy, and my child wants harder problems.
- How your child learns
- Students in grades 1–4 solve SCAT- and Math Kangaroo-style problems. Students in grades 5–6 solve multi-step reasoning problems.

English terms first, then English word problems
Students start with the English words for the concepts they learned at school. Once the terms feel familiar, they solve English Word Problems from the same unit.
How students solve an English word problem
Students read the English sentences in chunks, find the given conditions and the value to solve for, and set up an equation. Then they explain in their own words why they set it up that way and the order of their steps.
A quiz every class checks what your child learned
The quiz shows whether your child can solve problems on that day's concept without help. The problems they got wrong go into their portfolio.
Quiz results go to parents too. See how parents get progress updates
What to settle before your child starts
If you want a clear picture of your child's current level, they can take a diagnostic assessment.
What to settle · What we'll go over in consultation
- Reading English problems
- How well your child reads English word problems alone, and which English math terms to learn first
- Challenge problems
- Whether your child can handle school units alone, and whether to add challenge problems
- Textbooks
- Which to use: school textbooks, practice problems, or our own problem sets
