G7–9 Math Lab
Your child learns Korean middle school math and works through the same units with English problems from US, UK, and IB math.
Students learn linear equations and functions in grades 7–8, then quadratic equations and trigonometric ratios in Grade 9.

The order your child follows in each unit
Your child learns the concepts from the Korean textbook first, then works through the same unit again with English terms and English problems.
What your child studies at each step
- Learn the concept from the textbook
- Learn the same concept with English termsFunction · Slope · Intercept
- Read English word problems and set up equationsWord Problems
- Write out the reasoning behind the solution
- Solve problems from international courses and competitions
Example: a word problem with a system of equations
When a problem gives the speed going up and down a trail and the total time, your child lets x be the distance up and y the distance down and writes a linear equation. English word problems are set up the same way.
Derive the formulas, then redo mistakes
We choose from Korean textbooks and school materials and from English Algebra and Geometry textbooks, based on your child's current unit, target course, and how well they read word problems in English.
- What your child practices: Deriving formulas
How it works: Your child works out where the formulas for equations, functions, and the angles and areas of shapes come from, and proves them.
- What your child practices: From basic to challenge problems
How it works: Problems step up from basic to applied and challenge problems, with algebra and geometry mixed together.
- What your child practices: Redoing problems they got wrong
How it works: Your child finds the concept that tripped them up, hears it explained, and redoes similar problems until they can solve them without help.
- What your child practices: Filling in earlier concepts
How it works: If your child didn't fully learn a concept from an earlier grade, they go back to that unit and fill the gap first.
Your child writes out reasoning in this order
- Find the answerANSWER
- Explain why they chose that methodREASON
- Write the reason behind each stepJUSTIFY
- Write the whole solution as a complete proofPROVE
A quiz every class checks what your child learned
Problems your child gets wrong on the quiz are logged and kept in their own portfolio. See how parents get progress updates
