Top Banana Academy in Newton

Top Banana Academy of Newton teaches the skills to master math concepts with confidence, allowing students to work fast, efficiently and independently. Don't let unfamiliar problems bog your student down. Instead, let them learn how to reason through a problem with vigor and enthusiasm. So, what's the secret for the Top Banana? Better strategies.

Our innovative approach to teaching math focuses on developing reasoning and logic skills while perfectly balancing study of math concepts with intelligent fun practice. Children are prepared to solve problems without the crutch of calculators and computers. We provide a terrific environment where learning and fun go hand-in-hand. At Top Banana Academy, kids are intellectually challenged and truly enjoy the experience.

We all can be divided into two categories - those who love math and those who can love math. The good news is that everyone, including kids, has natural talents. Some of us have good memory. Some can vividly describe things using language. Yet, others would rather draw pictures. Some learn by watching and some by listening. Often a talent can be dormant until it is woken up. We learn and understand in a variety of ways. Success comes from learning to utilize all your different talents and abilities, make them cooperate and enhance each other.

There is a couple of reasons. On one hand, research shows that an average school curriculum has significantly less time allocated to math than English and other language-based disciplines. On the other hand, language skills are much easier to practice. Children talk, listen to spoken language, read and write. Math is a different story. There may not be enough opportunities outside of school to practice math and thus developing those skill into "second nature". In addition, technological progress has lessened the need for people to exercise math skills in a wide variety of day-to-day activities.

Learning and, most importantly, retaining solid knowledge in mathematics requires incremental skill building. First and foremost element in this process is good foundation. Children have different amount and quality of knowledge and skills. This is our number one criteria when it comes to placement. We recommend that every prospective student undergo a quick assessment test to determine the most appropriate class.

Students attend our program once a week. Classes are forty-five minutes long for Kindergartners (Lemur), one hour for first (Spider Monkey), second (Chimpanzee) and third (Orangutan) graders, one hour and fifteen minutes for forth graders (Baboon I) and ninty minutes for fifth graders (Baboon II). The program is aligned with a school year, September through mid-June.
