Your Kid Should Feel Good About Math
Middle School is the optimal time to learn how to learn.
A Complete Middle School Math Learning Experience
Each Brain Mind Math Academy Video Program contains the following five parts for each Concept Group (Chapter).
-
Video Teaching - Instruction is based on the premise that your child is in a new developmental stage and has the ability to learn the required math concepts if presented clearly. All the concepts and skills of your child's math course are organized and taught in an easy to understand format with lots of examples so that your child will know exactly every skill they have to learn.
-
PDF Worksheet - Printable PDFs that correlate with the video teaching. This is your new redesigned textbook - designed according to the principles of learning outlined by Brain Mind Learning scientists.
-
Video Test Prep - Assess Yourself - Strategies that teach your child how to assess themselves skill by skill, how to retain the information and be ready for a test so that they can go into a testing environment with confidence rather than anxiety. Your child will learn how to be in more control of their learning - definitely something they want.
-
PDF Test - A printable comprehensive test that covers the concepts taught in the Concept Group/Chapter.

Bachelors of Education, Masters of Distance Education. I enjoy teaching middle school students how to learn because I find their brains are still very elastic and open. I like teaching math because it's an opportunity to turn a bad situation into such a positive one. I have been teaching for over 30 years. Half of that time has been spent finding a way to make math easy for students in grades 6 – 9. This Video Math Program is a way for students to get in a learning groove that will make them feel as smart as they really are. -
Why should I choose a Brain Mind Math Academy Video Program over traditional tutoring?
-
Comfort, Convenience, and Privacy
Unless you get a private tutor most tutoring agencies such as Kumon, Sylvan, Oxford Learning, and Mathnasium are done in a group setting in a classroom with tables and usually four chairs to each table. This may present an uncomfortable situation for your child and increase the overall threat level of math. The Brain Mind Math Academy online video programs allow your child to get expert instruction from the comfort of your home and provide the opportunity for you as a parent to also watch the videos and be instrumental in helping your child become a successful math learner.

Build Confidence Right Away
The basic premise of most tutoring agencies is that an assessment is required to determine what level your child is working at. This can be quite demoralizing to your child if your child does poorly in that assessment and is told that they are several grades behind. The school and tutoring agencies believe that the problem lies with your child and their skill level. Our basic premise is that your child is smart (and you know that because they can do so many things so well) and that the problem lies with the instruction given at the middle school level. Much of the content and skills at the grade 7 and 8 level are repeated so that you do not have to worry about what has happened in the previous grade. The video program covers these foundational skills so that your child is working with content that is at their grade level. This is a great benefit because your child's self-esteem is crucial in making progress and becoming a successful math learner.
-
Costs Less!
The cost of getting tutoring support can easily turn into thousands of dollars. For $697 you can not get this kind of information that is presented in this video program. The video program is a culmination of years of research and practice with proven results.
BMMA Video Program vs. Free Videos/IXL
There are many free videos with great content and teachings on the internet, but none provide the complete set of tools your child needs to become a successful math learner.
-
Completely correlates with the school curriculum - it can be difficult to find all the exact concepts that your child will be studying in their textbook.
-
Easy to follow structure - All the videos for your grade collected in one place.
-
All the concepts and skills are organized in a manner as though it was a "Math Story". The program has a narrative flow that connects previous ideas and skills to present ones helping students build a stronger understanding of the material they are working on.
-
Drill and practice is not enough. Students need to know how a math course works, and how to learn, or their problems will continue to compound as they move into high school.
