Think Academy’s Tuition Methodology
Developing world-class maths courses for almost two decades, Think Academy is a leading expert in developing online maths courses for students preparing for UK-based entrance exams, helping candidates secure admission to their chosen grammar or independent school.
See how Think Academy’s research and expertise positively impacts a child’s 11+ mathematics preparation.
Understanding the 11+ Curriculum
Knowing how to structure your child’s exam preparation properly is essential. For example, exam papers include more questions on Word Problems, Numbers and Operations, and Geometry, than others, such as Algebraic Problems.
The pie chart above predicts the proportion of question types exam boards will use in the 2022 exam based on Think Academy’s research.
Think Academy uses this data to ensure its online courses focus on helping your child to achieve top marks in their exam papers.
50% of 11+ Maths is NOT Taught at School
You may be aware that some secondary schools advise against 11+ exam preparation. However, it is not clear as to why this is. Think Academy’s research indicates that schools do not adequately prepare candidates to sit entrance exams.
All of the topics highlighted in yellow within the data above are maths topics not covered at school. But candidates are required to fully understand these to achieve those all-important top marks.
Think Academy’s online courses ensure your child is confident solving problems across the entire 11+ maths curriculum.
A Structured Learning Trajectory
While most parents choose to start preparing their child a couple of years before their exam, Think Academy accommodates the needs of every candidate, with 7+ and 11+ exam preparation options.
Moreover, each course is flexible. This means your child could study with Think Academy in Years 3 and 4 to prepare for their grammar school exam. Alternatively, Think Academy could guide your child on their entire primary school journey, from 7+ preparation to 11+ independent school entry.
Selecting the Right Course
The Acceleration course is tricky and focuses on helping students make fast progress. Whereas the Mastery course is extra challenging, preparing for entrance exam excellence.
Think Academy’s Competition courses continue to prepare aspiring mathematicians for UK maths competitions.
