Good morning this is Dr. Pan recording live from
Tucson, Arizona. As a child who
struggled in math, I remember feeling frustrated
and lost without knowing I was learning
and how ir all fit in together. I remember
crying over the homework and I remember
the knot in my stomach whenever a test comes around.
So behind me, you can see I have a
k-12 roadmap. Together, we
take a journey and it's my sincere hope
that this would help you and your child. To start with,
let's have an overview.
There are 5 major milestones.
k-3rd, 3rd-5th and
6-10th, 11th - 12th and 12th and
onward. The transition points are very important.
Well, let's take a look at each one of them. Starting with
k-3rd. Here, we have addting, subtracting and
of course, multiplication table. Later on, I will
have another clip on how to deal with mulitiplication
table the most powerful way, so you can avoid the
memorization all together. Moving on the next transition point.
We have long division, decimals and percent.
Now, all this is going to lead
to fraction. Fraction is one of the most
important mathematic concept introduced
in Arithmetics. The next transition
point is 6th- 10th
grades. Now, 6th grade is particularly
difficult for lots of students for several reaaons.
One, mathematically, it's the first time
words problems are introduced. Word problems are
application of the material kids have been learning so far.
Ratios and fractions - they all come into play.
And socially, lots of students start to
going away from the primary school, growing into
the next stage where social tension is getting
more difficult for lots kids to manage.
So, if you have a 6th grader or
one who's going to 6th grade, you really want to pay attention
to help ease that transition. Now, mathematically,
after 6th grade, 7th and 8th grades
are all pre-algebra. Lots of students moving into
Algebra one. Algebra 1 is actually the
where all the Fun stuff start to happen.
It's the rubber meets the road, sort of speaking.
Quadratic Equation here describes the
flight path of a football, for example. Exponents,
can tell us the interests rate for morgage payment
System of equations can help us model
a lot of real life situations.
Unfortunately, Geometry got stuck in between
Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. The reason is that
Algebra 1 and Geometry are both needed for
SAT and ACT.
To do well, both classes materials are needed.
So students who return for Algebra2
do lose a little bit of momentum. So you want to
pay attention to that. Now, moving onto the next
milestone. 11th- 12th
Those classes,
Algbra2 and Trig/preCal are the gateway math
leading up to Calculus.
For students who are interested in Science, Engineering
sometimes, law schools, and of course, medical fields
or veterinary schools, this is a must.
They have to pass this. Like I said earlier,
Algebra 2 students do lose a little bit of momentum
because Algebra 1 was taken a year or two ago.
All right. Onto our last one.
12th - college grades.
Calculus 1 or 2. In our high school
system, Calculus 1 is the Calculus AB and
after Calculus 1, you
have Calculus BC. Very few students get into
the multi-variable, which is Calculus 3. But if you do,
that child's application to college
is really on top of the pile.
THere you have it. So, here is the
milestone map. Here is a quick re-cap: you want to
pay attention to the transition points. After the 3rd grade,
and somewhere between 3rd and 4th grade, you want to pay attention.
6th grade is a critical one. And for students
who are in High schools, you want to pay attention right around
Algebra to Geometry transition. I have been teaching math
since 2003. From past experience,
there are two major points
that I want to share with you. The first point is:
Math is different than any other
subject in that it is
sequential. So one topic is built on
top of the other. Without succeeding in the fundational
ones, the top of the building blocks will crumble.
For example, if a child comes in for
For example, if a child comes in for
Algebra 1's Quadratic problem. If you really trace
it back, it's probably going to be related to
something in Fraction. Without addressing Fractions problems
first, any help you give in
Algebra 1 is going to be hollow. So the thing to do is
not rushing through, fixing
Algebra problems. Instead, make sure you
talk to a teacher, a math coach or a math tutor
ask what fundation problems
were not addressed properly. Address those first.
The second thing is that math is like
a language. It should be treated as so. To learn a
foreign language, you need to practice daily.
And you need to have a good feedback. Even though
math is more than just a grade, the way you
can spot upcoming trouble is through test scores.
If your child consistenly gets above 90s,
everything is fine; between 80 - 90,
you may have some test-taking problems, a small one maybe; but
between 70 and 80,
there's some fundation 'holes'. Below 70,
that is really a warning sign.
Having dealt with my own math struggle,
and gone through the frustration, and then able to experience
the freedom to pursue the space telescope design program
here at UA, I want all my students
to have the same freedom to pursue
their own passion. So there, you have it!
their own passion. So there, you have it!
I hope this has been a helpful presentation for you.

precious. They're a lot work, but
they grow up so fast. So for
you parents out there - I APPRECIATE YOU.
