WARM-UPS

We recommend beginning each lesson with a short warm-up. Warm-ups are optional.

A warm-up is a 5-minute (or less) self-grading quiz that allows your tutor to identify problem areas that interfere with the proper development of mathematical skills in the future.

All the concepts and skills listed below are expected to be known by students by the end of grade 8. However, if students learned mathematics ineffectively in the past, new skill acquisition becomes very difficult in grades 9-12 as the pace and volume of knowledge becomes increasingly more intense.

Once a problem is identified it's easy to correct from there and build a strong foundation.

Try out a few or all warm-ups and check your score.
