Math Masters
Building Confidence in Math, One Concept at a Time
Math Masters is a one-on-one math intervention program designed to support students—particularly those with suspected or diagnosed dyscalculia—through a structured, skills-based approach. Rooted in the principles of Orton-Gillingham math instruction, Math Masters breaks down abstract mathematical concepts into clear, concrete steps that support deep understanding and skill mastery.
Why Orton-Gillingham for Math?
While Orton-Gillingham is traditionally known for literacy intervention, its principles—explicit instruction, sequential progression, multisensory techniques, and individualized pacing—are highly effective in math instruction as well. This makes it especially powerful for students who struggle with numeracy, math anxiety, or dyscalculia. Our tutors are trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach to math, ensuring that instruction is consistent, cumulative, and tailored to each learner.
What Makes Math Masters Unique?
Multi-Module Design: The program is divided into manageable learning modules, allowing students to progress at a pace that suits their needs.
Scaffolded Instruction: Each session builds on prior knowledge, gradually increasing in complexity while reinforcing foundational skills.
Skills-Based Focus: Rather than delivering math content strictly by grade level, Math Masters emphasizes essential math skills and conceptual understanding that form the backbone of lifelong numeracy; as students progress, we build upon those skills.
Confidence-Building Approach: Our goal is to empower students with tools, strategies, and a mindset that help them feel capable and confident in math.
Although not curriculum-based, Math Masters aligns with Manitoba’s K–12 math curriculum. Tutors have access to grade-level outcomes and consult them to ensure students are supported in ways that complement their classroom experiences.
Who is it for?
Math Masters is ideal for:
Students with dyscalculia or math-based learning differences
Students struggling with math anxiety or gaps in understanding
Learners seeking foundational skill reinforcement or individualized attention
