Edugraff’s Methodology 

Some students forget their basics due to a lack of concentration or a lack of love for mathematics. Having a good practice of the subject helps students to score well. Edugraff promises to be a learning guide for all students, which will help them grow step by step for advanced learning. Also, the teachers at Edugraff create a follow-up on oral as well as mental math. The Mathematics kit provided will include pictorial representations (for topics like number system,  algebra, geometry, mensuration, and data handling), worksheets, revision of previous chapters, sample papers, and also the use of digital teaching aids helping them to get acquainted with the details about subjects they have to study. Furthermore, students can solve their doubts through doubt-solving sessions where our experienced and competent teachers are continually at work with a promise to solve them within 2-10 hours, keeping in mind the time difference between countries.

Skills that our students learn

We, at Edugraff, strive for perfection and our key ingredient is to give lots of practice sums and word problems developing a love for this subject. With the passing of the days, parents will witness that their child is gaining more clarity for each subject and has mastered problem-solving skills, and has also developed subject knowledge which urges them to score full marks.
The era of a traditional textbook for effective learning is now replaced by new digital teaching aids enabling different styles of solving mathematics problems. Watch one of our online mathematics tutorials filled with illustrations, examples, and even humor to understand why Edugraff is the ultimate online tutoring for your prodigy.

FAQ :

1.   Is Mathematics ICSE Grade 7 a nightmare?
No, if the student puts in the same amount of effort as the teacher then he/she need not worry further. Without proper understanding, Mathematics turns out to be an obstacle rather than an opportunity. Hence, listening carefully and jotting down notes when tutors teach at our portal help to comprehend the chapters easily.
 
2.    How much time should be dedicated to mathematics studies?
 Mathematics can be learned only through the constant practice of sums.
Edugraff provides hundreds of exercise items with fully worked-out solutions and explanations for online pupils. Also, a 10-minute revision every day will work wonders and the pupil will succeed with flying colors.

3.    How many books to refer to for success?
 Edugraff is happy to make a study timetable for mathematics and will also do sums and clear doubts for students referring to other books. Their vast knowledge can be tapped for this purpose.

4.    How to evaluate a child's progress?
The best way to evaluate is to see the way the student uses mathematics in his daily life. When the pupil applies mental math to solve daily transactions it means that he has understood the chapter thoroughly and has involved himself to solve it.

5.    How is the session conducted?
The topic is introduced and then gradually picks up pace.
The student is engaged in this interactive video session followed by feedback. The session is concluded with more practice sums whose solutions are provided in the next lecture.
