Thinkwell’s approach to teaching and learning mathematics blends conceptual understanding with procedural fluency.
Overall, we aim to strike a balance between concepts and procedures in our content, which allows students to develop the skills and knowledge needed for success in mathematics.
We recognize the importance of building a strong conceptual foundation when learning math. Prof. Burger emphasizes the "why" behind mathematical principles in the video lectures so that our students can develop a comprehensive understanding of the ideas underpinning the subject.
We also believe in the benefits of procedural fluency, recognizing that mathematical proficiency requires not only understanding but also the ability to apply procedures accurately and efficiently. Through systematic practice, students master various mathematical techniques, ensuring they can solve problems confidently and accurately.
