What are the math gaps?

gaps are persistent weaknesses in the foundational math disciplines: Geometry, Algebra, Pre-Algebra and Statistics.

“We can’t expect students to excel in math when basic foundational skills are missing. We need intentional, targeted practice to reinforce these foundations and fill the math gaps.”

~ Matt Miklius, PhD & founder of the think tank

here’s the situation…

Meet Tom…

MEET TOM!

Tom is a sophomore in Trigonometry. But he’s having trouble because he never learned about triangle geometry; that was a “COVID topic.”

Meet Julia…

MEET JULIA!

Julia is a Junior in the same Trigonometry class, but fractions are her arch-nemesis.

Meet Mr. Jones…

The Think Tank Prep, Student Academic Support, Student Resources, Prep School, Tutoring

MEET MR. JONES!

He’s the Trigonometry teacher, and he’s trying to get his class to understand trig substitution, which requires a grasp of geometry and fractions. He has 100+ students, and he is just trying to keep up with the daily lesson plans.

But how can he teach this year’s class and fill the gaps, too?

now, let’s introduce Tom, Julia, & Mr. Jones to the
fill the math GAPS  program…

Tom is engaged!

TOM IS ENGAGED!

Tom completes his quiz and gets immediate results. Tom now knows his core challenge and can address it with “fill the GAPS” video tutorials and practice.

Julia is confident!

JULIA IS CONFIDENT!

Julia takes the same quiz, but since she makes different mistakes, her dashboard reveals her challenges.  Julia’s confidence grows as she overcomes her weaknesses via repetition and video lessons.

Mr. Jones is happy!

MR. JONES IS HAPPY!

Mr. Jones gives his students the weekly “fill the GAPS” quiz. He uses it to identify foundational skill weaknesses, showing him:

  1. which students need interventions and
  2. where his whole class needs further instruction.

Mr Jones is happy that TRIGONOMETRY IS FINALLY STARTING TO STICK.
