Abaarso Tech: improving mental maths in Somaliland
January 4, 2012 · 4 Comments
HARGEISA — Abaarso Tech After School Tutoring, an affiliate of Abaarso Tech, found that students who attended the After-School program for 20 or more days improved their mental math addition capabilities by an average of 71%. Jake Galloway, Director of AT After School Tutoring said, “With so much quantifiable improvement after just 1 term, we cannot help but get excited about where our After School Tutoring students’ math capabilities will end up in a few years.”
The mathematical portion of AT After School improves students’ fundamentals by mastering the building blocks of math, and only adding complexity when the student is ready to handle the higher level. Through this process students learn number sense that will help them when it comes to advanced math as well as using math in their day-to-day world.
Math is just 4 hours of the 9 hours that AT After School Tutoring students learn each week. The remaining hours are spent on English and logical thinking. Quantifiable data for those courses will be available at the end of next term.
AT: After School Tutoring will continue to provide the primary school students of Hargeisa with a high quality, skill development program. Classes will resume on January 14, 2012. Please contact Jake Galloway (4769330) for more information.

Maths is very important, I encourage Somaliland youths to take full advantage of this affordable programme by AT. Maths can give you access to wider range of subjects, career goals and options.
Somaliland desperately needs mathematicians. Maths is a culture, its a foundation, once you get the building blocks the rest will make sense. You gotto learn the tricks and its language because maths has its own language—its like English, in order to communicate you gotto learn English.
Sounds like a great and quantifiable Tutorial development …. keep up the good work!

THANKS Abaarso Tech After School – Team
AT — way to go! If you have not already, please introduce this site to your students. http://www.khanacademy.org/
It has more than math but very useful.
Maybe Abaarso should team up with Khan Academy in Somaliland because Khan Academy is trusted world wide and they have a proven record of success throughout the world.
