Kindergarten Math Tutoring

As our students step into Kindergarten, we are committed to nurturing a love for numbers and problem-solving through engaging, hands-on experiences. Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to support your child's growth, building a strong foundation in fundamental math concepts.

At Big Sky Tutoring, our supplemental instruction is always aligned to the Montana Mathematics Content Standards. These provide a guideline for each grade level's instructional goals. Our tutors aim to ensure every student meets the standards for their appropriate grade level. We also work, as best we can, to align our supplemental lessons with what students are currently learning in the classroom, to make sure they are grasping concepts while they are learning them at school; This way, we can prevent any learning gaps and ensure students do not fall behind.

We know that it can be daunting for parents to fully understand what their child should know at each developmental stage. To make sure you understand key topics your child should master by the end of kindergarten, we have summarized Montana's key standards for kindergarteners below. If your Kindergartener is struggling with any of the following topics, we highly recommend starting tutoring now. Early intervention is key to ensuring your child has a strong foundation of math skills as they progress through elementary school.

Why Choose Our Program?

As mentioned previously, Kindergarten is a time for students to gain foundational math skills. According to a 2022 study at University of Pittsburg, "Children who enter school with lower levels of mathematical skills typically continue to underperform and tend to take fewer high-level math courses compared to their peers." It's critical for your child to enter first grade with mastery and confidence in their math abilities.

Kindergarten math is more than just numbers; It is about exploring the world, developing problem-solving skills, and nurturing curiosity. We believe in creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where every child feels valued and inspired.

Our tutors will customize their teaching style and curriculum to meet your child exactly where they are; They'll become your teammate in developing your child's academic abilities. We will lay the groundwork for lifelong learning and success in mathematics. Together, we can make math a magical experience for your little one!
