Get An Advantage Academy
Get an Advantage Developmental Programme – July – August 2018
Funding required to secure facilities at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology to
conduct programme.
Project Goals:
To help students have a greater appreciation for mathematics and how mathematics can be applied in
everyday life. The programme seeks to assist students struggling with mathematics. The problem starts
at the primary level where students are taught to attempt an examination instead of mastering
mathematical concepts. By the time the students reach secondary school the issues that should have
been dealt with at the primary level have now compounded and become a significant issue in their
academic progress.
- Mental mathematics develops automatic recall, mastery of which develops critical higher-level
thinking. - Students learn to work in small groups to problem solve.
Students develop their logical thinking - Adolescence and teens aged 11 to 18. The programme aims to cater to a maximum of 60 students
