Methodology:

 
Milwaukee Knowledge Builders method incorporates five different techniques (mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written) to create a user-friendly approach to teach the fundamentals of math and science.
 
Mental:
 
Problem solving is simplified for students so they know when to take a mental short cut and when  to dig in to a problem with pencil and paper.
 
Verbal:
 
Being able to speak in terms of mathematics and science is vital to a student’s success. Students are taught mathematical and scientific concepts and terms used in the theory, to explain their thought process and reasoning when problem solving.
 
Visual:
 
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and many times concepts are easier to understand if you have a visual frame of reference. From simple addition and subtraction to trickier fraction problems, sometimes pictures of models or toys are easier to work with than numbers and symbols. This visual learning will ease the student in to basic problem working and once they start working with numbers, the concepts will be old friends that they recognize from their visual problem solving
 
Tactile:
 
Milwaukee Knowledge Builders uses easily accessible, every-day tools to assist in teaching basic math and science skills. Card and board games will help teach basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with understandable, real world applications.
 
Written:
 
Written practice with computation (“drill�) is a necessary component of mathematics education. In addition to in-session, supervised drills, all students will be given a worksheet at the end of each session to practice what they learned and also give them a preview of the next lesson. There will also be the opportunity to “grade the teacher� with feed-back requests that will ensure that each student is getting what they need from their personal Knowledge Builder
 
Attitude and Self-Esteem:
 
Many students claim to “hate math and science.�  Kids don’t really hate the subjects, they hate being frustrated and confused by them. The best way to reverse this feeling and build self-esteem and a positive attitude is to determine the correct learning starting point.  By starting with simple, easily accessible applications, you allow the student to have successful experiences which will make them less resistant to future lessons.
