What IGRAMATICA is all about?

Here in our Club we believe that all kids are already mathematicians. Every child has a huge imagination. He or she is full of energy and enthusiasm. They are persistent, fascinated with strange outcomes, and are out to explore the “what-if” scenarios. There are always small and fascinating mathematical models in their pretty heads. And these are the qualities of good mathematicians!

As for maths itself, it is one of the most adventurous and exiting science a young child can experience. Maths can be surprising, exotic, unpredictable, breathtaking adventure that will take your child to the completely new level of thinking. If right presented, maths can open new horizons to your child.

Unfortunately most of the time maths is not presented this way. Indeed, children are required to develop their mathematical skills rather than being encouraged to work on mathematical state of mind or mathematical way of thinking.

More often children are introduced to the maths, starting with counting, shapes, and simple patterns. In the process, everything else mathematical stays behind “for when the kids are ready.” For the most kids, that readiness never comes. Their maths stays simplified and limited. The excitement of an adventure is replaced by the tedious and scrupulous work. As a result children consider maths as something terribly difficult and scary.

What exactly happens with early maths is that children learn primitive, simplistic maths which can be boring not only to children, but to adults as well.

We offer your children another way of thinking about maths. We want to create rich, multi-sensory, deeply mathematical experiences for young children. We can teach you how to stage exciting, meaningful and beautiful early maths experiences.

In our club you will learn how to make rich mathematical properties of everyday objects accessible to young children. Everything around you becomes a learning instrument, a prompt full of possibilities for maths improvisation, a conversation starter. The everyday world of children turns into a mathematical playground.

There are so many interesting and exciting things that you can find around yourself and turn them into the maths fun. Fractals, symmetry, recursion, combinatorics and calculus and many other mathematical things can be explained in a play way. Paint chips come in beautiful gradients, and floor tiles form tessellations. Bedtime routines turn into children’s first algorithms.

Noticing and exploring maths becomes a lot more interesting, even addictive. Unlike simplistic maths that quickly becomes boring, these deep experiences remain fresh, because they grow together with children’s and parents’ understanding of maths.

So, can maths be interesting? Absolutely! Can your children be strong at advanced maths? They are natural geniuses at some aspects of it!How can you help your child to understand, enjoy and be friends with maths?
