We believe it is important to give children a taste for mathematics. At Saint-Pierre de Chaillot we provide advanced mathematics instruction from kindergarten on.
Mental arithmetic is particularly important in our school. We have set up a special program around the Japanese abacus that our students learn to use from kindergarten on.
In this way, children gradually develop quick calculation strategies that will serve them in all areas of their lives. These daily exercises, which go beyond the national program, force them to develop brain capacities that were previously unknown to them.
Students develop expertise that makes them proud and comfortable with math. They appreciate this subject which they master much better thanks to these ancestral and innovative methods.
