Calculus and math language

RISK | Math without language barriers

RISK is a digital math method for non-native speakers in ISK. The method distinguishes math “where the language is left out as much as possible” and math “with language". Thus, students work on their math skills without experiencing a language barrier, as in many general math methods.

In the 'language' section, where math and language come together, as many basic concepts needed to understand the sum as possible are offered. The sentences of context sums are short, there is no written instruction, but there is visual and audio support. 

The structure in RISK is such that in principle, after achieving a satisfactory result, a student can make the next assignment using the knowledge and skills previously acquired.

Also as a regular math method

RISK is for both beginning and advanced math learners and can be used as a regular math method. With attention to basic skills such as counting, addition and multiplication but also contextual arithmetic and the basics of mathematics. You determine the starting situation of the student through the entry tests and pre-setters.

Autonomy and direct feedback

Within RISK, each student works independently at their own level on their own learning goal. Because RISK gives the student direct feedback for each assignment, the student is motivated to continue or choose a different strategy. He is in control! Each student works in their own environment, thus there is plenty of room for differentiation and the teacher has room for customized guidance.
