The ALGO Method
ALGO is a teaching system that has been developed in Japan. Its focus is on improving mathematical ability and logical thinking. It was developed in response to the Children's Maths Olympics, and indeed enjoys the support of the innagural Maths Olympics champion, Peter Frankle.
Our school uses a variety of ALGO materials in our lessons. As mentioned, these are primarily mathematical problems. However, they are more than simple addition and subtraction. These problems require a logical approach in order to solve them, and it is this method of thinking that we aim to nuture.
The activites include mathematical worksheets, number games, 2D and 3D shape recognition and mapping, as well as numerous smaller activities. Futher information can be found at the ALGO Club website (Japanese only).
