The MATH-Inic Online Making Math Fun, Fast & Easy!

The MATH-Inic Online is a system for learning Math the fun, fast and easy way. It is a learning enhancement program that complements the way traditional Math is taught as it uses visual instead of analytical and focuses more on patterns.  The name MATH-Inic represents what the program stands for. It is both a play on the Filipino idiom ‘matinik’—meaning sharp-witted or skilled—and an acronym for MATH-Indian Numeration-Instant Calculation.

The system currently offers 2 subscriptions parent can choose from – Math Builder and the Math Booster.

Math Builder is recommended for students with entry level knowledge such as counting, and simple addition in Math. It is recommended for children 7 to 10 years old, or Kinder to Grade 4. Math Booster is designed for students from Grades 4 – 7 or those who already know the basics and are now ready to learn how to turbo boost their math calculations.

Here are some items you should know about MATH-Inic System:

Monthly Subscription

Whether you decide to get the Math Builder or the Math Booster, monthly subscription fee is at Php 997/ month. They are now offering 1 month free trial. Fees are accepted thru Paypal or bank deposits.

Teacher’s Module

The subscription comes with a teachers manual that can guide the parents. With this, parents can browse on the modules and quizzes before they go thru the lessons with their kids.

Staggered Lessons

The lessons are staggered based on when your subscription is activated. There were 6 available lessons from the start and the next 3 lessons were scheduled to have their release dates 6 days after. The lessons are in video format that last about 3-4 minutes.

There are 37 lessons in Math Builder which can be finished in 2 months following the release dates. Of course, we have to consider the age/skill of your child as some lesson may not be applicable yet. As for us, as we are just entering first grade this end of year, the multiplication and division lessons towards the later part of the module is not yet applicable.

Practice Worksheets

The system provides the downloadable and printable resources for practice. These worksheets can be used to check the mastery of the concepts. This is a nice supplement as the kids can try and write the answers instead of just typing in the answers.

Quizzes

Quizzes are composed of 10 questions. You need to get at least 80% or 8 out of 10 questions correctly to pass and proceed to the next lesson. To promote mastery, there’s an unlimited number of times you can take the quiz.

We like it that if for some reason you cannot finish the quiz and stop at the middle, the system saves your answer and you can resume at a later time. You will be asked to review the questions you finished and proceed to the numbers that you need to answer. We hope that in the next updates, they can also optimize page performance so it would load faster.

We have been using the MATH-Inic Math Builder for about 3 weeks already.We recommend using this when your child can already recognize numbers, knows how to count and can understand the concept of simple addition and subtraction. Knowing how to read will also be an advantage as counting and using the Whole Number Table is the just the same as reading sentences in a book.

It’s good for visual learners. Most of the lessons make use of the whole number table that’s a great tool for visualizing the patterns in numbers.

Since the lessons and teacher’s modules are released on staggered dates, you cannot check the lessons included in the module way ahead of time if it is not yet released. You also cannot skip lessons, you have to finish lesson 1, pass the quiz and then you can proceed to next lesson. While I believe that practice is needed for mastery,  it would also be great to have the flexibility to choose and/or skip lessons.

If you decide to stop the subscription and continue some time in the future, you will be able to continue from where you left off. This is very useful for younger kids, since you don’t need the lessons at the later part (like the multiplication and division of the Math Builder), and you can just sign up again once they are on the appropriate level.

The MATH-Inic system is a good complement for Math lessons, especially if you want to teach your child speed math. With the lessons, kids will learn techniques to make solving basic arithmetic operations in an easy and fast way. MATH-Inic makes learning Math fun!

MATH-Inic also offers special Math classes for pre-school, elementary, high school and college-age students in their various learning centers.
