About AIM Math
Created by parents, written by experienced math teachers, and trusted by schools all over Nepal.
Authorized agent for AIM Math in Nepal
Concepta Educational International, Kathmandu, is an authorized agent for AIM Math in Nepal. Established in 2010, Concepta Educational International aims to promote after-school educational resources in Nepal. We promote our goal in partnership with local schools, colleges, and other educational institutions.
Presently we are working or partnering with more than 300 private and public schools in Nepal to promote AIM Math, with thousands of students all over Nepal using or practicing with AIM Math books every day.
Not a regular math book
AIM Math follows the Nepali math curriculum, but is written and created by American math teachers and curriculum experts — and based on psychologist Jerome Bruner's easy step-by-step learning theory.
Supplementary workbook
AIM Math is a supplementary math workbook used to enhance the math skills of students alongside regular lessons.
Teacher training
Our Teacher Training Program focuses on HOW TO TEACH MATH effectively and meaningfully, with an achievement test and certificates for participating teachers.
Timed worksheets
A backward & forward mechanism lets each child begin at their own level, and timing on every two-page worksheet builds self-learning and study habits.
A simple weekly rhythm
Teachers and parents both get an equal chance to take part in the learning process. Weekly tests show the actual level a student has reached — whether to repeat a level or move higher.
Dear Parents, congratulations!
You have taken a huge step toward improving the math skills of your child. AIM Math programs are designed as a step-by-step math learning approach, and our systematically designed program will take your child to higher levels without them even noticing it. Please follow these suggestions:
Recommendation: if your child seems to be struggling in a program, we suggest that they move back one level and repeat the previous math program.
- Starting level. Begin from Level 1, or any level lower than your child's actual ability. Reviewing easier concepts builds confidence and a strong foundation.
- Repeat until mastered. Each program has a suggested time frame and accuracy goal. Repetition builds confidence and boosts mental ability.
- Never rush through levels. Practice makes perfect. Move up only when your child completes the program accurately and quickly.
We are parents, just like you
Our children are dear to us, and we understand how important a strong base in math is for their success. A few years ago we began looking for the ideal math program to help with our children's studies.
We were in regular contact with math tutoring programs such as Kumon, Sylvan, Aloha and Mathnasium, among others. After a couple of months of research we chose a math center — but soon we were spending hours every day driving and waiting. We found that many tutors were unqualified, often just college or high-school students, and these programs cost around $100 to $500 a month.
It was while waiting for our children in a math tutoring center that we thought of creating a math program that would save other parents' time and money, and help them spend more time with their children. This is where the idea of AIM Math found its roots.
What we wanted
A program that starts at each child's level, covers the full curriculum, progresses gradually, offers enough problems without repetition, includes worked samples and challenging problems, and builds self-learning habits.
What we found online
Too few practice sheets, incomplete curriculum, no clear start or end points, disorganized and repeated problems — and monthly fees even when unused.
So we approached experienced, qualified math teachers and curriculum experts. Research, design and creation of the program took almost three years. With input from other parents, we developed three types of program:
Step-by-step math enrichment program
A properly created math program which helps a child start from his or her own math level and move to the next level at a gradual pace while learning every concept.
Activity specific math enrichment program
Designed for children who are behind in certain skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division — giving them every opportunity to sharpen those skills and move steadily to the next level.
Grade specific math enrichment program
The ideal program when you want to sharpen your child's skills through additional homework, with plenty of opportunity to solve and master math problems.
Today, an increasing number of parents are using AIM Math and reporting extremely positive results. We strongly believe AIM Math will not only meet, but exceed, your expectations.
