This week at DLFA, another student stepped into the world of BODMAS—and left with a toolkit of logic, confidence, and curiosity. The session began with a challenge: a string of numbers and symbols that looked chaotic at first glance. But with guidance, structure emerged.
Instead of diving straight into rules, the lesson unfolded through pattern recognition and mental math games. Each equation became a puzzle, each step a clue. The student quickly caught on to the rhythm of operations, identifying which parts to tackle first and why.
A breakthrough came during a timed activity, where speed met strategy. The student not only solved each expression correctly but began predicting outcomes before writing them down. That shift—from hesitation to anticipation—marked a leap in mathematical thinking.
DLFA’s tutoring isn’t just about teaching formulas. It’s about unlocking the mindset behind them. When students start seeing math as a language they can speak fluently, the results go far beyond the page.
