Right Brain Math:an EZ way to learn numbers

Check out the new Magic Blackboard videos on Youtube. Great videos and great teaching tool.

  EZ Times Table teaches by playing with fun patterns. Traditional math instruction relies mainly on rote memory work. Many kids get turned off to math. The USA math results are falling behind other countries. EZ Times Table is a revolutionary visual and auditory introduction to math. Kids only need to count to ten and know that 2, 4, 6, 8, and 0 are the even numbers to create for themselves the whole times table. Kids as young as kindergarten enjoy making the EZ Times Table (see MisterNumbers on Youtube). Students generate a structure for numbers, based on the Ones and Twos, that makes sense to a child’s brain.

 This right-brain approach presents instructions, additional information for parents/teachers, and a full 8.5″ x11″ table for each step, detailing the result with playful graphics on the side. Employing the EZ Times Table, the book then shows how to use it to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, factors, squares, place value, prime numbers, and more.

  EZ Times Table continues the pattern play. It uses a Tic-Tac-Toe square to create the 3’s and 7’s. It invites kids to use pattern play to create the 2’s, 4’s, 6’s, 8’s, and 9’s, and ends with instructions to create a 20 x 20 multiplication table simply from patterns. Free Instructional videos are available on Youtube by MisterNumbers and a DVD is available on the website. This approach effectively teaches math.  It promotes a crucial, positive attitude toward numbers. EZ Times Table also teaches pattern recognition, important in all learning, in a fun whimsical way.

The EZ Times Table book and DVD are useful to parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to help a kid have fun with math.
