Mom uses phone as prop to teach times tables, “WOW!”

FEEDBACK TODAY:
“I came across your youtube videos. While I was intrigued by all of them, the tic tac toe for 3′s and 7′s is what really got my attention. So, this morning I took a piece of paper and our telephone and showed her (my 3rd grader) your easy method during breakfast. Now as a parent, you know that there’s not much time on a school morning for breakfast, let alone 2 multiplication lessons. That’s how easy you made learning these times tables. Before breakfast was finished, my daughter was able to draw the tic tac toe tables herself and was excited about it! On the short 8 min ride to school I gave her my cell phone and after reviewing the 3′s and 7′s I showed her the 9′s and Wow! She did it just like that! I’m amazed that she learned this just from one of your videos. Thank you for seeing that children are wonderful learners who learn better outside the box. I am definitely going to be using more of your techniques in helping my daughter (and me too); can’t wait to help her create her own (EZ Times Table) chart.”
Thank You, Stephanie Mark, Relieved Mom of a Third Grader

GIGGLES while Learning Right Brain Math with Free Videos

Math GIGGLES comment yesterday on Youtube: “The “onesies” made my son giggle so much that he had to comment. What he didn’t say is how you “blew his mind” with all the tricks you teach. Thanks for posting the lessons. I had never been taught with the number wheel or tic-tac-toe format; I think these may just be the right tools for him to get over the hump of “memorizing” his multiplication tables. -Dave Taylor
Original comment yesterday by Dave’s son:
“Onesies 1:07 :0 lol”  (See video below)

Mister Numbers replies: I very intentionally give the Ones-Digits a nickname of the Onesies, and the Tens-Digits a nickname of the Tensies.

Ones-digits and Tens-digits are simple concepts with awkward formal names. Let’s be friends with these cool ideas that show us so many fun patterns that are learning tools. Onesies and Tensies are used in all Pattern Play Math to create the patterns.  I hope the nicknames of “Onesies” and “Tensies” catch on and helps kids learn math! The Patterns are so cool and help make understanding and learning math easier -MisterNumbers

FREE Video shows the Threes, Fours, Sixes, & Eights on MisterNumber’s EZ Times Table

MisterNumbers Color EZ Times Table by Pattern Play Math

Top Third of the EZ Times Table by MisterNumbers

What is the EZ Times Table? The EZ Times Table is the revolutionary right Brain approach to teaching math by MisterNumbers.
CLICK HERE to watch the video that shows how to create the Threes, Fours, Sixes, and Eights on the EZ Times Table. There is a link in that video for an earlier video creating the Ones and Twos on it.

“EZ Times Table (in Right Brain Math book) is a simple, systematic approach, which assists in memorization of multiplication facts. Review and repetition are built into each lesson. Using movement, rhythm, and visual patterns to explore multiplication, Thomas Biesanz has created a program to engage students of all learning styles. These patterns are a useful tool for multiplication mastery.”
-Linda Burks? www.math-mom.com


Kindergarden students have created and understood the whole times table up to 10 x 10 on the EZ Times Table. They used it to solve multiplication problems even though they didn’t even know what “times” meant when they started and hour earlier. The EZ Times Table can be created on graph paper. You can also buy the Right Brain Math book (a new expanded version of the EZ Times Table book) below that has all the blank tables with step-by-step directions, as well as 16 other playsheets and info on the Right Brain approach using Number Wheels and Tic Tac Toe Squares.

“LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT……I have a third grader and this is working like a charm. I, myself have learned the times tables better. I’m going to send this information to my daughters school. Thank you so very much.”
-Tiffany Hart

Adult Learners also Love Right Brain Math

CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN to woman’s 1 minute support for Right Brain Math  used with adult learners.
Phone call used with Deborah’s permission because she believes Right Brain Math could help many adults.
Feedback below from more adults (read while you listen to link above):

“I received your book yesterday, It’s totally amazing, I’m 34 years old and for the first time in my life I am finally understanding how numbers work and slowly my fear of numbers is lessening… Thank you Mister Numbers, You have just opened up a whole new world to me and I am so grateful.” — Clare C.

“32 is never to old to learn, especially when we’re playing with patterns. Thanx.” -Shaun Saintlove

My child responded to the right brain math DVD the same way I did, with absolute amazement. Everyone I have shown it to has been amazed. The visual presentation of times tables in patterns was so powerful to me as an adult.” -Cheryl, mom of 3 elementary students

“Hey Im 33 and I feel the same way. I was looking for my kids and this helped me as well!!! Love it.” -LLS

“I am a 32 yr old kid who is enlightened by your videos and entered into a new age of right brain math learning. I am dropping this mail to send my appreciation.” -Mrudula Valleti

“I hate to admit that at 74 it is suddenly getting to me that I can not do much math.  I have just ordered your ezmath book and hope that multiplication will appears easier, I have always been the same and I don’t know how I have got away with it for so long, I really would love to master it and maybe find out how to do division and so forth, I was so scared at school that I would make sure that I would be away with some complaint or other. I hope that I have started something that will help me feel better about it. Thank you. Kind Regards,” -Tricia P

“At 25 years old I am finally finding the ambition to memorize my multiplication tables. I struggled all through school with them and you have FINALLY made them easy!  I will spread the word to anyone who will listen! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!” – CJ Kize

Right Brain Math is not just for kids.
Many Adults struggle with the Old Math.
They don’t “get” the New Math taught to kids.

How do kids, teachers and parents respond to Right Brain Math?

Right Brain Math Masthead

These are recent quotes from Parents and Teachers who have bought the Right Brain Math book or Ebook or DVD

My daughter absolutely loves it! I think all children would benefit from this approach to math whether they are right or left brain learners. This approach offers a different way of looking at numbers and the way they work. You are actually able to see patterns, which makes learning addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division easier. I love the fact that math is presented visually which makes it easier for my daughter to understand. - Shannon, Homeschooler

My child responded to the right brain math DVD the same way I did, with absolute amazement. Everyone I have shown it to has been amazed. The visual presentation of times tables in patterns was so powerful to me as an adult. -Cheryl, mom of 3 elementary students and math geek

Some of my slower kids can work with the charts better. I am able to show the patterns and in turn show in a visual way why the answer is possible. I love the way we can produce our own times tables and its easy to predict the next chart. It would especially be good for elementary students and special ed. students. -Leonard, middle school teacher

I took the lessons and teach them to my nieces and nephews – and they LOVE it! My 7 year-old niece learned AND understood the times table fast!  Children sees the EZ Times Table as simple, easy to understand, to apply and most importantly: it’s DO-ABLE!  As a parent, I like it because it is easy to teach and fun. The connection between patterns and numbers really makes it easy to understand. Best of all, the feeling you get when a child “gets it” and how empowering it is to them is priceless! -Azizan, parent & a kid at heart who used to hate math!

Over the course of my teaching career, I have noticed that more and more of my students are right-brained. Math continues to be taught from a left-brained foundation, leaving many of the students clueless. This is most apparent when it comes to learning the multiplication tables. I have only introduced the EZ times tables to 7th graders so far and many of them responded positively. -Teacher, and also Parent of 5 year old in NY

I found the number wheel to be amazing. My child who loves math loved the videos and book. My reluctant math child (13 year old son) was hesitant but interested. I would love to see your approach more mainstream rather than an alternate approach. -Wendy Schulze, reading therapist who loves math

The (EZ Times) table breaks down each component of multiplication. My recommendation: the younger the child the more time they have to understand the subject, i would say 2-9 years old is a great age range. -Gus Morale, homeschooler of 1

Tic-Tac-Toe was a HIT!!!! She writes them quickly on the math homework sheets. Get the kids when they are YOUNG!!!!  This DVD and Workbook (Right Brain Math Book) could be a great tool to add in Math TEXTBOOKS. -Parent – with struggling math child

The pattern of multiplication is easier to see. The visualization really helped in seeing how the multiplication tables worked. As an adult, I learned!  The number wheel is a great visualization of how multiplication works. I think the RightBrain approach to multiplication was very good for my son’s age – which is 8. He is more of visual learner, so the method presented made it all “click” better. I wish his teacher had embraced the style rather than sticking to the standard “memorization” method. -Kristina, Parent of a 3rd grader

Very visual. Kids think it’s cool!! -Ellie, Year5/6teacher in England

The number wheel and tic-tac-toe videos gave us such a different view of times tables that it will be difficult to not remember them. It also gives you a way to recreate any times table by remembering a pattern. The worksheets are a great way for kids to “see” the way numbers work. My daughter quickly picked up the times tables she had struggled with so much with ease. The “games” are so fun for the kids. -Tina, Homeschooler of 3

He loved them! It’s such a cool way to learn the times tables–certainly not the way I was taught, which didn’t stick!! This is the first time I have ever found math fun! I think anyone could use it. -Parent of 4th grader in NY

She (my daughter) thought it was pretty cool. When she started to notice the patterns she was excited. Makes memorization easier. We are all visual spatial thinkers here and love all the help we can get! Make the public schools adhere to your way of teaching! I am going to introduce your materials to my third graders teacher on Friday. -Kristin, Mother of 3

Wish Math was taught to me this way in school. Making sense of math books given to kids, forcing them to read things that does not lay the foundations to understanding mathematics in whole, is a waste of time and an energy drainer. Video lessons were amazing as if playing games and learning math the same time. What I like the most in EZ Time Table is the patterns in math. No age bar, anyone can use Mister numbers. -Farzana Zia, student

Where was this when I was in School? The name say’s it all ……EZ! Until u see….  It all makes sense. Very hard to picture how easy it is. Anybody that wants to make sense of math could use it. Plus it is easier to explain to others. -Sonia Rodriguez, had trouble with math

My kids liked it and have done well with it. Tic-Tac-Toe and Number Wheels were fun and easy to understand……they made the math easier!  I like being able to copy the puzzles and and then I laminated them, and had the kids use erasable markers so they can reuse them without me having to make new copy. I did the same thing with the number line “T”(EZ Times Table). -a parent

My kids could do this all by themselves and it gave them a great sense of accomplishment. I have two boys aged 8 and 10.  My kids were apprehensive at first. Not another Math book! They soon saw this was different and were willing to give it a try. They both love the fact that they don’t need to “learn” the times tables now that they can reproduce the EZ Times Table. -Tania, Parent of 2, HI

I like how quickly my child learned the times tables and how she is able to recall the tricks a year later when she is struggling with a math problem. Great for kids who do not think they are good at math. This makes it easy. All those wiggly kids who having trouble sitting still in class or at home can use this technique easy and fast. -Shauna, Homeschooler of 2

My kids love how easy it is to learn times tables. The EZ Times Table is easy to explain and straight forward. I recommend this for teachers, parents, students. -Josie, Home Schooler

I personally enjoyed watching the MisterNumbers videos and wished I had known about these tips as a child. My child enjoyed the EZ Times Table book because of the easy to understand patterns.  It provides a different way of looking at multiplication, other than just pure memorization of math facts.  I think it is a good approach for children aged 6 and up. Even younger children can benefit if they already have good number sense. -Mother of 7-year-old girl who knows her times tables

I like the demonstration of how the times tables of certain numbers are relative to other tables, especially on the simplified version in the back. I have shown the method to friends that claim to be awful at math, and that OOOO look that they get on their face when they see the it, is priceless. I also like the empowerment that it gives a person. To be able to create a complete times table in 2 minutes or less is an awesome tool. I purchased these products to help my 4th grader who loves math but is struggling with memorization of times tables, and because I found them extremely interesting. -Cheryl, mom of 3 elementary students

New Animated Right Brain Math Video: Nines on a Number Wheel, less than 3 minutes

Awesome New animated video by MisterNumbers Right Brain Math

The video below shows how the Nines have fun patterns on a Number Wheel. Every time you go around 9 on a Number Wheel, you can get to the same place by going backwards 1 (because there are ten numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0 on the Wheel,  1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7 and 4 and 6 all create the same patterns starting and ending at zero). Watch the video below and click here for more MisterNumbers videos.
“Cool” andSuper Fun!” are comments already on this awesome video that went up yesterday (66 views already).

The video also includes the Ones because it creates the same decagon. Then it shows a neat way to create the Nines from a simple pattern. It also shows a trick with the Nines (that numbers divisible by 9, add up to 9). It does all this in under 3 minutes.
