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

Amazon reviews of MisterNumbers Pattern Play Math Book, “Right Brain Math”

What are parents and teachers saying about the Right Brain Math book by Tom Biesanz, aka MisterNumbers, on Amazon?

Amazon feedback for Right Brain Math, 4.9 stars
Right Brain Math: A Fun, Easy, Visual Approach to Math

Right Brain Math, the ebook

“It’s already a big hit with my favorite kiddos! Thank you for giving a non-visually-oriented math geek some fun tricks to show the visual-spatial kids in my life.” –Karynna Lynne

“Has already helped my little girl. Very good book.” –Alfredo Spencer

“After using the inital table with my students I decided I should get the DVD also. MrNumbers answered the phone and took care of the order. I got the DVD and it is awesome. My kids love what little we have done. They are learning and having fun!” –Delia Ybarra

“All I can say is THANKS!! I’ve needed a tool like this for my child.” –Shannon Staton

“The order arrived promptly and complete…even with extra worksheets. THANKS!” –Michelle Hadfield

“It is a interesting way of teaching math. Creative and seems fun.” -Semi Kim

“Book arrived faster than advertised, and was just what was promised.” –David Sailer

“He accidentally sent me two books, and told me to just keep the second one for some one who needs it. Excellent seller, I feel like he is more concerned with children learning than money. Book is great, shipping was fast, and service was courteous.” –Mandy Cole

“I like this innovative way to use patterns to answer multiplication problems. I only wish a more advanced book could be created as well. My kids found it to be neat but they ran through it too fast because they are older 10 – 13. If younger children use this method, it will benefit them really well.” -Kenyatta Edwards

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish This Book Was Available When I Was In School! “Finally, a book written for right brained thinkers! Studies have shown that math is the most difficult subject for people to learn. It’s one of the main reasons students fail or drop out of college or even high school. This is especially true if you’re a creative person. You may excel at writing, reading, music, or other right brained subjects but math is a constant struggle.
In Right Brain Math: A Fun, Easy, Visual Approach to Math the author makes learning basic math fun and easy by using a visual approach. Getting kids to memorize multiplication tables and other math problems isn’t really learning, it’s just memorizing. But when they can SEE the patterns it all makes sense. Once they have a solid foundation in the basics it makes learning higher math much easier.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, fun and simple! “I must say that I fell in love with Right Brain Math! This is an amazing easy to understand visual approach to learning math. The connection between patterns and numbers really makes it easy to understand. I am so happy to actually able to recognize patterns, which makes learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division easier. Thanks for showing me new strategies to make numbers fun and simple.” -Kim Hale

Right Brain Math Book and Ebook and MisterNumbers DVDI highly recommend MisterNumbers Pattern Play Math DVD as a companion to the Right Brain Math book. The hour long DVD goes through most of the worksheets in the book simply and clearly. The Right Brain Math book is $12.95 on Amazon. You can get the combo of the Right Brain Math book and MisterNumbers Pattern Play Math DVD for $17.95 on the website ($3.95 shipping). OR get the ebook version of the book AND the DVD (pdf version for your computer that makes for easy printing of worksheets) and save $2 on shipping.

Check out MisterNumbers Pattern Play Math 5 -star  videos, many animated.  (over 600,000 views)

5 Star feedback for Wheel Math App by Right Brain Math

Filed under Teachers,iPhone apps

The price is only $ .99 and overall feedback for Wheel Math App by MisterNumbers is a full five stars! (See comments on iTunes below). 8-10 year olds love it. Also 15 year olds love it. Many Teachers and parents love it. Even a 3 year old says “I want to do the Threes!”  People love the easy touch numbers, the simple display of patterns, the giggle-inducing kids voices, and are amazed at the fascinating patterns it reveals. An awesome experience at a great price. Here are some individual responses:

rCLICK THE WHEEL TO GO TO SEE THE APP ON ITUNES ( to see more screenshots or buy).

Wheel Math iPhone App by Right Brain Math feedback 1

Makes math fun! App visually shows how the decimal system works in a circular way and makes the times tables easy to learn. A great tool and “wheel” fun. Also check out the useful videos.

This is an app my 11 year old can enjoy. Most of the math apps are easy and bore her quickly. This one makes her think and take her time. Great fun even for adults

test

Nice app for kids learning multiplication, it is fun and I saw big improvements of my 6 and 8 years kids. Great and thank you!

yes

I love the playful nature of this app and how it shows these interesting relationships between numbers on a wheel. Makes learning about numbers fun for kids of all ages. My 15 year old son likes it too. For visual learners like myself, this tool will be a big help learning multiplication and just enjoying the beauty of numbers.

r

This app makes multiplication fun for kids and kids at heart. The patterns quickly emerge, and as an adult, I saw the fascinating patterns that the different numbers take on the wheel. I also was interested in creating, and then viewing with my own eyes, the interconnected relationships between multiplication, addition, and subtraction. It’s a whole new way to think about math- easier and prettier than the way I learned in school. Also my three-year-old likes the sounds, and can do the number wheel himself since the application is easy to follow; he says “ I want to do the threes!” Although clearly he cannot enjoy it on as many levels as I can, we both definitely like it.

Albert Einstein was a Famous Right Brain Mathematician?

I make a statement in one of my videos about Albert Einstein, a famous mathematican, being a “flaming right-brainer.” Yes, Einstein is known for his Physics. But it is also true that a google search for “Einstein” and “Mathematics” yields about 3,960,000 hits. Almost 4 million hits should establish Einstein as a famous mathematician (maybe not a great one). Math and Physics work together. Einstein often thought in pictures and played with equations in his mind for weeks. Continue Reading »
