MisterNumbers (author Tom Biesanz) presented at the California Math Council (CMC) Convention Dec 6th in Monterey. CMC is the largest affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of Math (NCTM) in the country. Most teachers that attended rated the 90 minute workshop as “EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS” and are excited to teach Right Brain Math visual patterns and “big pictures” to students 2nd-12th grade.
Some of their comments were:
“Great way to break down the multiplication chart! I can’t wait to show my students!”
“Nice way of looking at patterns. You created visuals I hadn’t seen before. Believe me, many H.S. students struggle with multiplication still.”
“So easy to understand. Good handouts. Good ideas for my struggling students. I will use these.”
“Awesome workshop. EZ Times Table is an excellent tool to teach students math.”
“Enjoyed the presentation. I feel that these concepts will be beneficial to me in helping my students (5/6) better learn multiplication facts.”
“Great Ideas. Very Useful. Have him back!”
“I appreciate the connection to other math concepts, like factors.”
“Teaching HS, I see a lot of students who struggle w/multiplying. They still love visuals, puzzles & games though, so I’m anxious to show them your ideas! Thank You!”
“WOW”
“I will use this with my low level 6th grade math.”
“Great Concept!”
“Excellent Workshop. Great tool for teaching students their times tables. EZ Times Table Rocks!”
