Right Brain Math:an EZ way to learn numbers

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:

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

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!

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.

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.

“All four of my children love the Wheel Math app.  Using number patterns to create shapes is both great fun and a fantastic way of learning multiplication.  My children, like most children, love to think creatively.  Wheel Math allows them to do this in a constructive manner with real results.  It also teaches them to understand how patterns can be found and followed in almost anything!”     -Mom to 4 homeschoolers

Below is the insight graphic from Youtube on MisterNumbers Right-Brained Math videos showing over a quarter million views. All the videos are rated 5 star, many are animated, and all focus on visual and auditory patterns to learn the times tables. 

Where Mister Number videos are viewed

Only 41% of the views are in the United States, and half of the top 10 countries are not even English speaking countries. Words can confuse kids, but pictures or a video SHOW them. Note that the average age of viewers is 40, which suggests that many viewers are teachers and parents, which means each viewer may be teaching Right Brain Math to 1-200 kids.  There will be several new videos on the Youtube site soon. Check it out.

As Mister Numbers (Tom Biesanz), I made a 90 minute presentation last weekend (Nov 6, 2009) at California’s biggest math teachers convention (California Math Council Convention South in Palm Springs). The capacity crowd of teachers rated the material outstanding (6 on a 1-6 scale) and here are some of their comments:

“This was a “WOW!” moment for me. Excellent class- wish I learned this 20 years ago”.
“Excellent! I came looking for something to enrich my thinking. I got it!”
“Fun. Innovative”.
“I think the patterns are great, nice for students to start noticing patterns visually”
“Great concept to teach”.
“Exciting stuff – Kids need this!”
“Fascinating, it will really help my kids in understanding number relationships and times tables, inside and out.”
“Great. Very interesting. I liked all the patterns.”
“Very Practical”
“Very exciting. I want to play with the number wheel”
“EZ Times Tables are Interesting. Great Tables.”
“Good demonstration of the right brain math.”
“I loved it! I will use it this week.”
“This was amazing! I’m definitely taking it back to use. I wish it was longer!”
p.s. It was a 90 minute presentation)

Mister Numbers teachings are available to you for only $17.95 on his website. That includes the book, hour DVD, and 8 extra worksheets beyond those in the book. And there are 3 more free worksheets to download from his website: MisterNumbers.com

There was a comment about modular arithmetic and digital roots on Youtube. It brings up some fun looks at math. Modular arithmetic is a clock view of numbers. When a clock goes past 12, it goes back to 1. Right Brain Math uses this with a ten base to create the number wheel. But then the fun begins. It goes around the wheel with the Fours and Sixes, but then we can also see it go in a star pattern to create the Fours and Sixes. The Twos and Eights go in a pentagon shape in opposite directions. The Threes and Sevens make a fancy star, again in opposite directions.
Digital roots are a system of adding the digits of a number, then adding again, until only 1 digit remains (the digital root). Look at the Nines to 90 for a useful pattern: 09, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. They all add up to 9. Tic-tac-toe squares are definitely not modular arithmetic, nor digital roots. However, look at the digital roots of the 3’s on the tic-tac-toe squares for fascinating patterns. Every number in the columns in the first square adds up 3-6-9. The second square to 6-9-3, the 3rd square to 9-6-3, and the 4th square would add up to 3-6-9 again. I might make a video about digital roots. There is an example below. The left side is the Threes on a Tic-tac-toe square from the video. The right side repeats the left (Threes), but it converts each number to digital roots. See that every set of 3 numbers adds up to 3 or 6 or 9. Notice that 66 is 6 + 6 = 12 which is further reduced to1 + 2 = 3.  Try it. Numbers are fun!

I was reading Betty Edwards, who wrote “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”. Students “trick” the left brain to give up control by copying a drawing upside down. The right brain can then draw all the lines and details. There is an “AHA!” when the student turns the drawing upside right and suddenly sees, all at once, the whole picture. The same thing happens to students who play with patterns on the tic-tac-toe square, number wheel, or EZ Times Table, and suddenly see the times table revealed! They are getting the picture without having to figure it out.
Playing with number patterns creates this special way of seeing, which includes “the ability to see a whole field while at the same time perceiving parts within the field in relationship to each other as well as to the whole.” There is an ownership and attitude shift that happens when kids see the patterns in numbers and the whole structure of the times table in their own way. There is a beauty and awe that makes math friendly and the times tables easier to learn. The whole brain engages in the learning process, but the passion is re-kindled every time the student sees new patterns.
