Your child hates to do math worksheets.
What to do?
Your child dislikes math worksheets because he/she is a normal child. The worksheets require good deal more handwriting skills than math. And this is where most children are weak. So they decide that they don't like math.
But math is fun when done right!
So why do young children get stymied by it? Sit in front of worksheets for hours, looking dazed?
Your child will feel the "fun" aspect of math only when it is separated from the handwriting drudgery!
Most children do not like to do repetitive math problems but
see verbal problems as a game and a challenge. We remove handwriting from math
problems to free child's mind to more important tasks - learning and
cementing fundamental mathematical skills. Our goal is to help your
children
develop math fluency leading to immediate improvements in their school
work.
We will help you to train your child to do math in her
head and develop techniques for mathematical accuracy and efficiency.
Verbal math exercises are created
to train children
to use
fundamentals of arithmetic so
skillfully that their written work will be become
easier, quicker, and more accurate. Oral efficiency is "carried
over" into
written work. We aim to develop automatic in basic mathematical skills.
As with reading, once fluent in basic arithmetic skills, the child can move on to
complex, conceptual mathematical thinking.
Nothing gives a child a feeling of confidence like being able to math probelms in his head.
Teach your child to do math in his head with this course.
This course is not intended to replace regular schoolwork but serves
as a supplement for learning speed and accuracy in doing math problems. In many textbooks the oral exercises serve
as introduction to a new concept. In our books, the word problems serve to reinforce and automatise familiar concepts, with
a view to developing mastery, skill, and facility. In fact our books are nealy all word problems.
The verbal lessons contain the type of abstract problems that we all
need to solve. We help free children from dependency on using
their fingers, pencils and paper, or calculators for routine mathematical
computations. The exercises provide training in purely mental
computations so
that each
child may
acquire
a reasonable
degree
of accuracy
and speed
to progress for higher grades.
Just as in reading, children need to develop a basic reading vocabulary
for fluency, these problems can be seen as the basic mathematical vocabulary that your child needs to progress further.
Verbal Math exercises are a must if you want your child to feel comfortable with math.
