Your child hates math worksheets! Your child dislikes math worksheets because he/she is a normal child. Worksheets require good deal more handwriting skills than math. And this is where most children are weak. In elementary grades, what is math to a young child? Your child sits front of worksheets for hours, looking dazed and miserable. We had this experience with our children when we signed them up for Kumon. Although, they could do the problems in their head, they hated the writing part. Kumon works for many kids, those who do not have problems with handwriting. But when your child is weak in his or her fine motor skills, (boys often fall in this category) worksheets mean misery. But, your child will feel the "fun" aspect of math only when it is separated from the handwriting drudgery! 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 do math problems in his head. Teach your child to do math without pencil or paper with this course. If your child is in K-1, start with first book, Verbal Math One, if in 2nd grade and can add single digit numbers, try book 2. For grades 3-4, try book 3 and then Verbal Fractions and Verbal Percents depending on the ability and needs of your child. We even suggest that high school kids go thorough Verbal Fractions and Verbal Percents to reinfornce speed and conceptual understanding of basic math facts for the SAT tests. Buy Now from Amazon.com This course serves as a supplement for learning speed and accuracy in doing math problems. All problems are to be done verbally. No pencil or paper required or allowed. We start with simple operations and move to word problems that serve to reinforce and automatize familiar concepts, with a view to developing mastery, skill, and facility. In fact our books are nearly all word problems. The Verbal Lesson books contain the type of abstract problems that we all need to solve. We help free your children from dependency on using their fingers, pencils and paper, or calculators for routine math 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. Like it?
