Different people send me their website links from time to time, for me to check and consider adding to the Homeschoolmath.net site. That's nice, as it saves me the trouble from looking for new links and sites.

The other day I got this link: The Jefferson Math Project,www.jmap.org, and I truly found a fantastic "deal" on it, if you want to call it a deal, since it's free:

They offer a free Worksheet Builder software made by Prentice Hall. It has a database of thousands of ready-made questions for every subtopic of algebra, advanced algebra, and geometry. You just browse the questions and add those you wish to your worksheet, and then print it. You can change the number values in the question to make it different, though essentially the same.

It also has libraries of questions for standard test practice (again, algebra, advanced algebra, and geometry).

As such, it is for high school, but from the jmap.org site you can also download an additional Saxon Library of questions for grade math 4 and onward. And, Jmap.org also offers enhanced libraries that include Math A and Math B Regents exam questions.

I could not initially believe they would offer it for free for other visitors too (and not just New York teachers), so I had to email back to the project editor, and he confirmed that they have a permission from Prentice Hall to distribute it for free and would like a lot of traffic from homeschoolers.

On my site you have probably used the worksheet generators that make worksheets for basic operations, fractions, decimals, square roots... but this software can now fill the gap for free high school math worksheets.

Here's the link one more time: home page of Jefferson Math Projectand a direct link to the Free Worksheet Builder software.

What is Algebra?

It is an area of mathematics that use alphabetic characters in place of numbers to derive results for a given situation. This abstraction is the very reason why most people find algebra scary and too difficult to handle and it is the same reasons why some students find it fun to play around with. Algebra topics extend by working through simple tasks such as factoring binomials and eventually progressing on to finding the product of matrices. Most individuals begin to learn Algebra by adding, subtracting, reducing and simplifying algebraic expressions. They then move on to understanding equivalent fractions, finding Least Common Multiples (LCM) and converting fractions to decimals.

Oh no! It’s Exponents, Radicals and Graphing

There are many higher level themes. First there are powers. A power is the little number placed to the right and slightly above a number or algebraic expression. An example is (x + y)³ where the 3 is the power and denotes the power to which that number is raised. The above algebraic expression is expressed as, x plus y to the third power. In working with powers you can add, subtract, multiple or divide them . You can work with rational and negative exponents. If that isn’t enough to make your head spin, then you can move on to radicals. A radical, in simple terms, is the reversing of an power. Radical expressions are denoted by the symbol “V” and when placed beside number 4, it is read as square root of 4, which is equal to 2. The opposite exponential equation is 2^2 which is read, 2 to the 2nd power, and equals 4. Equally with exponents, radical expressions can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. Radicals can be converted into exponents and exponents back into radicals. If exponents and radicals aren’t enough, there is always graphing. Start with graphing straight lines and determining if the line is horizontal or vertical or something else. Another question to ask is whether the line has an x-intercept or a y-intercept Can you find the slope of the line? you master the mathematical art of graphing, you will come across a whole new world filled with parabolas and hyperbolas.

Help is Out There

While you are learning algebra if the terms and concepts seem too much to handle, relax and take a break. There are many resources out there that can help you master quadratic systems of equations, quadratic formulas and polynomials. Look for math tutors or software systems that will walk you through gradual process on how to solve any problem. You can also use algebra calculators or algebra solvers. any of these tools can assist you become an algebra expert in no time.

UCMAS Abacus Mental Arithmetic - An Introduction

Mathematical Principle is the mother of all science
and
Calculation is the root of all Mathematical Principles.

UCMAS Mental Arithmetic System is a modern representation of an ancient art of mental math. It uses an ancient tool, the abacus, for the right brain development, contributing in a large measure to increase speed and accuracy, learning ability, concentration, perceptual capability, memory and academic performance.

The abacus is used to teach the children to use both their hands to manipulate the beads. In the initial stages, they take the help of the abacus to work out mathematical problems. Gradually the abacus is kept away and the children perform the manipulation of the beads mentally. This program has proven to enhance self-reliance and self-confidence and offers a unique opportunity to discover the hidden potential of children equipping them with lifetime skills.

maths drill and Drill Sheets for Math

2010-06-16T00:22:00.000-07:00

A List of Web Pages with Printable Files .

Easy Drill Sheets

These sheets are for the younger crowd and those children who are new to drill sheets. These sheets are far less intimating because there are only 18 questions per sheet. The name of the sheets tells what numbers are used.

Regular Drill Sheets

The drill sheets below are for the children who are 4/5 grade and up and have used drill sheets before. If the drill sheets below take way too much time (more than 8-10 minutes to begin with) or if they put off your child, then start your child on the easy drill sheets.
*You'll know that your child has mastered these drills when they can do them in less than 3 minutes.
*The answer sheets can be also used as study sheets.
*Until they learn the multiplication facts, let your kids look at a multiplication chart while they do math. It will take some of the their frustration away while they do their math lessons. They will use the chart less over time and eventually they will not need it at all.

How are these tutorial DVDs different from others?
The answer is simple. Most math instruction involves a lengthy discussion of the abstract theory behind the Math before instructing the student in how to solve problems. While there are some merits to this style, in the vast majority of the cases the student quickly gets bored and frustrated by the time he or she starts to solve the problems. This DVD, in contrast, teaches all of the concepts by working fully narrated problems step-by-step, which is a much more engaging way to learn.

All topics on this DVD are taught by working example problems. There are no traditional lectures of background material that won't help you solve problems and improve your skills. Teaching-by-doing is what you will receive by watching this DVD. The techniques of integration, for example, is explained by working many problems in step-by-step detail. It begins with the easier problems and works your way up to the harder problems. The student immediately gains confidence, does not get bored, and quickly feels like he or she can conquer the material. This method is extremely powerful and has proven itself time and again. Perhaps most importantly, problem solving skills are honed early on that will help with homework and taking exams even after watching the very first lesson.

Needed

A printed One Hundred Chart which begins with any number other than 0. On the free side of our site, use the 1 through 100 option. Subscribers have other options also.
One die.
Objects to use as markers, one for each player. Coins, markers from other games, water-bottle caps… anything that will fit within a square on the chart.
To Play

Start each marker on the first square. Roll the die and add the number on the die to the number under the marker. Move the marker to the sum of those two numbers. Hand the die to the next player. The next player rolls the die, adds the result to the number on which his marker sits, and moves his marker to a new total. The first player to pass the last square wins.

Example: Kirk’s marker is on the 1. Kirk rolls a 3. Kirk adds 3 plus 1 and moves his marker to the 4. Kirk hands the die to Susie. Susie’s marker is on the 1. Susie rolls the die and it gives her a 5. Susie adds 5 plus 1 and moves her marker to the 6.

Variations

Include the requirement that in order to win the player must land exactly on the last number. This will add a few more rounds to the game as players roll and roll until the die gives them the exact number needed.

Begin with the markers on the largest number and subtract each roll of the die from the position of the marker. Move the marker to the difference (the new total). Repeat. The first player to pass the smallest number wins the game.

Multiplication and division are other variations. Those games are MUCH faster to complete!

If the student lands on a blank space, he must write in the correct number.

Use a One Hundred Chart that begins with a number other than 1. Options include 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900.

The Math Behind the Beauty

By M. Bourne

source

What has mathematics got to do with beauty? Actually, a lot. Physical attraction depends on ratio.

Our attraction to another person's body increases if that body is symmetrical and in proportion. Likewise, if a face is in proportion, we are more likely to notice it and find it beautiful. Scientists believe that we perceive proportional bodies to be more healthy.

Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of the human body emphasised its proportion. The ratio of the following distances is the Golden Ratio:

(foot to navel) : (navel to head)
Similarly, buildings are more attractive if the proportions used follow the Golden Ratio.

The Golden Ratio (or "Golden Section") is based on Fibonacci Numbers, where every number in the sequence (after the second) is the sum of the previous 2 numbers:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...

We will see (below) how the Fibonnaci Numbers lead to the Golden Ratio:

Φ = 1.618 033 ...

In this Flash activity, you can check out the "mathematical beauty" (or not) of some famous people.

Choose a mask, depending on whether the person is smiling or not, and line up the mask with the photo, using the sliders.

You can change the colour of the mask for better viewing.

Let's look at the ratio of each number in the Fibonacci sequence to the one before it:

1/1 = 1

2/1 = 2

3/2 = 1.5

5/3 = 1.666...

8/5 = 1.6

13/8 = 1.625

21/13 = 1.61538...

34/21 = 1.61905...

55/34 = 1.61764...

89/55 = 1.61861...

If we keep going, we produce an interesting number which mathematicians call "phi" (Golden Ratio or Golden Section):

Φ = 1.618 033 988 7...

This ratio was used by architects and artists throughout history to produce objects of great beauty (like Michelangelo's "David" and the Greek temples.)

Phi (Φ) is like pi (π) in the sense that it is an irrational number. There is no equivalent fraction for Φ and its decimal keeps going and never stops.

Sunflower (Image source)
The Golden Ratio also occurs in nature, in the patterns we see in sunflowers, pine cones and so on. This is largely because one of the best ways to efficiently pack things tightly together is using the Fibonacci sequence.

The Greatest Mathematicians of All Time - A Tribute

- just opinion -

Isaac Newton elaborated many of Galileo's physics and astronomy theories by appliying the techniques of calculus. The most elaborated thesis from Newton I find would be "Naturalis Principia Mathematica" which had shown his ideas on inverse square law, geometrical intepretation of motion and etc.

The best mathematician I find is Leonard Euler. His book written in 1748 "Introdutio in analysin infinitorum" shown methods in beautiful mathematical equations like his famous e^iπ = -1 and finding the real value of i^i.

How important is Math Worksheet Creator?

2009-09-07T10:22:00.000-07:00

How important is Math Worksheet Creator?

The answer ties to the question: how important is basic math skills?

Although US students have made progress in some areas of math, when it comes to basic arithmetic—in particular, the ability to compute— progress has ground to a halt. Our students are very much behind many other countries, such as Japan and Singapore and many others.

Some people argue that students do not need to learn how to compute now that calculators are widely available. Visit any university, you will find, math, computing and engineering departments are dominated by foreign students. It is very sad to see many of our students fail in math and lose the opportunities to pursue these careers.

Are basic math skills still important? We can continue arguing the subject, however, in my opinion, if students don’t master basic math skills, they lose their edge to accomplish in advanced math topics.

Produced by Li Kelty, a mother of two and former software designer, this site offers great free tools for creating math worksheets, which can be used (and scored) right online, or printed and completed by hand. Membership is very reasonable at $9.95 per year (there’s a free trial for educators).

So here’s my question: what role do worksheets play in today’s elementary classroom? I teach in a computer lab, so I honestly don’t know. Worksheets certainly don’t engage students the way other kinds of learning does. But I know they’re not devoid of value and are used throughout schools. Share your thoughts in the comments!

This way you can add the practice that your student needs to a curriculum you already like, or you can be freed from the constraints of a workbook or textbook that gives either too much or too little practice if you would rather direct the studies yourself.

These worksheets are provided in PDF format. For those who have a slow internet connection or an older computer, we also provide these worksheets as printable web pages.

here is the review :

Endorsements

I've seen a big improvement with my students since using your website. The fourth graders have to complete 10 various pages in a weekly packet that is due on Fridays. The parents receive a copy of the answer keys and have to sign each page. It's a great way to keep the parents involved, and parents and students both like the idea of only one homework assignment a week. The boxes really help when learning the long division and multiplication. I call them the training wheels. It is also really helping to prepare for the state test (OAT) coming up in March.

- Jason Jacobs, Fourth grade teacher, Ohio

The Math Worksheet Site is one of the most valuable tools available on the Internet. I use it with my own children daily and promote it on my web site, HomeschoolChristian.com. Being able to tailor the worksheets and repeat as necessary with freshly generated sheets make this a virtual replacement for textbooks for most of elementary school. New worksheets are added regularly, including many covering skills that are often glossed over in textbooks, such as Roman numerals, adding and subtracting time by varying amounts of time, and reading a simple tape measure. The low yearly subscription is well worth the additional cost over the free worksheets. One of my top 5 recommendations on the Internet.

- Mary Leggewie, Homeschooling mom of 3, HomeschoolChristian.com, California

What a fabulous website! In only a few short weeks after stumbling across this site, already it has become my primary source of worksheets for my students. The easy interface, the myriad combinations possible, the wide assortment of skills available, all at a negligible cost! Not only can I instantly create a page for my entire class to practice critical skills, but I can just as rapidly create a sheet for my special needs students to meet their individual goals. It would be difficult to envision a better resource. You have my thanks.

- John Maynard, Middle school math teacher, Altadena, California

The Math Worksheet Site is the brilliant brainchild of Scott Bryce. For just a few dollars a year, you can print out an unlimited number of hundreds of types of math worksheets, all printed out to your own specifications. Amazing. I would include a subscription to this website on my list of essentials for a homeschooling family.

- Laurie Bluedorn, Veteran homeschooler,
Co-author of Teaching the Trivium: Christian Homeschooling in a Classical Style, TriviumPursuit.com

As a special education teacher with no text books and three grade levels (not counting the actual grade levels of my students, ranging from K-5) I count on the endless worksheets your site provides. I am so impressed with the very frequent new additions and the "special ed friendly" way a lot of the worksheets are set up, like the new option to include the 5-minute intervals around the clock...AWESOME! Your site is at the top of my list when referring new teachers to very helpful sites on the Internet. Keep up the good work and know that you are very appreciated.

- Emily Schmucker, Special education teacher, Ohio

TheMathWorksheetSite.com. This on-line math worksheet generator is a treasure chest filled with the wonders of math skill practice. I cannot imagine a better site for this purpose. Each math skill is addressed with precision. The worksheets are clear and devoid of advertisements or distracting logos. The answer keys tell the whole story and will aid students in showing them where they went right or where they made an error. The numbers are large and there is ample room for calculation. Amazingly, every time you click onto a page, presto chango - there is a new worksheet just waiting to be solved. And the mathematician and/or teacher who is in charge of designing the worksheet can change the variables for each skill to meet the desired level of difficulty. Every teacher and student needs to take a tour of this wonderful math practice site. I am encouraging all my current and incoming students and their parents to subscribe to this site during this summer vacation. A huge thank you goes out to the developers (and to my school for subscribing).

I was very pleasantly surprised by The Math Worksheet Site! As a busy homeschooling mom, I don't have time to wade through a complicated web site, nor wait for downloads or worksheets to generate. This has dissuaded me from using most worksheet sites on a regular basis. But now that I have discovered The Math Worksheet Site, I will be using it daily to generate drill work and extra practice worksheets. I am even thinking of forgoing the purchase of a math curriculum for my first grader and instead utilizing The Math Worksheet Site for all his worksheets.

The site is straightforward, easy to navigate, very fast, and the variety of options available for each type of worksheet makes it possible for me to customize work for each of my children's unique and developing needs. The Math Worksheet Site is a gem for homeschoolers as well as any student needing customized math assignments that are targeted to his specific area of need.

I really seriously believe this is the best worksheet site available.

- Catherine N., Homeschooling mom of 3, Oregon

I teach adults Numeracy in a college in the North of England. We have to teach 12 students at a time and it is often difficult to get round them all in a session, let alone produce materials tailored to their individual needs. This website is brilliant and allows me to stay sane! I can produce work for everyone in a matter of minutes. It looks very professional, and the fact that answers are supplied too makes all the difference.

- Dave Clapham, College instructor, England

I absolutely love your site! The Math Worksheet Site.com is so much better than anything I have used before! We homeschool and I have many different aged students, from first grade all the way through high school seniors. For years we used Calculadder's reproducible worksheets and they are great but too limited. I often like to really make sure a student has mastered a concept and will like to give them many different worksheets of the same type but not the same problems. With The Math Worksheet Site I can do that all day long! There are all kinds of math curricula out there, and a family could easily spend hundreds of dollars and hours upon hours learning how to teach them. However, math is not meant to be so hard. Just teach the concept, and then give the worksheets to master the concept. The Math Worksheet Site allows it to be that simple, and has everything I need. Y'all are truly an answer to prayer!

- Penny R., Homeschooling mom of 7, Tennessee

I found your site several months ago while searching for good worksheets and became a subscriber. I teach math at the 2 year college level to students who have come through the public school system and are in need of a good remedial math education. Approximately 95% of the students entering the school must take a developmental course before being allowed to tackle a college level math course! Sadly, in my developmental courses, I encounter students who cannot complete simple arithmetic, who cannot multiply, who are lost with fractions, and so forth.

I want to say your site has been a big help to me. I can use your worksheets as they are - no need to get rid of childish graphics - they are ready to go! I will continue to subscribe and am thrilled to come back each time and find new additions. Your site is the only site where I have found worksheets for binary, octal and hex conversions and useable coordinate planes and number lines.

Keep up the good work. I appreciate all that you've done!

- Marie Vargas, College instructor

Early on in my homeschooling journey, I used to purchase supplement workbooks or make my own math worksheets for my older children to practice math facts. I was absolutely delighted when the Bryce family started The Math Worksheet Site! For a small subscription fee (far less than the cost of supplement workbooks!) I have access to tailor-made worksheets at the click of a button! Since discovering The Math Worksheet Site, we began using it exclusively to teach basic math facts to our younger children (grades K, 1, and 2). This has worked out beautifully. If they are having trouble with a particular set of problems, I can simply print off more of the same sort of problems. If it is time to move on, we can easily do that too. We can also print review worksheets. I can't rave about The Math Worksheet Site enough!

- Kimberly E., Homeschooling mom of 5, Michigan

Your website is by far the best math worksheet creator I have found. I have only been using it two weeks and already feel I have maximized my time to develop other content areas without the pressure to create worksheets. I wish I had found your site sooner and will certainly use it next year!

- Kristine Ford, 5th grade teacher, Philadelphia

As a teacher of adults with developmental disabilities, my students need many more worksheets to master a concept than other students. I could not have been as effective a teacher without it. I particularly like the clock and money sections.

You are the best value in math websites that I have researched.

I am leaving my job after 7 years but made sure that we were resubscribed for the new teacher before I left.

- Colette Maple, Instructor, All Day Compensatory Education Class, Community College, North Carolina

Your worksheets helped to bring my son from a D math student to an A math student during this school year.

Math Teachers are not being taught math adequately

2009-08-30T10:03:00.000-07:00

Math Teachers are not being taught math adequately

Apparently the National Council on Teacher Quality has done a comprehensive study to come to the conclusion that everyone who is not an “expert” has known for years: Teachers are not being taught math adequately, and generally fail to teach it well to their students. (Do tell…)

Isn’t it funny that the “establishment” will never admit that? It takes an expensive academic “study” to show what is already known, yet Universities (in general) will not do anything about the way they teach teacher how to teach math. They will try some new, expensive methods that some textbook company has lobbied for, of course. But they won’t try anything that might actually work.

That’s why homeschooling and afterschooling are becoming more and more important. Taking an interest in your own child’s education is more important than ever, as public schools tank in their ability to actually teach, thanks to the natural entropy of society, and the idiotically simple-minded ways some people like to deal with it, as with the subtly(?) sardonically named “No Child Left Behind” act.

According to the AP article:

Author Julie Greenberg said education students should be taking courses that give them a deeper understanding of arithmetic and multiplication. She said the courses should explain how math concepts build upon each other and why certain ideas need to be emphasized in the classroom.
Teacher candidates know their multiplication tables, but “they don’t come to us knowing why multiplication works the way it does,” said Denise Mewborn, who heads the University of Georgia department of math and science education.

This is the key to most of what every student needs to know – how multiplication works. Addition is almost intuitive. It is an extension of counting. Once you extend addition to multiplication, though, you need a good understanding of how the base ten system works, and the commutative, associative, and distributive laws. You don’t need to know the names of those laws, of course, but you need to understand how to use them in order to understand multiplication. You also need to know that multiplication is not just repeated addition – a misrepresentation that is prevalent in education. (I should know, I only recently “saw the light” about this.)

That’s the big issue. Just being able to recite multiplication tables is not actually being able to understand multiplication. And just going through the motions and repeating math steps that a teacher has “taught” you by show-and-tell methods, so you can prove that you can jump through the hoops for the big test at the end of the year usually does more damage to your understanding that anything.

So what is there to do about it? First, as a truly concerned parent or teacher, make sure you, yourself understand some of the nuances of multiplication. Like why when you multiply by a fraction, the product is smaller than the multiplicand. (Did I get you with that one? Leave a comment below requesting the Math Mojo take on that one, and I’ll cover it in a new post).

Second, make sure you have at least two ways of explaining to your students how multiplication works. Not just how to do it, but how it actually works. I’m working on a video series about this now. Send me a nudge (again, in a comment below) to make it a higher priority to get it done and available to you faster.

Third, make sure you have a way to assess if your child or students understand what you taught them. The assessment doesn’t have to be a test. Tests are more about beating kids over the head. Asking questions and asking to demonstrate, in a non-threatening way would be my first strategy. If you must beat someone over the head, start with someone in an administrative position.

Here’s one of the reasons why:

According to the AP article:

Since states oversee the preparation of the nation’s school teachers, the report recommends they set tougher coursework and testing standards.

Why is does the solution always involve browbeating the learners? Why are the words “tough” and “testing” so often involved? How on earth does that teach or inspire? The problem isn’t that, “those who can’t do, teach.” The people who run those studies and teach university level education courses usually can do the math they are supposed to teach quite well.

The problem is that “those that can’t teach, teach.” Then they “train” teachers, instead of teaching them. No wonder those teachers have problems teaching.

As I always say, look up when you look for where the problem lies. You can’t blame a third grader for not learning (unless there is neurological damage, of course). If it’s behavior problems, there might be an issue beyond the teacher’s scope, but most behavior problems are dealt with by good teachers.

But beyond those things, start looking up the chain for someone who needs the butt-kicking. If the teacher can’t teach, were they taught well? (Are they even allowed to teach well in that school?) If the teacher’s teacher can’t teach, were they taught well? Is their administrator constantly putting monkey-wrenches in their teaching techniques? Is something going on at the School Board mucking up the school? Is the State requiring more tests, but providing less resources for teachers and students?

Keep looking up. Here’s a hint: Besides the handicapped, who’s got the parking spot closest to the school entrance? Start with him/her.
Remember, when things are looking bad, begin to look up.

Math facts vs. Math concepts

2009-08-30T09:47:00.000-07:00

Math facts vs. Math concepts

There are MANY kids like this out there. Dyscalculia is another LD that is little known and commonly misunderstood. Though like most "definitions" - our kids don't fit the cookie cutter stereotype. Symptoms, causality, descriptions will vary.

What seems truly common is the "inability" with Math Facts and the "ability" to practically intuit higher level math concepts. It also seems - to me - to be a tad more common amongst kids who are also dysgraphic. Also amongst "visual spatial" thinkers (which is also seems tied to dysgraphia - hmmmm...... anyways)

For my son - and quite a number of other kids I know - in person or via parent/cyberspace - the "solution" is NOT drill drill drill (an anathema to these kids!), but to just stop worrying about it, let them go on to more challenging math problems. They will have to USE computational skills to solve them but they will also be getting the mental challenge/stimulus they NEED.

For many, letting them use a grid or (in our case) a calculator - to SOLVE the problems is perfectly fine! What happened (s) is: they get the PICTURE they need to retrieve quickly (you know they know and understand the concept - because they constantly refigure - so the PICTURE is ok here). And - over time, you see them access the calculator/chart less and less.

Do NOT "hold them back" for silly things like math facts. (Do you stop your kid from reading more interesting books because they can't spell??) It will make them bored and resentful, and they will come to HATE MATH and question that wonderfully intuitive skill they have.

And for (whatever diety you wish)'s sake - DO NOT GIVE THEM TIMED TESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This will only increase TEST ANXIETY which can - and does (BTDT) - spill over into every OTHER test they ever take.

FWIW - Timed "math facts" tests were a large part of what drove my son out of PS. The teacher knew he "knew" them, but he absolutely could not - between dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and test anxiety - legibly complete the test in the time alloted!

As my son has advanced to more complex Algebraic problems, he's figured out that he HAS to "show his work" (aaaggh!) in order to work through the problems. He also has to "proof" his work (so he's doing mostly self-checking.) He still wants the calculator there, but he doesn't use it very often for basic calculations.

Although, on his recent yearly test (we do ours in January) - he again - scored about 50% on Math Calculations and 99% on Math Concepts. Even though they were basically the "same problems" - whereas the Math Calc problem was "just numbers" - and the Math Concept problem was buried in a "word problem".

=================================

By definition, math must be UNDERSTOOD. It CANNOT be memorized. Memorizing is not math. Memorization is a surface-level, short-term memory task. Math involves deep thinking and understanding - real brain work - and your 7-yo may or may not be ready to do it.

Math is not about memorizing algorithms or facts. It's about understanding the reality that the world is made of numbers.

Really. I am deadly serious about this. My kids are all really, really good at math, at least according to their standardized test scores, and none of them have ever once cracked a math book or a flashcard (and Mr. Unschooler and I both suck at math, so there is no inherited talent at work). And, yes, they can answer quickly if you ask them one of those "math facts" questions such as what is 7 times 8. The great thing is that if they forget what 7 times 8 is, it's not big deal, because they can very quickly and easily figure out a strategy to solve the problem.

100% of our arithmetic consisted either of figuring out "real world" problems (how many giraffes would you have to stack up to reach the top of mommy's office building? how would you go about doubling that recipe?) or in math games we invent. To learn times tables, we did a lot of counting by tens, fives, sevens, eights, elevens and so on. To learn division, we played a game where we imagined there were a set number of cookies to be divided amont a set number of children, with the leftovers (remainder) going to the dog. We also figure out the area of all kinds of things. Another favorite is the "number machine" wherein one person puts a number into the "machine" (the other player), which spits back an answer. The first person continues to "insert" numbers into the "machine" until he can figure out what the machine did to the "input" number in order to generate the "output" (the machine can do something as simple as adding one or two or as complicated as algebra).

Sometimes, I'll throw out a problem for one of the kids and let them think about it for minutes, hours or days. There's no rush. I'd rather they think deeply about it and figure out a way to solve the problem than memorize an algorithm and not understand what they are doing.

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has embraced a pedgagogical approach based on deep understanding of numbers rather than memorization of facts. I'd encourage you to look at their ideas and also those in John Holt's excellent book "Learning All the Time."

interior angle of a regular n-gon

2009-08-23T01:07:00.001-07:00

in general, the measure of an interior angle of a regular n-gon is

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Since all the sides of equilateral triangles are the same length, all the angles are the same...

===============================================

Measuring Interior Angles of a Polygon

Step 1

Determine whether the polygon you are working with is regular or irregular.A regular polygon is a polygon whose sides and angles are all of the same measure, all other polygons are irregular.

Step 2

Use the equation 180*(n-2), if you are dealing with a regular polygon, where n is the number of sides that the polygon has, to determine the sum of the interior angles of the polygon. Then to determine the measurement of the interior angles of that regular polygon you would simply divide the sum of the interior angles by n, since that is the number of sides and angles of the regular polygon. The resulting number will be the measurement of all the interior angles of that polygon.

Step 3

Use the measurements provided for you, if you are working with an irregular polygon. If the interior angle measurements aren't provided for you then you can use a protractor to determine the measurements of the interior angles.
Calculating the Sum of the Exterior Angles of a Polygon

Step 1

Subtract the measurement of each interior angle from 180 to get the measurement of the corresponding exterior angle.If you were to draw a continuous straight line off of each side of the polygon then you would be able to see not only the interior angles but also the exterior angles. We know that a straight line as a measurement of 180 degrees, so, if you subtract the measurement of the interior angle from 180 (the total degrees of the straight line) then what you are left with is the measurement of the exterior angle. In math terms, exterior and interior angles are supplementary to each other.This is the procedure that you follow for both regular and irregular polygons.

Step 2

Add the measurements of all the exterior angles together to get the sum of the exterior angles of the polygon.You should get 360 degrees because that is the sum of the exterior angles of all polygons.

Step 3

Use the knowledge that the sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always going to 360 degrees to make finding the measurements of the exterior angles of a polygon easier next time around.

Step 4

Determine the measurement of its exterior angles by dividing 360 by the number of sides of the polygon when you are dealing with a regular polygon.

Step 5

Determine the measurement of a particular exterior angle, if you have the measurements of all the other exterior angles, by adding up the measurements off all the other exterior angles and then subtracting that number from 360 when dealing with an irregular polygon.

Graphing y = mx + b

Date: 01/20/97 at 10:58:13
From: Larry Shirley
Subject: x and y intercepts and graph

Dear Dr. Math,

I am having trouble understanding 3x + 2y = 5. This has to be in
y = mx + b form. After I get it in the proper form, how do I graph
it?

Sarah

Date: 01/20/97 at 11:59:07
From: Doctor Lisa
Subject: Re: x and y intercepts and graph

Hi Sarah!

Let's take a look at your question step by step. The first thing you
told me is that you need to get the equation into y = mx + b form.
So, to begin, you will work on solving this equation for y. As you
may recall, what that means is that you want to manipulate the
equation so you get y by itself on one side of the equation. This is
the process I would use:

3x + 2y = 5
2y = -3x + 5 (subtract 3x from each side to get 2y by itself)
y = -3/2x + 5/2 (divide both sides by 2 to get y by itself)

Now that I have the equation in the proper form, we're ready to
graph it.

Remember that y = mx + b is called "slope-intercept form." If you
have an equation in this form (and written with the x-term first and
the constant second), you will have the slope and the y-intercept for
the graph. The slope is "m" (the coefficient of x) and is the rise
over the run (or the change in y over the change in x). The
y-intercept is "b" and is where the graph crosses the y-axis.

In this problem, m = -3/2 and b = 5/2. I would first locate the
y-intercept on the graph. Since b = 5/2, I would find where 5/2 (or
2 1/2) is on the y-axis and make a point. This is where the graph
crosses the y-axis.

From there, I would use the slope to find other points on the graph.
When using slope, we first travel in the y direction and then move in
the x direction. Keep in mind that a positive y direction is up, a
negative y direction is down, a positive x direction is right, and a
negative x direction is left. When you have a positive slope, you
will either use a positive y and positive x movement or a negative y
and negative x direction. This is because a positive number divided by
a positive number is still positive and a negative number divided by a
negative number is also positive. Since we have a negative slope, we
need one positive number and one negative number.

** As I am describing the graphing process below, I am assuming
that you are using graph paper. This process will work with any scale
on the graph (1 square could equal 2 units or 10 units, etc.). **

Our slope is -3/2. This means I can do one of two things: either go
up 3 squares (positive direction) and left 2 squares (negative
direction) or go down 3 squares (negative direction) and right 2
squares (positive direction). Be careful with this problem because
you are beginning with a fraction (the 5/2 from above) - you'll have
to either estimate where halfway is or make each mark equal to 1/2 (in
other words, 2 marks on the graph = 1 unit).

Go to the 5/2 you marked earlier. You can go up 3 squares from the
5/2 and then move over left 2 squares and make your next point. You
can also go down 3 squares from the 5/2 and then move over right 2
squares and make your next point. If you do both of those operations,
you will have 3 points and can connect the dots to make a line. You
can count out as many points as you need to make the line, but I
suggest a minimum of 3 points for accuracy (although some teachers
want you to use 5 points). The more points you have, the more
accurate the line will appear on your graph.

I hope I clearly answered your question for you and that this will
help you do other problems similar to it. Have a great day!

My kid hates math

2009-08-20T09:28:00.000-07:00

What to Do When Your Child Hates Math

The dislike for math is widespread among school going kids. You will often come across comments like 'math is very boring', 'I don't like math' or 'math has no use in real life'. Parents find it difficult to help their child when he or she hates math. However, a little effort on the part of the parents can make math fun their child. Understand the real problem of your child and then use various interesting activities or teaching methods to generate interest for math in your child.

Most kids do not like math because as a culture we have trouble bringing math to life. The majority of Teachers teach the subject as they were taught and the system is in an endless spiral of repeated practices.

You can make it an interesting subject by assigning math tasks to your child. Since you know better than the school teacher what are the likes and dislikes of your child, you can teach your child math by the activities he likes. For example, you can give him candies to distribute among your family members. Tell him how he can divide the total number of candies so that each member gets an equal amount. You can take him to shop with you and give him the task to add the total price of things you have bought. You can teach proportion to your child by assigning him the task to collect the ingredients of a recipe. This will teach him proportions. And after your child masters these basic concepts you can assign him more complicated tasks. But always remember to help your child if he finds any difficulty in completing the task.

Children hold the view that math has no role to perform in real life. Kids need to understand that math is all around them, in their bicycles, paintings or houses. The problem is that they can learn how to ride a bicycle without studying math. These types of questions generate a general disliking for math in schools. You can reduce this problem by making math a subject used in every day life. Take examples from the routine life of your child to teach him addition multiplication or fragmentation. Tell him in which activities math plays a very important role and how math can make their life better. Your child will start taking interest in math because he becomes familiar with the every day usage of math.

Your interest in the study and homework of your child can generate liking for math in your child. Cooperate with him in his math homework. Make a regular routine for your child and monitor his television and playing hours. Your child can actually learn many basic math concepts while watching television or playing various games, if you participate in these activities. You have to avoid all distractions when your child in doing his math's homework. Make all things like pencils or a ruler available to your child when he starts his homework.

If you cannot manage it yourself, then hire a good tutor for your child. A good tutor can make math a fun for your kid. He can give proper attention to your child and foster interest for math. The use of innovative methods to teach math also helps a child to take interest in the subject. In fact this is the biggest problem that generates hatred for math among school going children. The teachers focus more attention on removing the mistakes than encouraging innovativeness in the students. This practice detracts students and math becomes a boring subject for them. If teachers use various interesting methods like using animal images or candies to teach basic concepts like division, addition, multiplication, better results can be achieved.

I Want My Kids to Love Math

2009-08-20T09:22:00.000-07:00

I Want My Kids to Love Math but how????

Mathematics can be a fascinating subject. Once kids start liking it, the chances are they are going to spends hours solving math problems on their own. They will simply, enjoy mathematics and try to learn more about algebra and arithmetic. Watching your kids getting better in mathematics can be a worthwhile experience. After all, math is required to excel in any well respected professions. If your child is good in math then he can choose to become an economist, attorney or an engineer. However, if your child is having problems with math or you want him to love mathematics, you can follow these tips:

You can create a story that involves math puzzles which can be solved by your kids. For example you can use the story of the three little pigs to create mathematical problems. A good question can be: Once upon a time there were three little pigs, ages 3, 7 and 9. Are these ages in even or odd numbers? Another good question can be: pig number 1 wanted to create a house from straws, a bundle of straws cost $3. He needs four bundles of straws. How much will he spend?

One of the great ways of developing your kid's interest in math is through supplemental math books. Try buying books that are interesting to read, so that your child is motivated to solve math problems. Children often like books that have picture puzzles or their favorite cartoon characters in them. They can help your child in improving his mathematics skills.

Provide a positive learning environment to your children. If your child is stuck at any point, help him. Try reviewing problem areas to find out where he needs extra guidance. Communicate with the teacher on a frequent basis about your child's performance. Let the teacher know where your child is facing difficulties, so that he or she provides him the needed assistance. Your child will do much better in math if you make him practice math exercises on regular basis.

Most children start disliking math because their homework exercises are too difficult. If you want your child to love mathematics then you should help him in his homework. When he is finished with his assignment, you should check it for any mistakes. Most of the time children do the proper working but they make mistakes while doing calculations. If that's the case, then give credit to your child for the proper working and make him practice arithmetic calculations. However, if your child tends to do mistakes in working, then carefully guide him about the proper method. Tell him the basic concepts behind procedures. Math is about concepts rather then rote learning. If you are unsure about a certain problem, then tell the teacher to help your child in doing it.

You can make math easier for your kids by making them learn multiplication tables. This will make the multiplication exercises easier for them. A good way to do that is by using real life examples, so that your child develops a liking and basic understanding for mathematics. For example, ask your child to multiply the number of chairs to the tables in the classroom.

You can increase your child's interest in mathematics by telling him its importance in daily life. Children can be taught how to compare prices of the same goods in different weights. You can teach them about getting the correct change when they shop for goods. Involving them in a gardening project is an effective way of increasing their fondness for math. Simply, teach them how much fertilizer they need to purchase for a lawn. Other things that you can teach them include how much paint they need to paint various rooms in the house. Most of the highly sought after jobs require math. Tell them that the job of engineer, financial advisor and stockbroker all require good skills in mathematics.

The Eight Table in Mathematics

The Eight Table in Mathematics

The Eight Table in Mathematics

The 8s table is completely different from the 6s and 7s, but just as easy to learn. Read the entire method before you teach it, because it can be taught either with or without the "8 X 1" math fact.

Let's multiply 8 X 1 as an example.

Tell the student that 8 X 1 is ZERO tens and 8 ones. Explain that if you have your hands in the position shown in Fig. 11, that the thumbs can't reach across the space to touch each other, so that's where we get the zero tens from. This becomes clear as we move through the 8s table.

See Fig. 11:

To multiply 8 X 2, the student places the index, or 2nd fingers (as in the "2" of 8 X 2) together. Not counting the thumbs, the attached index fingers signify one set of 10 and the fingers below are the 1s, which in this case are 6 ones.

See Fig.12:

Going on, to multiply 8 X 3, the student simply places his/her middle fingers together like last time, so now we have two sets of attached fingers ( or 2 sets of 10), the index and middle finger pairs. So, that means there are two 10s, and the remaining "loose" fingers are the ones, which in this case are 4 ones.

See Fig. 13:

8 X 4 would entail joining the ring fingers together (along with the index and middle joined pairs, of course), to have a total of 3 pairs of joined fingers, and the pinkies left over, so you would have 3 tens and 2 ones.

Now.....

When you get to 8 X 5, notice that all the fingers are attached to their mates, so you have four 10s and zero 1s. See Fig. 14:

To continue the pattern, tell the student that since you've run out of fingers, you're going to "reload" by giving the "40" to the thumbs. Thus, 8 X 6 is four tens (remember, the thumbs now have the job of being "40") and 8 ones as in Fig. 15:

To help with the switch from 8 X 5 to 8 X 6, have the student start in the 8 X 5 position and slowly bring the thumbs together. When they touch, release the fingers. Then slowly raise the fingers overhead as in Fig. 15.

Thus, 40 is displayed EITHER as 4 sets of joined fingers OR as a pair of thumbs. The only time when BOTH are displayed is when computing the answer to 8 X 10.

8 X 7 is simply a matter of adding a set of ten to the forty that's contained in the thumbs, and thus you have FIVE 10s and the six remaining "loose" fingers to get 56, and so on.

See Fig. 16:

If the student is aware that any number multiplied by one yields a product of the same number, you can more than likely skip the "8 X 1" step. I have included it here because some students are very literal about mathematics, and appreciate seeing the pattern presented from the outset. Use your own judgment.

Also, you can remind the student that the "loose" fingers are below the thumbs for 8 X 1,2,3,4,5 and above the thumbs for 8 X 6,7,8,9,10. For younger students, the following rhyme seems to help:

"The THUMBS become forty, AFTER 5 X 8
8 fingers OVER forty, 8 X 6 is 48"

Multiplication tables 9

2009-08-06T00:09:00.000-07:00

my mum teach Multiplication tables 9 to me when i am a kid.

use your finger and close one finger at a time.

start on the left hand

you will get 9. which is 9X1.

then close the next finger, you will see 1 finger and other 8.

this is 18 = 9 x2.

repeat with another finger you will get 27 = 9 x 3.

repeat with another finger you will get 36 = 9 x 4.

repeat with another finger you will get 45 = 9 x 5.

repeat with another finger you will get 54 = 9 x 6.

repeat with another finger you will get 65 = 9 x 7.

repeat with another finger you will get 72 = 9 x 8.

repeat with another finger you will get 81 = 9 x 9.

repeat with another finger you will get 90 = 9 x 10.

=====================================================

interestingly my son teach me just write 0 to 9
downwards and write 9 to 0 upwards next to the number...

you will get first :-

0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

then add another number but remember 9 to 0 upwards get this result:

09
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
81
90

this is multiplication of 9. i teach to my 6 years old and the result is brilliant.

Teach Multiplication Tables to Children

2009-07-16T06:51:00.000-07:00

Multiplication tables are a fundamental building block of math. At all costs, the best way to give your kid the confidence they need in math, is to make sure they understand the basics of multiplication. The basic multiplication table starts at 1 x 1 and proceeds to 12 X 12. Teach a kid these tables until they know them cold and you will have done your child the greatest favor you will bestow on their educational endeavors. While very few of us use calculus, most of us use algebra and multiplication on a regular basis. Indeed, if we eat out at a restaurant, we unwittingly use multiplication tables. We figure out the square footage of rooms with multiplication. If you stop to think about it, no matter what you do, math is a regular part of your life. Multiplication tables are important. Here are some very simple tricks for teaching your kids how to multiply.

Step 1

Teach your child the tricks. If a kid knows the tricks of multiplication, he will find the process of memorization comes naturally. For example, show him that up to 10 multipliers, the number 11 goes up in identical twin digits… 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 and 99. Teach him that 11 times a two digit number can be found by separating the multiplier and adding it in the center. For example, 11 X 23 would be separated as 2 space 3 and then the 2 and three would be added together in the center to get the final answer of 253. In cases where the center digit is more than 10, then the first of the two digits gets added to the front digit and the other sits beside the digit to the right. For example, 11X 96 would be 9 space 6. Then add the 9 and the 6 to get 15. Add 1 to the 9 to get 10 and leave the 5 and place the 6 to get 1056. To get to 4 times anything, double it and then double it again.

Step 2

Play multiplication games with your kid. For example, if you have two kids learning multiplication at the same time, pull out a deck of cards, pull the face cards and jokers out, and then grab two cards. Whichever kid multiplies the two numbers correctly the fastest gets both cards. Proceed through the deck. At the end, the kid with the most cards wins. This is an especially useful trick for teaching kids who are competitive. Use it.

Step 3

Establish a reward system for correct answers. You will want to tailor the reward to the individual child. Some kids are happy to get a bouncy rubber wall. Others will require more. Choose accordingly. Consider saying, “I have a chocolate bar for a kid who can tell me the answer to 9 x 7. What’s the answer?” Rewards are tremendous learning tools.

Step 4

Do repetition drills. Repetition is the surest way to ingrain multiplication tables into your child's brain. the basic rule of thumb is that if your kids aren't sighing the answers, frustrated because "duh, I already know that one", then the kid doesn't know their tables well enough yet. You can use repetition at any point. Use it in the car, "Quick what's 7X9?". Use it when they are briushing the teeth, and get the garbled answer. Use it before you pass the mashed potatoes. "Well only kids who can tell me what 6 x 3 is get to eat mashed potatoes. Do you know?" Kids learn through on the spot repetition. Keep this tool in your arsenal.

How Do I Teach Multiplication to Kids?

2009-07-16T06:36:00.001-07:00

How Do I Teach Multiplication to Kids?

Teaching multiplication to kids can be less challenging when you relate it to a skill they already have, such as addition. Because multiplication is essentially a sped-up version of addition, there are many techniques you can use. Here are some ideas that have worked for elementary math teachers:

* Use pictures to represent sample problems. Many students are able to visualize approximate answers before finding the correct solution.
* Experiment with manipulatives, such as counting blocks, candy, beads and old ticket stubs.
* Create word or story problems that relate to your students' interests or daily life. Use actual student names to make it fun.
* Do not discourage memorization when it comes to the standard times table.
* Encourage speed in answering times tables. Competing against the clock can be fun for kids.
* Make sure your students are able to count by multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 before they move on to the more challenging multiples of 6, 7, 8 and 9. This helps you to avoid overwhelming your students.

How to Help Your Child Enjoy Math

2009-07-08T07:01:00.001-07:00

How to Help Your Child Enjoy Math

Many students dread math. Parent's can help make their child's mathematics lessons more exciting and entertaining. Read on to learn more about how you can help your child enjoy math.

You can help your children learn to appreciate mathematics by providing them with assistance and fun activities that will help your students enjoy math. Tips to do this include the following:

* Help your kids use math every day
* Play family games that involve math
* Introduce logic games to your children
* Look into math tutoring programs.

Everyday Math Games

Make everyday tasks into games. For example, take your student grocery shopping with you and challenge them to add prices in their heads.

Challenge your child to find which brand or size of a product is the best value. This teaches them how to use money in math, a skill that will be important throughout their life.

Make sure the tasks are not too hard for the child, because this will be frustrating instead of effective. Instead, check to see what their weekly math homework involves and find a way to incorporate that into a trip to the grocery store.

Other everyday tasks that can be used include balancing a checking book and using time problems (how long did it take to complete this task, how long did it take yesterday, etc.) This sounds like a simple task but it will be effective if used regularly. Children will participate in these day to day games because they are fun, but will see the benefits as their homework becomes easier and they start to grasp the various math concepts.
Math Logic

There are various logic games that are available in books and magazines. These challenging puzzles are available in a variety of skill levels, so you can make sure the games will not be too hard for your child. Examples of logic games include crossword puzzles, number sequences, and logic grids. These activities can be done as a family, or your child can choose to do them alone.

These books and magazines are especially good for long car rides or traveling in trains and planes because it keeps your child concentrated on the puzzles instead of the long trip. What is great about the logic books and magazines is that there are answers and explanations in the back. This way, your child can see if they are correct and learn how to complete the challenge if they are stumped.
Math Related Board Games

Family game time is always a good idea because it creates a bonding time and a fun, comfortable atmosphere for your child to improve their math skills. Popular games that use math and logic include Yahtzee, chess, backgammon, checkers, Connect Four, and dominoes.
Math Tutoring

Math tutoring programs are also great tools for parents with struggling students. Even if your child is not struggling, a tutoring program could be useful in increasing their enjoyment of mathematics.

By using an online tutoring program, your child is being introduced to the possibilities of the Internet and may be encouraged to play the math games as well. The online math tutoring programs use assessment tests to see which math skills your child needs help with, and then create lesson plans that revolve around these skill gaps.

How to Teach Math to a Struggling Student

2009-06-26T01:57:00.000-07:00

Please don’t tell your daughter she has to be either a math person or a language person. It is quite possible to be both. It sounds to me as though she has a very mathematical mind, if she is so good at strategy games and chess. Numbers are only a tiny part of math, even if they are the part that fills elementary textbooks. And if she can analyze a word problem, she is way ahead of many kids her age!

Since her problem shows up in adding and subtracting, it could be a couple of things. Perhaps she does not understand the concepts of putting things together or taking them away — but surely that is NOT true, because she does well with word problems and was doing well with the workbooks you used before. Maybe she loses track of the numbers, especially when she tries to count in her head. If she isn’t sure of her math facts, she probably gets flustered when she has to deal with larger numbers.

Here’s my best guess: I think your daughter’s problem is that she has not quite internalized the place value system. She knows it on a surface level, but she needs to know it down in her bones. This is a key to understanding more math than you would think at first glance.

First Steps to Recovery

Drop the Saxon textbook, if you have not already done so. That book carries too much emotional baggage at this point.
Go to the library and check out Family Math if they have it, or The I Hate Mathematics! Book or Math For Smarty Pants, for a more interesting approach to mathematical thinking. Order them through library loan if you have to. Play around with math for awhile before you attempt to do textbooky work again.
Meanwhile, pick up a cheap workbook for practicing with numbers, or try a few online worksheets from my math resource page.
Whenever you are ready to try another textbook — next school year, perhaps? — look for one that will focus on conceptual understanding and word problems. I like the Primary Math series, but as you found out before, what works for someone else will not necessarily work for your daughter. If you get a chance to attend a curriculum fair, you may want to take her with you to look around at all the possibilities. Once you decide which math program to try, be sure to use their placement test, so you start working at just the right level.

Learn Math by Playing Games

Because the number 10 is the foundation of our place value system, your daughter needs to work on the sums that make 10 until she knows them instantly. If you say “6″ she needs to be able to say “4″ right back at you. At her age, this won’t take long, but it is super-important.
Practice with a math card game like Tens Concentration.
Practice the math facts until she is confident, and then practice them some more. Try the game that is worth 1,000 worksheets.
Play some of the advanced games at the end of my number bonds article.

Practice Mental Math Skills

Talk about how the pairs that make 10 can help her with mental addition and subtraction. If she needs to add 5+8, she knows that:

and

So
Or here is another way to look at the same problem. (There are many ways to approach any math problem!) To figure out 5+8, your daughter could ask herself, “How many more does 8 need to make 10?”
If she needs to figure out 13-7, she can do it backwards:

So

Be sure to notice that you are taking away the 3 and the 4, not taking away the 3 and then adding the 4!
It may help to use M&Ms or toothpicks to model the numbers, so she can move them around and find the 10. Practice this until she starts thinking in 10s and can immediately recognize them:

or

or

And so forth.
“Finding the 10″ may sound too simple for a student your daughter’s age, but this is the most important step, because our number system is set up in tens. In our base 10 place value system:

and

Etc.

Moving On to Bigger Numbers

Now use these same tricks to add or subtract some larger numbers, like her Yahtzee scores. Work in place value columns, but do it differently from what the textbook had her doing. No “carrying” allowed!
If she is going to add, say, 273+596, have her work from the bigger parts of the numbers to the smaller:

That should give her 7 hundreds, 16 tens, and 9 ones. She can even write it that way, with the 16 in the tens place, as an interim step — have her write the numbers with a wide space between place value columns to allow for this. And then she can easily see that those 16 tens are the same as one more hundred plus 6 tens.
For subtraction, try the same sort of trick. The next time she needs to subtract something like 462-175, work from the big part to the small part. Start with the hundreds:

Does she understand that 3 hundreds and 6 tens is the same as 36 tens? Now she is ready to take away the 7 tens.

Finally, take away the 5 ones.
She can work in her head if she wants, but she will probably want to write down the numbers as she goes through the steps, at least until she gets used to working this way. The main thing is to give her a different approach from what the textbook did — no “borrowing”! — and set her free from those negative feelings about math.

Japanilaiset ristikot laboratory: teaching mathematics in Finland with Japanese puzzles

2009-05-13T08:39:00.000-07:00

by Leena Helttula

Schools in Finland have a national part of the curriculum which covers most of the studies all students must have in order to graduate high school. Yet, there are also optional studies In Finland. We have nationally agreed for what we call "special advanced studies" in all the common subjects and schools are allowed to develop their own special courses for that matter. Thus, for two years in a row I have had the wonderful opportunity to include a course about Japanese puzzles to my teaching schedule at Turun iltalukio, night gymnasium for adults in Turku, Finland.

I have always thought that Japanese puzzles are the best possible option when trying to learn logical thinking and Ms. Vihervaara, the principal of Turun iltalukio, knows about my hobby solving them. She is very eager to develop our school and gave permission to try if this course would attract students. Since I am a mathematics teacher and all the courses should fit under some suitable school subject, I chose the course to be an advanced course in mathematics, the shorter syllabus.

My students are adults aged 18 to any age. Therefore my teaching differed very much from the experiments of teachers with young children. Most of mine had already tried Sudoku’s and could solve them. Some solved just easier puzzles, some wanted more advanced ones and some of them were already a bit bored of Sudoku’s. What a suitable group to get them introduced to other puzzles, especially the picture logic ones.

Free Printable Math Worksheets

Kidzone.ws and related sites, such as first-school.ws and coloring.ws are invaluable resources for homeschooling and afterschooling families. These sites are packed with coloring pages, free printable math worksheets, tracing pages, information, crafts projects, scissor skills, etc. Topics are wide-ranging. They include animals, seasons, music, countries, math, and more.

I especially like first-school.ws and its preschool themes. As an example, if you want to teach your child about frogs, you can go to the Animals theme. Then choose frogs from the list. This brings up tracing pages, lesson plans, crafts, coloring pages, online stories and activities. Kidzone.ws also has a frog section that includes the Life Cycle of the frog and a body parts page. You can also do comparisons. For example, you can compare the metamorphosis and life cycle of the frog to that of the butterfly.

With my daughter, I choose a theme and then go through the various coloring pages, free printable math worksheets, crafts, etc. I print out everything I want to do for that lesson. These sites have so many resources that you will need to plan what you want to use in advance. After my daughter has completed all of the activities, I staple the pages together and put them into a folder. We can then pull out the folder from time-to-time to look over what she has done and review what she has learned.

If you are teaching your child to write, you will love the tracing section. A nice feature here is that you can make your own tracing pages. So, you can make tracing pages with your child's name. Or if you want to introduce easier letters first, such as E, F, L, T, V, W, X, Z, you can customize the tracing sheets to suit your needs.

These sites are great. Don't homeschool or afterschool without them.

Mental Math Practice Worksheets

2009-05-07T01:25:00.001-07:00

By Shilpa Rao

Today, we all know the importance of learning and marveling at mathematics. And every time we visit our children's schools we see Chinese and Indian students marveling at SATs. And we all know why they succeed in Engineering and Medical fields. Answer is quite simple, they are good at Math. But why are they so good? How did they study Math that makes them so good at that one arduous subject?

When we go to teacher meetings we are told by the teachers, to marvel at Math one must practice, practice and practice. But what if the child loses interest in practicing math? We all have had our share of experiencing the monotonous boring task of memorizing times tables. And after so many years, the same is repeated by the teachers everywhere, except, Asia. What do these Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Indians, etc.) do to make their children so good with Mathematics? Answer is quite simple, practice, practice & practice. But what is it that those students actually practice?

Lately, Abacus math has taken some of these Asian nations by storm. Abacus is a Latin word that has its origins in the Greek words abax or abakon (meaning "table" or "tablet") which in turn, possibly originated from the Semitic word abq, meaning "sand". The abacus is an instrument, a manual tool invented by the Chinese 2000 years ago. Over the past five years, in nations like Malaysia, Taiwan and India, countless tutoring centers like Sylvan, Huntington and Kumon have sprung up but with one goal in mind, tutor abacus math. Most of these centers offer training using the Japanese "Soroban abacus", which has one upper row of beads and four lower rows. The Soroban abacus is particularly effective for teaching mathematical calculating skills to young children.

Using an abacus, a child can do all arithmetic calculations up to 10 digits and master the skill of doing it mentally, without relying on modern devices such as calculators.

There are procedures and training methodologies to master abacus use. When children use both hands to move the beads for small and large arithmetic calculations, the quick communication between hands and brain not only stimulates brain cells promoting speedier and faster calculation ability but also promotes quick, balanced and whole brain development.

Now that you know what are all the benefits of learning abacus math - let us continue talking about practicing math. Every textbook comes with few practice problems and we always feel that these few problems are not enough. We want more practice problems for our children and students. The next best alternative is to find math practice worksheets. There are many websites that offer you download-able practice worksheets for a small fee. And there are some websites that offer you for free. Some offer you predefined sheets where as very few websites offer you build your own math practice worksheets.

Usage of math practice sheets early on can instill a great habit of enjoying math and at the same time help to solidify mental math skills. And using these sheets to perform abacus math mentally is absolute fun for a child.

Free Homework Sheets

2009-05-07T01:22:00.000-07:00

By Nick Schofield

The students from both primary and middle schools often face problems with their homework. Though they attend their classes regularly but they are not able to understand few of the topics properly. This is not possible to get them solved by the teachers of the school as they have other classes to attend.

These topics remain unclear to them and the result is that they face problems while doing the homework. If these deficiencies are not made up the learning process will remain incomplete and the scores will be poor in exams.

This is of no use if you scold them later because this will not help them in anyways. So make sure that the kids are able to finish their homework at the right time. The online tutors are the best options as they can help the students when they need it at odd hours.

Sometimes the students get suffocated with the excess load of unfinished homework. This is the reason why you should get them some free homework sheets. These sheets are used to keep a track of daily homework and also the unfinished homework.

Assessment Criteria for Free Math Worksheets on the Internet

2009-05-05T12:00:00.000-07:00

Sites offering free math worksheets abound on the Internet. So what should free math worksheets look like? Are you searching for worksheets that have lots of problems for paper-pencil completion? Or is the illusive long division worksheet your quest? Finding the answers to these questions depends largely on personal preferences...and
more importantly who will be completing your freely printed math worksheets. Here are 10 criteria to keep in mind when selecting free arithmetic worksheets to use with students.

[1] Division worksheets are not all created equal. There are basically two types: math fact sheets and long division sheets. Math fact sheets are easy to create (with the division symbol between the numbers) and require few if any paper calculation from students. Long division sheets are more difficult to program, e.g., with or
without remainders, and allow for stepwise student completion of problems.

[2] Problems should use the Courier font. Why? Every Courier font character uses the same amount of space. A comma is the same width as the number 5. This means that all of the numbers line up perfectly for carrying during addition and bringing the zero down in division.

[3] Are the problems too close together? Make sure you can distinguish between the problem number and the actual problems. The problem numbers should be less obtrusive. Students with and without ADD and ADHD can become distracted by too many distractions!?

[4] Are there too many problems on the page? Some authors attempt to pack in the problems, leaving little room for students to show their work. The opposite can also be the case. Maybe there are not enough problems to accurately assess student knowledge.

[5] Are the digits on the printed page large or small? In my opinion and within reason, the numbers can never be too large. Exhibiting stress at an early age on elementary studentsí eyes from staring at small print can lead to stronger prescription lenses.

[6] Whereís the answer sheet? Are the answers correct? Are the answers listed in a column that you have to match with the student worksheets or on a replica of the student page laced with answers? Last thing you need is to be in a hurry and red mark student worksheets...when their answers were correct all along.

[7] The student worksheets should print squarely on the page. No cut offs allowed. A pet peeve: get rid of the header and footer if you are printing from a browser. Students donít need to know the URL of worksheets. Itís just plain tacky. If you
donít know how to get the header and footer to disappear, find someone who does.

[8] Developers of free math worksheets primarily use either of two methods for displaying and printing worksheets on the Internet. PDF pages require an additional piece of software, Adobe Acrobat, which should automatically open worksheets in your browser. PDF worksheets theoretically cannot be manipulated and display/print precisely as the developer designed. The second mode of delivery, HTML code, displays worksheets directly in your browser window. The downside of using HTML based worksheets is they are prone to printing problems. A worksheet meant for one page can easily bleed over to a second sheet.

[9] Some free math worksheet sites allow you to choose criteria, click a button, and generate a web page of problems. These types of web sites allow for worksheets that produce random digits in numbers. You should find more robust problems sets on web-generated math worksheets.

[10] How can web sites give away math worksheets? Do free math worksheet web sites make money? Yes and no. Let's just say it is very important that you visit and support your favorite free math worksheets web site!

In conclusion, nobody wants to pay for math worksheets anymore. Thatís OK because there are lots of places on the Internet to get freebies. Find arithmetic worksheets that address your needs and provide students with competitive problems sets, FOR FREE!
