This is a TINY LITTLE Math Book! It is designed to be fun, intriguing and irresistible. 100 Pages of Art, Math, Logic and Activities that will help your child to figure out how to ADD & SUBTRACT without any of those boring old methods. Your child will be able to master his or her adding and subtracting skills without the usual memorization and flash card methods that cause children to dislike math.
This book is perfect for anyone at any age who still counts on their fingers. Yes mom, it could be you. What a silly habit! Your children will be tickled to see you using this tiny book as you overcome your finger counting dependency issues.
This is a beginners book of addition, subtraction and skip counting and it can be used for all ages. There are some activities designed to be enjoyed together - with a parent or older sibling. Many activities can be enjoyed without any help from grown-ups. We use Art & Logic to teach math - it's more like a game book than a workbook.
This book is not designed for a specific age or grade level, it is for children who have not mastered their addition and subtraction skills. Many older children, and even some grown-ups, who have had trouble with memorization can use this book to overcome problems with learning math facts. This book can also be used at a 1st math book for children who enjoy writing very small numbers.
WARNING -Don't buy this if you don't want a TINY book. It's 4x6 inches.
The logic games in this book ensure that the activities will be interesting for older children, but the games are still simple enough to be used with little children - with a little help.
In this little book we call math problems "Math Mysteries", so kids don't grow up thinking that math is a problem to be avoided but a mystery to be solved.
This little book is fun! Your child will even get the chance to be CREATIVE with math and numbers! On some pages the child is asked to create a math problem for someone older - like mom, dad, or a big brother or sister!
This book can be enjoyed alone or together. So get some colored pencils or gel pens and help your child color the cute little characters. If your child struggles with any of the "Math Mysteries" you should say "It might be hard, but it looks like FUN! can I try it?" If the child says "Yes" then you can take a turn solving some Math Mysteries - this is how you can be an example to your child of how to do math, and how to have a good attitude towards learning and solving problems... I mean mysteries!
We encourage homeschooling moms and parents of young children to keep this tiny math book handy, wherever you go. The coloring will keep you or your child content while waiting around for doctors or mechanics.
We can't even begin to stress the impact this book will have on your child's interest in math, schoolwork, and numbers... If they catch you using it yourself. There is nothing greater than the power of example to help you to "be the change you want to see in your child."
Did you know that many children struggle with reading, writing, math and numbers because they never see adults in the real world modeling the use of these foundational skills? They see us "playing" on our phones, though we may be using our skills, they think we are just playing games and watching silly videos. Find ways to show your children that you use the skills that they are learning in school.
This book is as small as an iPhone, so you can easily take it with you. Let your child see you having fun with math. Many parents send the wrong message about math, stop now, get a copy of this book for every member of the family.
