What makes us human? Opposable thumbs, memory? I think it’s the ability to determine to change, change, and be aware of the change.
Willingness to change is more important than the material, often.
It must be a big change.
I came up with the Idea of making an easily useable, understandable podcast that anyone from third-grade-level on should be able to understand, that will help them get better at basic math, so they can “eat it for breakfast.” There will be one lesson for each weekday.
These are very simple lessons, but it’s important to remember that simple does not mean easy. You will have to actively learn, and do the simple exercises in the lessons.
This first series of podcast lessons is meant to be the next step of learning how to turbo-charge your basic multiplication skills once you already know how to multiply one-digit numbers (like 6 x 7) using mental- and speed-math.
The first step is to make sure you know those one-digit multiplications “in your bones.” I feel the best way to lear them is with “Numbers Juggling – Times Without the Tables.”
These lessons are perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to multiply large numbers, like 7,693, times one-digit numbers, like 8, in their head, without pencil, paper, or heaven forbid, a calculator.
The lessons are free (for the time being) and you can find out more about them by clicking on the link on the left, entitled “Eating Math for Breakfast – Info., or you can click here.
