What is Math Mojo?

 Math Mojo is a way of looking at math that fosters a sense for numbers. The more new ways you learn and practice, the more of a feel you will get for manipulating and understanding how numbers work. They will become less of a mystery, and you will feel better about your ability to do math.   These methods are based on several different speed-math techniques. They all work at least as well as the methods that you were taught in school. In fact, schools that teach these methods do much better than the national average.

   As far as I know, this is the only site on the web that teaches these techniques with interactive methods. Tell your friends, parents, children, co-workers, teachers, students (and anyone else who is interested in learning new ways to view learning) about this site. This site is intended for people who would like to learn math on their own. No prior knowledge of anything is needed. Not even multiplication tables.

Here is the big secret: Most of Math Mojo is gaining deep knowledge of arithmetic. Not the flimsy "basic skills" you are taught in school, but a deeper knowledge of WHY NUMBERS AND OPERATIONS WORK THE WAY THEY DO.  Math Mojo consists of better ways to explore the inner workings of the simple operations. Then you can use that kind of exploration and insight to gain deeper understanding of further mathematical mysteries.

   If you are serious about achieving meaningful insights into how your mind can deal with math, check out the series of Math Mojo Booklets and Dowloads you can order. Click on the picture of the dog on the left.   I'm sure you will have specific things you would like to learn. E-mail me your suggestions for future lessons.
