not a math person? Poppycock!
When you look at the research in this article, it's easy to see that math scores are on the verge of an educational explosion. As we learn more about the brain and its capabilities, we are beginning to see just how impressively it can adapt. There is a link to the research done with taxi drivers in London showing how portions of their brains grow when studying for a test and shrink after they retire.
Then there are...
So a small adjustment to the attitudes we have toward math can result in big improvements achievement. And all teachers know that small successes build confidence. (It's one of the choices for electronic report card comments.)
AlgebraCARDS works to build confidence by helping learners to see and hear the concepts of algebra with clarity and in full color. Because we have made a podcast for every card, it just so happens that your brain will grow when you study with AlgebraCARDS. Designed to make math learning fun and engaging, most cards have a "Let's Play" review to show you how to win at the game of math. Get your cards here! Listen to the podcasts here! Practice everyday, and you'll see your math scores take flight! |
Are you helping your child with math homework? "Researchers tracked more than 400, 1st and 2nd grade students whose parents provided different levels of help with their homework. They also assessed both parents' and kids' attitudes toward math at the beginning and end of the school year.
Students whose parents reported high math anxiety made significantly less progress in math over the course of a year, and they were more likely to become anxious themselves—but only if their anxious parents sweated through helping them with homework."

| Supported Reading is a fancy term for "Follow along while so-and-so reads to you." It has been shown to help all types of students learn in all subject areas. Since learning math is like learning another language and supported reading is another form of effective learning, wouldn't it be great to have a language lab for algebra? Math learners would get to Preview and Review content, and they would be "38% more likely to learn" when listening to someone read about algebra. Teachers would benefit from this, too. If their students preview the material, teachers get a classroom full of active listeners. |  
AlgebraCAST is a library of podcasts for every card we have designed. It's another way to learn algebra. When students follow along with AlgebraCARDS, every podcast has a purpose. This multimedia format is a Supported Reading technique that also gives learners control of the reader, a very important static image, and their own personal listening lab. |
