Videos 5 - 8 of the series that supports and expands upon the Child's Play Math 1 & 2 program. Child's Play Math is designed to introduce math concepts to children from the age of 5 years through to the age of 11 years. It can equally be used as an effective 'catch-up' programme for older children or adults who struggled to grasp math concepts the first time round. Video 5: Important Words and Phrases - reveals the key words and phrases used to introduce math concepts to very young children when working with Cuisenaire Rods; Video 6: Developing Memory Recall - the 'Learning Equation' and how it is fundamental to the success of the Child's Play Math programme; Video 7: Mental Imaging - explains what 'mental imaging' is, how it can accelerate your child's progress, and games to play to help develop this crucial ability; Video 8: Cardinal Number - the common consequence of children failing to grasp this concept at an early stage in their development and how the programme enables them to acquire it naturally. Also included are the accompanying PPT Presentations that comprise part of each video. Four new videos plus the PPT Presentations will be added each month. Together they comprise a full years course.

The Amazing Color Factor Multiplication Square is a resource that can be copied and duplicated for your children, pupils and students as many times as is needed. It facilitates whole brain learning by bringing into play many of the brain’s most natural and powerful abilities. Although especially effective if you are already familiar with the play based approach to maths outlined in Child’s Play Math 1 and 2 it can also be used independently of these programs as a powerful learning aid. Topics covered include: Sequence of Tables Products Square Numbers Division Division with Remainders Fractions as Operators Introducing Numerators Factors Prime Numbers Fractions Handling Data and Area Pythagoras' Theorem I used to photocopy the Square, laminate it and fix it to the child's desk.

The book comes with a download link to our unique math manipulatives app for Windows. We are genetically encoded to learn and children are natural learners. For them the process of learning is a journey of exploration and discovery. Learning should be fun. Today we know more about how children learn than ever before. Then why is it that so many adults have a negative attitude towards maths? This book reveals how through the natural process of play, games and open ended activities that allow for personal exploration and discovery, young children can gain an understanding of maths concepts generally considered too advanced for them. The program uses the most precise arithmetical model ever devised – Cuisenaire Rods. The rods embrace all the learning styles and provide links to language and art. But this program is not just about maths – it is about learning, specifically 'learning how to learn'. Through interaction with the program children will acquire generic learning skills that will stand them in good stead whatever they are engaged in.

Book 1& 2 of Child's Play Math is a program that introduces math concepts to children through the natural process of play, games and open ended activities. Adopting this approach through the medium of Cuisenaire rods, the most precise arithmetical model ever devised, ensures young children gain an understanding of math concepts generally considered too advanced for them. The rods themselves embrace all the learning styles and provide links to language and art. They help children access the most powerful abilities the brain possesses and this ‘brain friendly’ approach is often referred to as ‘whole brain’ or ‘accelerated’ learning. Child's Play Math consists of over 60 units of work and is applicable to every year group. It has also been used successfully with parents who failed to grasp math concepts the first time around. This program is not just about math – it is about learning, specifically learning how to learn. Through interaction with the program your child will acquire generic learning skills that will stand him/her in good stead whatever activity he/she is engaged in. A Cuisenaire Rod app for Windows is part of this package. “I love this approach to teaching math with my students. . .” Eugenia B. (Teacher) “This is a wonderful program. . .
