Helping You Help Students Learn
WHAT WORKS?
Parents: Put an end to math misery!
Teachers: Provide more practice in less time! Customize student practice!
Flash cards have been used successfully for decades for learning everything from foreign languages to medical terms. But for math, flash cards have usually been designed only for memorization of math facts
(4 x 6 = 24) or definitions ("divisor").
At last, the Mills' Mastery of Mental Math program puts the power of flash cards to work in a whole new way. In place of rote, repetitive learning, Mills' Math cards engage the learner in active problem solving - "in your head" - to break through common stumbling blocks and secure understanding of fundamental numeric concepts.
The Mills' Mastery of Mental Math program represents a remarkable advance in building lifelong mathematical literacy for every learner. The concept-based approach to mastery follows standard instructional sequences and provides the basis for tackling more advanced problems in written work.

Results Student starts by reading the problem correctly.
Students solve basic problems mentally. Less duplicating; less searching for practice problems Mix the order; mix the concepts. Practice more problems in less time. Build foundation for more complex problems. Question with answer on back of each card. Student sees relationship between question and answer. Take and use them anywhere. Student can point to, trace, cover elements of the problem to aid focus and understanding. Long-lasting May use dry-erase pens. Easy to find and keep concepts organized. |
