ABOUT RIGHT BRAIN MATH

Sarah Jane learns the EZ Times TableRight Brain Math is a whole new way to teach math. It is a fun, easy, and effective way to learn Math. Kids create simple structures where they play with patterns and create the times tables. Right Brain Math plays with visual patterns, rhythms, overviews, and relationships of numbers.

Right Brain Math helps numbers reveal secrets to their friends, the students.

Right Brain Math plays with the smaller parts of numbers and includes the big picture. It plays with the whole times table and sometimes just the ones-digits number (we call them the Ones-ies) patterns.

Right Brain Math is more fun, quicker, and provides better retention, and deeper understanding than other ways to teach math.

Right Brain Math creates confidence and a positive attitude about math.

Right Brain Math Makes Friends with Numbers

ABOUT THE EZ TIMES TABLE

EZ Times Table bookEZ Times Table teaches by playing with fun patterns. Traditional math instruction relies mainly on rote memory work. Many kids get turned off to math. The USA math results are falling behind other countries. EZ Times Table is a revolutionary visual and auditory introduction to math. Kids only need to count to ten and know that 2, 4, 6, 8, and 0 are the even numbers to create for themselves the whole times table. Kids as young as kindergarten can enjoy making the EZ Times Table. Students now have a structure for numbers that makes sense to a child’s brain.

This right-brain approach presents instructions, additional information for parents/teachers, and a full 8.5” x11” table for each step, detailing the result with playful graphics on the side. Employing the EZ Times Table, the book then shows how to use it to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, factors, squares, place value, prime numbers, and more.

EZ Times Table continues the pattern play. It uses a Tic-Tac-Toe square to create the 3’s and 7’s. It invites kids to use pattern play to create the 2’s, 4’s, 6’s, 8’s, and 9’s, and ends with instructions to create a 20 x 20 multiplication table simply from patterns. Free instructional videos are available on Youtube by MisterNumbers and a DVD’s are available. This approach effectively teaches math. It promotes a crucial, positive attitude toward numbers. EZ Times Table also teaches pattern recognition, important in all learning, in a fun whimsical way. This book is useful to parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to help a kid have fun with math.

“The EZ TIMES TABLE is a helpful tool for both remediated and excelled math students. Students are able to construct the entire multiplication table using this ingenious format. Number patterns are laid out for discovery. My students enjoyed the success of zipping through the process."

-Teresa, Third Grade Teacher



The book, EZ Times Table is an introduction to Right Brain Math and gives instructions to having students create an EZ Times Table. Each step is illustrated in a full 8.5” x 11” table with fun graphic images. On each direction page there is a “More Information” section for teachers with additional ideas, suggestions, options, and more.
Even some kindergarten kids have had fun creating the times table. See a video of Oscar.


The EZ Times Table can be used for addition in Kindergarten and first grade, and uses the same structure over the years to move to subtraction, multiplication, division, factors, place value, and prime numbers. It also has a link with slope graphs and teaches kids to make and read tables.


“I am excited about the EZ TIMES TABLES and its structured, concrete, and logical approach to multiplication and division. I taught my 22 Fourth graders how to build their own EZ TIMES TABLES and their comments reflected their discoveries as the inquiry process helped them see the relationships between numbers and facts. I also presented EZ TIMES TABLES at a faculty meeting and 6 teachers asked how they could teach EZ TIMES TABLES to their students.”
-Francis, 3rd grade teacher

10 Main Benefits Showing Why Right Brain Math's EZ Times Table Should Be Included In Elementary Math K-5

1. EZTT reveals the whole times table from patterns while kids have fun creating it.
2. Students combine learning with playing with patterns (right brain). They are motivated and form a positive attitude toward math.

3. EZ Times Table (EZTT) creates a structure, a one page graphic organizer, for understanding numbers that makes sense to kids. Factors and squares are immediately recognizable in EZTT.

4. EZTT is appealing to a variety of students, and effective because it is based on multiple learning strategies (right brain).

5. EZTT is based on the Ones and Twos, which are easy for students. This helps students "own" multiplication because it makes sense to them.
6. EZTT can be seen as multiplication OR repeated addition.

7. EZTT can be used in kindergarten to teach a number line, and in first grade to teach addition and subtraction. It can use the same structure to flow effortlessly into multiplication, and then to division, tables, graphs, place value, factors, and prime numbers.

8. EZTT teaches pattern recognition which is important in all areas of learning (right brain).
9. EZTT is complementary to other math teaching methods such as arrays, object grouping, grids on graph paper, flash cards, Circles and Stars (Marilyn Burns), number lines, and more.

10. EZTT fits kids learning style, which is more right brained, interested in rhythm, patterns, sound, relationships and an overview of "how it works".

CREATOR OF RIGHT BRAIN MATH AND AUTHOR OF EZ TIMES TABLE


Author Tom Biesanz   Tom Biesanz is also MisterNumbers on Youtube.  He taught an advanced math class at a charter school and then taught test preparation.

   He developed Right Brain Math to help individual students who were refusing to do ANY math problems. He based it on the Ones and Twos, which the students were willing to explore. The students played with the patterns and changed their ability and their attitude about math. He had no intention of creating a math system.

   However he found that kids who had been stuck and confused quickly understood and had fun with the patterns. Kids with varied learning styles enjoyed learning it and soon he was teaching teachers about this revolutionary approach to teaching math.

   He wrote the book EZ Times Table and has a patent pending on Right Brain Math. EZ Times Table has been written up in Curriculum Review magazine and Tom has been going to Math conferences and will do a presentation at the California Math Council convention in Monterey on Dec 6-7, 2008.
