SCHOOLS AND RIGHT BRAIN MATH
Math success or failure makes a big difference
Many kids struggle with math. Some kids are sad, angry, or frightened sitting through class. Their parents and teachers may suffer with them as kids cry over their homework or refuse to learn. It can affect their confidence and attitude in other classes and in school in general.
Right Brain Math is not only effective in teaching math, specifically the times tables. But one of its main benefits is that it creates a positive attitude about math as kids have fun playing with patterns while learning. Patterns are addictive because they are fun, and kids often go way beyond the class instructions. Kids will create the Sevens or Eights to 100 times 7 or 8, just because it is easy and THEY CAN.
This makes a kid feel powerful as they “own” numbers and get friendly with bigger numbers. Even kindergarten students have created the whole times table. See the free Mister Numbers videos (some are animated) which have over 170,000 views.
"As the administrator for a K-8 program, I am convinced that this system is
appropriate for children in second through eighth grade. Not only is this system a
handy way of learning multiplication, I believe that it also builds better number sense.”
– Bev Abrams

"How I wish I’d had this as a child. I just had flash of memory: standing up in class having to recite the multiplication tables—fear, contraction, tension. It was such a huge effort to memorize." -Kendra
"We plan to use EZ Times Tables throughout the grades next year. We will also be
hiring Mr. Biesanz to do a teacher in-service so that the entire faculty will be able to
train students to use this system. EZ Times Tables is a useful system for school and
home use. I highly recommend this publication to both educators and parents."
-- Bev Abrams, Santa Barbara Charter School principal
Laura Betti, an editor of Curriculum Review magazine says about EZ Times Table,
"I like the book because it is user-friendly and can be utilized with a variety of grade-school children".

in fact, one of the major factors is failure to master multiplication tables"
