What Teachers Say About Right Brain Math

  

“Some of my students who have had trouble memorizing their multiplication and division facts have been lucky enough to work Tom Biesanz. He has devised a brilliantly simple and easy to use system he calls “EZ TIMES TABLE” to help the students learn their basic facts.

-Greg, 5th grade teacher


“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

“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


“Many of the teachers are talking about how the kids are learning with your system and we want to use it next year in our school. The kids seem to enjoy the system and they like discovering this “trick” system. It seems very helpful and useful."

-Laura, 2nd grade teacher

 

“The students love it! It makes so much sense. It’s great!”
-Jenny, 3rd grade teacher

"Mr. Biesanz's EZ Times Table book will be a valuable resource for parents
 to help their children master multiplication facts. I am purchasing a copy 
for the families at the school where I teach. Many kids who traditionally
 have trouble with multiplication will find that the connections and patterns
 revealed in this book help multiplication make sense in new ways. This 
method provides a way for kids to re-create the times tables when they
 are "stuck," and is also helpful for division and fractions." 

-Teresa, a Home Based School teacher

"Who would have thought that multiplication could be taught via tic-tac-toe! I've taught the threes and sevens using the tic-tac-toe strategy from Mr. Number's EZ Times Table book. I love having this video to use in the future! I've had remedial students create the threes and sevens while doing time tests. I love this guy!"
-response to MisterNumbers Sevens on the Magic Blackboard video



What Schools Say About Right Brain Math

"I strongly recommend EZ Times Tables created by Tom Biesanz as an innovative way to teach multiplication and division.  This wonderful visual tool helps students make friends with numbers. Both students who have had trouble memorizing their multiplication tables and students who are just being introduced to multiplication and division respond with enthusiasm to this system. 

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. Students throughout our school love playing with these tables. The system is especially effective with visual learners and children who like games or puzzles.

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 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."
Sincerely,
Bev Abrams, Director of Education


What Parents Say About Right Brain Math 

 

“It was fun watching my boys get so excited not only about learning, but comprehending and retaining the math you were teaching. The amount of time that they were eager to sit still and learn math was amazing to me. I don't think I have ever seen either of them willing to spend that much time with any one subject.”                                                                            
 -Lori, a parent of first grade twins

“It's infectious to see and feel the energy of a child discovering and learning and developing confidence so quickly--while having fun! revolutionary!”


“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

 


What Others Say about Right Brain Math

 

 

EZ Times Table is a simple, systematic approach, which assists in memorization of multiplication facts. Review and repetition are built into each lesson. Using movement, rhythm, and visual patterns to explore multiplication, Thomas Biesanz has created a program to engage students of all learning styles. These patterns are a useful tool for multiplication mastery.
-Linda Burks
 www.math-mom.com

"Learning the times tables becomes a game as children learn fun patterns while filling in the EZ TIMES TABLES charts. Instead of learning one math fact at a time (which is not only difficult but highly inefficient), children learn a pattern for the entire table. Table by table, they construct a times tables matrix for tables 1-10. Pattern play develops number sense. EZ TIMES TABLES will intrigue your child.
Highly recommended as a resource for parents and teachers."
-Eugenia Francis, author of Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables


Tom, thanks so much, it (The Sevens video) looks great.
–Mike Byster (Mike’s Math was seen on 20/20)

What a wonderful system you have created. How wonderful to see his confidence building!
It's so fun to see Oscar so engaged and excited while learning, and Tom so engaged and excited while teaching. It's obvious that Tom has created a kid-friendly, easy and fun way to learn the times table.
-comments on 5-year-old Learns Multiplication in an Hour video

 

I like the book (EZ Times Table) because it is user-friendly
and can be utilized with a variety of grade school children.
