MOVE IT Math™ ALL KIDS CAN LEARN ARITHMETIC Research Based Math Program Since 1974, thousands of children in classes using MOVE IT Math™ have learned arithmetic and done so years in advance of children locked into any of the major textbook series for elementary school math, including those published by Harcourt School Publishers, Houghton Mifflin, MacMillan McGraw-Hill, Saxon, Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley (enVision MATH), and the University of Chicago School Math Project (Everyday Math). They all stifle children’s mathematical growth with their sluggish, mind-numbing development of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers with huge percentages of children still “not getting it.” Not rectifying this issue alone could cost the nation $75 trillion (not billion) over the next 80 years!

A growing number of schools across the world are jumping on the digital bus and embracing iPads (less often, other tablet products) as the latest tool to teach literature in multimedia, history through games and simulations, and math with step-by-step animation of problems. Not surprisingly, student scores improve when they use iPads and their interest in school soars. I say not surprisingly because students love digital toys and in my experience work harder and longer if given the opportunity to do so with any of the digital offerings (ipods, laptops included).
