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! While governor of Texas (1991-1995), Ann Richards said “MOVE IT Math is a quantum leap ahead of traditional math instruction now taught in Texas classrooms.... Nothing changed!

107 Favorite iPad Apps for K-8 Great iPad apps for K-8 Tablet computing and mobile devices promise to have a dramatic impact on education. 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). In my school, we have been rotating one set of Pads this year through K-8. Drawing AirSketch Free–Turn your iPad into a wireless whiteboard!

Homeschool How Master Math works for Home Schooled Students There are over 145 lessons, scheduled as 6th, 7th, 8th grade or Algebra 1 curriculum. Each lesson includes a 10 – 20 minute Video Lesson explaining a concept. Unlike other video math lessons, our videos include “You Try It” sections, where the student is given a problem, asked to pause the video, try the problem, and then restart the video. I then tell them the correct answer and show them how I did it. Each lesson also includes A printable Worksheet with problems similar to those covered in the video;An Answer Sheet with solutions to the Worksheet Problems;An Online Quiz: If the student gets a problem wrong, an explanation of the solution appears;Cool Links to other websites for practice and further discussion of the concept.At the end of each quarter, there is an exam covering the concepts of that quarter.

Leonhard Euler (Swiss mathematician) -- Encyclopedia Britannica Leonhard Euler, (born April 15, 1707, Basel, Switz.—died Sept. 18, 1783, St. Petersburg, Russia), Swiss mathematician and physicist, one of the founders of pure mathematics. He not only made decisive and formative contributions to the subjects of geometry, calculus, mechanics, and number theory but also developed methods for solving problems in observational astronomy and demonstrated useful applications of mathematics in technology and public affairs. Euler’s mathematical ability earned him the esteem of Johann Bernoulli, one of the first mathematicians in Europe at that time, and of his sons Daniel and Nicolas. By means of his numerous books and memoirs that he submitted to the academy, Euler carried integral calculus to a higher degree of perfection, developed the theory of trigonometric and logarithmic functions, reduced analytical operations to a greater simplicity, and threw new light on nearly all parts of pure mathematics.
