LAST CHANCE 2016 PASSWORD SALE

Start off the new year right with a nifty new PASSWORD at a great price. 7 day sale starts NOW. (14Jan2016) Some of you need to quit using shared passwords you didn't pay for and come clean.  NOTE: many of the the links below have FREE videos that show you how to teach math, and samples of what you will find behind the paywalls. People find these quite valuable too.  Even if you don't buy anything: learn some math while your here.

Sale Price: $225.00 Reg price: $249.00
2016 price: $350.00

You save almost enough to by a combo kit combo. But for sure enough to get a set of blocks. People often buy blocks but have no idea how to best use them. Indeed, entire companies have been set up that fail to give you the training and info you need to best use your base ten blocks.

Training in San Diego.

This is your last chance to get them before prices go up again. Also a last chance to get "live" video training for 1/2 off. I will be doing monthly webinars for just 100 bucks for 4 to 5 hours of training. Questions get answered, discoveries are made, problems solved and parents and teachers emerge with a whole new attitude toward math and math fun. Take a moment and check out these testimonials I've collected...lol...and this isn't even all of them. Here are a bunch more.  

YOU can have results like that too; change your children's math life forever and avoid MANY problems that are coming in the very near future if you keep doing math the "traditional" way by getting started NOW. The longer you wait the worse it gets...some of you may already be here now and you will find it is much easier to avoid problems than to fix them.


The GETTING STARTED PAGE is a 5 dollar value all by itself. Many people have found it useful to go to that page and use it as a starting point. Make sure to check out the FREE PDF's on that page too. You will find lots of FREE vids chock full of valuable useful information on many of the page links you find here.

Four Passwords.  Note: there are free lessons and videos you will find useful on almost all of the "entry" pages for the password protected pages below.  Just click the links below for short FREE lessons



Lifetime Passwords are just that...you get a pass for a lifetime. Pay once and you are good, forever. Come back as often as you like. Watch vids, download PDFs. You get all my passwords to get through all my pay walls all for one low price...currently that takes 4 passwords. When you purchase the LIFETIME you get it all.

I

Sitewide. 

Sitewide: this is the password that gets you the most bang for the buck. It's the password that gets you into the most pages. It gets you into all of these pages (and more):

Advanced Algebra:  This page show how to do negative expressions and integers as well as graphing polynomials, some story problems and more. Shows little kids doing "advanced" math. The point is not that they are geniuses the point is if they can do it you can do it and learn how o show your kids too.  There is NO PLACE else you will find 5 and 6 year olds factoring problems like x² - x - 6 or 8 year olds factoring third and fourth power polynomials and HAVING FUN DOING IT.  They ask for it. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/homeschool-math-advanced-algebra-entry-page.html 

Percentages:This page is great because it makes percentages so easy. Problems like 12 is what percent of 40?  Or 49 is 70% of what number? Are super easy once you can see what you are doing. This page is priceless because the knowledge you find on it is contained nowhere else on the internet that I've seen. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Percentages-With-Base-Ten-Blocks-Entry.html 

Problem Solving. This page makes problem solving child's play; also introduces systems of equations using "Ten Apples Up On Top".  Problems like  3x - 2 =  2x + 5 are explained in detail.
http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/PPPS-Entry.html 

Sample Lessons: This page alone is worth the whole price. Not just theory but theory in practice you get to see me "do it," unrehearsed on the fly with real live students of all ages and abilities. As one little girl recently said, "it's WAY more fun when you are doing it, than just watching videos." This is why we say math is NOT a spectator sport. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Sample-Lessons-Entry.html

Sample Lessons with Sarah: Speaking of theory in practice, here is a page of vids with me working with an autistic girl. You see some of the actual lessons that got her to pass her GED and ACT Compass test. We should be very thankful to Sarah and her mom for giving me permission to use these. "Maybe another autistic  person like me will see it and they will know math is easy too because they saw me. Yeah?" I have been told this is an invaluable resource because it shows how to break concepts down so simply that her autism isn't a barrier and at times can actually be an advantage. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Sarahs-Entry-Page.html

DBoyz playing with math. Example isn't a way to teach. It's THE ONLY way to teach. At Crewton Ramone's House of Math I don't show you how theory...I show you how.  You too can tailor lessons for you kids that make learning math fun easy and personalized for your child. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Dboyz-Entry-Page.html

Raymond's Page. More sample lessons with another student. This a bright young student. By now it should start to ecome clear the concepts are the same and so are some of the lessons...the more you see theory in practice the easier it will be to practice the theory with you own students and get stellar results. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Raymonds-Entry-Page.html

Emma's Page:  This child was labeled, they wanted to introduce drugs. As Far as I could tell she was a normal child who was just bored to tears in school. http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Emma.html


Functions & Relationships This is a pdf of one of the old out of print Series A manuals. Clears up a lot of issues students have with pre-calculus concepts and shows you how to do some basic water tank and constant rate problems with a half hour video. Again, nobody is showing you how to do this kind of math with the ten and under crowd. NOBODY.  http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/Series-A-Manual-Functions-And-Relationships.html

This is NOT a complete list, explore and discover--find a couple of Easter Eggs for yourself. When in doubt use your sitewide password. If it doesn't work, email me for the new one but make sure you aren't on one of the three pages below first. Side note: there are Free videos and training which you will find valuable on all of these pages.

SCREECASTS: Here are two pages many people overlook. One has over 70 FREE screencasts and the Password Protected Screencast Page on has another 23 vids which equates to more than 4 hours more training via screencast. All are short video lessons, usually less than 10 minutes long, (none of them more than 15 minutes long) so you can do it in bite size pieces. http://screencast-o-matic.com/channels/cXV10bV2S

TEST PAGE: Here is a test page to see if you have the right password:
http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/password-test.html

This Trig page ALONE is worth the entire cost of a lifetime password...I have heard that many times now. Getting people to comment and write testimonials is like pulling teeth.  The fact that I have so many in and of itself should be a clue to some of you. Please go back and leave comments good bad or indifferent on these pages so people can see it's not just me. 
http://www.crewtonramoneshouseofmath.com/trigonometry-with-base-ten-blocks-entry.html

I have another Trig page, "How to teach trig to eight year olds" that has gotten quite a few hits that you can buy by itself if you want, but it is included when you buy a Lifetime Pass. See below.

II

Parent Teacher Training.

Parent Teacher Training: This Password alone is worth the price all by itself. You get hours of video training along with Pdfs to go with. This year I will be adding transcripts of these trainings too. As people who got in back when there was just one password for 100 bucks have found, once you get a Lifetime Pass the benefits keep coming. If you want results like the ones you see in the screenshots of comments you see peppered throughout this blog, then you may also want to come to a "live" video training or two.  The Teacher training page is made up of videos taken directly from some of those trainings along with links to more pages and video and supporting pdfs that you can download.  Also for those that have been through the training and are on facebook please go put some comments HERE.

You can also purchase ANNUAL passes for JUST the Sitewide or JUST the Parent Teacher Training, or both.  ANNUAL passes are good for one year only.  I have found that quite a few people convert from annual to lifetime...and NO, you don't get credit toward the Lifetime if you already bought an annual.

Bonus Pages: 

III

EZ PZ OVERVIEW 

&

IV

HOW TO TEACH TRIG TO AN EIGHT YEAR OLD

As an added Bonus to those who get lifetime passes I have so far made TWO BONUS pages.  The EZ PZ overview that comes with what looks like a complicated flow chart, but actually it's EZPZ lemon squeezee, hence the name and the Trig to Eight Year Olds Page which helps make trig child's play...because math is child's play.  Even trig.

 The EZ PZ Page goes along with the P/T training and gives you an Bird's Eye overview of how the method works and what to be doing with your students and children. It also gives you an idea of when to introduce what and ideas on how to make learning 45 addends and 400 math facts as painless as possible...in fact move from painless to FUN.

The Trig To Eight year old page breaks down basic trig functions like SIN, COS and TAN and make them concrete and understandable. Finding angles and sides is easy when you can get you hands on it and understand what the words mean and what the questions are asking. Actual lessons show you how to show your kids (or yourself) how easy trig can be.

Training

Training will be monthly (there may be some special sessions in between the monthly sessions). Cost is 100 bucks a session which works out around 20 to 25 bucks an hour. Training woks like this. Simple.  I usually charge 50 bucks an hour, and people think it's worth it. For an idea of what happens during training click HERE,  During the sale you can purchase tutoring or training with the button below.

Crewton Ramone In Action.

You are getting HALF OFF for the training.

And if you buy more you get one or two free passes. Usually I only offer 2 free classes if you spend 400 bucks but I threw one in free starting at 250 bucks...for those of you that want tutoring this means you don't have to cough up 400 bucks at once to get a free class...after the sale it's back to 400.

Basically if you buy 8 classes the rate is 40 bucks an hour instead of 50.
If you buy 5 classes the rate is $41.67 instead of 50 because I'm throwing in one in for free at the lower price point for this sale only.

People have found the training to be very worthwhile.  It's not the same as in person but vid training is definitely the next best thing to being there.

How do trainings work?

Basic Concepts & Principles.

When a great man walks among fools, the fools know him not.

This is what my guru looks like.

This has got to be one of my favorite humans currently on the planet.  And I've never met him in person.  I aim to remedy that in April.

Turns out lemons are sour.

Money is not a measure of greatness, heart is...although this guy has made more money in a year than many people reading this will make in their lifetime.  This is a good ol' Montana boy who has done good. If you have a message you want to get out to the world, (mine just so happens to be math), this would be a good guy to pay attention to,  he also has several books and eCourses that you might enjoy whether you think you have a message or not. Currently I'm plowing thru the Motivation Manefesto.

This video is particularly relevant to the last several trainings I've had and quite a few emails where sadly parents admit they pretty much have forgotten to how to have fun, certainly can't believe that MATH can be fun, and that learning SHOULD be fun, and that life in general should also be fun. Although they see that drilling and grilling their little kids on math facts might be counter productive they don't know what else to do because that's they way they were taught and that's the only experience they had with math...mostly negative...and certainly that's the prevailing wisdom in public schools. In fact MORE TESTING seems to be their only solution.

"Don't I need worksheets?" "Shouldn't I get some workbooks?" "What do mean just play with the blocks?"

I mean just play with the blocks. Just play math. Explore. Discover. Together.


For those that attended the last training for 20 bucks (which worked out to 5 bucks an hour) and had fun, do as I say, not as I do...

Friday Trainings have become "a thing"...and this next Friday I'm going to up the price a little bit to $25.00 but defer payment...instead of paying me directly I invite you to join my Kiva team. AFTER you loan the money out and you get paid back you can pay me the funds or you can loan it out again and we'll call it even or you can pay me and I'll loan it out but I'd rather have more team members and it's more fun if you get to chose the loan and the country. I obviously like farming and Ecuador but maybe you'd rather it go someplace else. You could also just join the Kiva team (or some other Kiva team) if you wanted. Wouldn't hurt nothin'.

Last few trainings have been pretty cool, USA, Romania, Canada, Gambia represented. I would love to see a training with all five continents represented one day...soon. Also look for details of a Saturday training instead of a Friday training soon...several people have said they want to come but because of work or kids or whatever it makes Fridays impossible. It sure ain't the money.

Also Brendan has many more GREAT videos and I would encourage anybody doing anything to make time to watch a few (or all) of them.

Details can be found on my FB page here on this blog and soon on the website since it has become a thing....you might want to attend one of the trainings themselves because be assured what happens there and what gets edited and put on the parent teacher training page are two very different things...people are getting a lot out of the training page however...and for the money you can't beat it.

Base Ten Blocks and Math Anxiety.

I have seen students whose confidence is so shaken by calculus or algebra that adding small numbers is no longer certain....the reptilian brain kicks in even basic operations become difficult...too much stress or anxiety and you can literally do about two things: fight or flee. This is why in martial arts you fight calmly and better yet with no conscious mind....otherwise the reptile kicks in and you can't remember what to do even if you have practiced for certain situations 1000 times.

I remember a student who was excellent in the dojo...got his belts easily etc. Went to his first competition and got his ass kicked by another guy who was considered less skilled...because he panicked and by his own admission "forgot everything." I have also heard of stories where guys get in street fights and lose with guys who are untrained because of the same reason.

What does this have to do with math and base ten blocks? PLENTY.

It's the EXACT same thing when a student with test anxiety is tested on subject matter with which they would otherwise be completely conversant and familiar...but get an "F" because during the test they can't think.

I remember a student who I worked with coming back with an "F" on material we both knew he knew:

"What was I thinking!" he exclaimed looking at one answer that should have been obvious and to which he wrote a completely wrong answer.
"You weren't thinking."
"Gee, thanks..."
"I'm not criticizing you...you couldn't think..."

And I then went on to explain what happened, and for that hour we did no math but talked about how to handle test anxiety and math anxiety and did some breathing exercises...explaining the flight or flight syndrome so they understand that what's happening is not only normal but HARD WIRED IN for SURVIVAL removes the "I'm stupid" thoughts, allows them to recognize it when it starts to occur and nip in the bud and deal with it instead of letting it run away with their their thought and emotions.

This student went on to pass his class with quite a few 100's something for which I'm famous, (check these vids out) and his parents gave me a hefty tip at the end of the year...he might have gotten an "A" if he hadn't started of with so many scores under 40...lol...and that's another thing too many parents wait till the kid is failing before they "breakdown" and get help. 

This also why the emphasis is on having FUN and playing: so the reptilian brain never gets a chance to kick in and your child's attitude and associations with math are pleasant and positive. As they get older math anxiety is avoided altogether because they understand math and the relationships and how it all goes together...and the symbols are easily decoded and understood.

Base ten blocks make math easy. There are silly people who think base 10 blocks will lead to "block dependency" where the kids can't do math without the blocks. Ludicrous. My blog and website are proof positive that this couldn't be further from the truth. Do any of the kids on that testimonial page get to bring blocks with them to public school when they take the test? Of course not.

Are DBoyz doing algebra and multiplication in their heads without blocks?  Of course they are. Your kids can too...and I can teach you how to do it yourself: check out this parent/teacher training page.

"Soon" (a very relative term at the house of math) there will be an audio course and more on the training page...here is a transcript of the beginning:

Well Hello! and welcome to Crewton Ramone’s 6 Disc -- probably 7 Disc, Audio Program--there is a bonus disc there with a guided Meditation--but what I want to do here over the course of this audio program is get you to understand that anybody can teach math the way I teach math, that YOU CAN use base 10 manipulatives to make math fun and easy, whoever your students are and whatever your mathematical background is; whether you had a good experience or a bad experience, whether you're male or female, you're a homeschoolers, you’re a teacher, a parent that has a kid in public school and you just want to able to help with math or give them “enrichment” this audio program is for you.

Now, specifically the target market that I’m looking for are the people with young children-- if this describes you then you are definitely in the right place. If you are a parent that has young children, definitely children under the age of 12, under the age of 8 better than that under the age 6 even better than that. Well let's say you have a student in--I don’t know if they are in grade school or middle school or high school...wherever they are this audio program is for you and if you have decided that you want to try and help your student or help your child understand mathematics then you are in the right place.

Now in order to do this I want you to be able to use these tools to their best effect, you just need to have some basic understanding, understand some principles and concepts, and you too can teach mathematics, you too can do what I do -- so many would say, "oh you are a genius" or "you are this or that", "oh--you are teacher: you’ve been doing it for 20 years" - "oh you’ve been..." {etc, etc}

Okay, when I was doing this and was two or three years in, people were like, "Wow! I can’t believe you’ve only been doing this for two or three years!", Okay? The idea is Jerry Mortensen had the same problem, everybody was like "Oh! Jerry is special he created the programs...of course", "Maria Montessori she is special because she created the -- Mario Montessori -- whoever it is, right?" -- they all have a crowd following that says, “you can do it but I can’t”...”you are special", "you are different” and what we are trying to do, and Jerry especially, but myself included, is trying to make you understand that you can do it also.


This blog and website is about removing excuses. There was a time when you spent 500 bucks and you got a kit and there were 4 hours of video. TOTAL. That's it. Watch these vids and now you are on your own. Not anymore.

If you wanted more training you could fly to Idaho once or twice a year...IF they were having a training: there hasn't been a training there for years now.

More PT Training.

26Sept14 10am HST

You were invited. Next one is NEXT Friday, the 26th, 10am HST more teacher training. All you need is the google vid chat plug in installed...a set of blocks, and 20 bucks.


Here is how it works..very simple. Contact me Paypal me 20.00. When you contact me I will send you the paypal info. You need gmail vid chat NOT SKYPE. You might also look into ooVoo, I've done some fun meetings there unrelated to the house of math. But for now gmail vid chat is fast and easy...just install the plug in and you are good to go, then add me to your circles or email me and I'll add you. THEN a little before ten you will get a call or invite.

DON'T try to do it if you don't have high speed internet...shut down everything else...you should have a browser running with one window...shut down all your other programs. Especially word processors and for those with Macs "preview"...have a set of blocks and something to take notes on...a white board is nice but not needed. The blocks are NOT optional. You will hear it over and over again in the vids get your hands on the blocks, math is not a spectator sport, contrary to the way you and I learned it.

2 more hours up on the teacher training page and another hour up on Raymond's page...learn to use your base ten blocks.

I have been told over and over again that just one or two of my password protected pages are are worth the price of an annual password...and the with more than 5 hours of training now on the Parent Teacher Training Page still available for 15 bucks that page is more than worth it. Look forward to a password protected pre-calc page soon.
