Graphing Polynomials With A 7 Year Old.

Start understanding what the symbols mean, and how they relate to a graph.

If you've played with blocks and done the lessons for YEARS this stuff is easy by the time you reach the ripe old age of 7. Ot you can wait ten years until your kids are 17 and watch the pain and frustration mount until the domestic tranquility leave your house hold they hate math, they hate school, and they hate they teachers and of course they hate you and let you know it sometimes at the top of their lungs. Make math fun and easy and now they don't hate going to school anymore in fact they might like going because people will think they are smart because people think people who can do math are smart whether they are or not...but anyway remove the pain and domestic tranquility returns. Maybe it isn't that bad for you, maybe you're just tired of your kid being sad at school because of math. Maybe you shouldn't wait till high school...

Or you could avoid the problems in the first place and let me teach you to teach your kids math. I could do it for you but it'd be better if you did it yourself...and yes I can teach YOU even if you think you are a failure at mathematics. Ever have a kid that has all "A's" EXCEPT for math? Might not be the kid's fault...maybe the method being used to teach the kid is an utter failure, not the kid.

Had to do a quick review of one of the building blocks. Squaring number that end in 5.

Graphing parabolas poses a problem for most kids because all they do is memorize rules and process (and then promptly forget them) or learn a formula and then learn to apply it long enough to take a test and then forget it. How about we understand what we are doing and what the numbers mean instead? Then suddenly this stuff is so easy it's ridiculous and you wonder why there were tears in the first place.

I have also had untold numbers of fathers and mother who DID understand the math but weren't able to get their kids to understand it come come me...after they figured out turning the volume up didn't help. If you have a good grasp of mathematics or love math...you will love my site. If you hate math you will end up loving my site. Check out the comment boxes on facebook and over on this SSS page...(I couldn't buy testimonials like that...well sorta: I bribed them with my book, but if the book sucked you wouldn't see testimonials and "thank you"'s like that now, would you?) you can also go to my website and watch video testimonials.  F to A is common. 100's are not rare at the house of math.

Algebra is Fun If You Do It Right.
You will need to spend some time with the blocks which you can HEAR in the video but you can't see them.  You can see them on my website though...lol...quite a bit. I have quite literally hundreds of videos where you can see the blocks in action for factoring these polynomials (and a whole lot more. You will see little five year olds factoring polynomials and having FUN doing it.  They ask for algebra...algebra is a reward near the end of class sometimes.

"Can we do algebra?!"
"Well...ok...but only if you are good and play nicely..."

Watch my videos you will hear this exchange and ones similar to it...
 


Follow The Links.
If you have some familiarity with the algebra or have struggled with it this should clear quite a few things up quickly. If this is all Greek to you, understand that if a 7 year old can do it, you probably can too it's just nobody ever taught you how in a way you can understand. If you had played with blocks for factoring and you had played with blocks for squaring numbers that in in 5 and you had used blocks to SEE polynomials in their various forms you how you can put a polynomial into these various forms and then use symbols to describe what you did, this stuff would be easy peasy but since all you've ever seen are the symbols confusion hath ensued and you think algebra is harder than water at the south pole in the winter time...or the prom queen's date on prom night.  Turns out completing the square is EASY here are some little kids doing completing the square...I start them out with this at 5 years old any kid can get the concept. Here we just put it all together as it were.

Get yourself some blocks and a password and start having fun or at leaste start taking the pain out of math for your children and maybe even yourself.  Follow the links on this page or just go to the house of math for more. There are hours and hours for FREE and many more hours behind paywalls where you need a ridiculously affordable password to get through to see little kids putting this method into practice and having FUN doing it.  Take the "advanced" algebra page for example....hours of Hours of video. Trig page hours more...of video you'll actually understand. More so if you have a set of blocks in front of you and you can follow along but even if not you can draw and play along that way....don't just watch.


If all you want to do is get by and pass a test this really isn't the place for you, but if you want to actually understand what you are doing and therefore be able to make others like your friends or kids understand it, you have come to the right place. I make math easy because math is easy, not because it's magic, it's not magic it's just math.

Graphing Polynomials? No Problem.
Just Watch Me.

We did this problem too but I didn't get it on video...you might try it at home it's easier than the last one you see in the video because of the even amount of x. In case you need the review here is another video with a lesson on squaring numbers that end in 5.



Don't tell me my passwords aren't worth the money...and this is just factoring polynomials. A lot of kids start having trouble with subtraction...so maybe we back up and you get my FREE subtraction manual, Supremely Simple Subtraction.

One Day Mother's Day Flash Sale.

File under news you can use.

SALE!


The purpose of this post is to inform you of a real one day sale. I say real because I didn't jack up the price just to mark it down...plenty of people have bought passwords for $250.00 and I have more than a few "subscriptions" coming in at $26.00...although most of them are for $8.50.

This sale is for life time passwords only. Not annuals. I haven't changed the passwrod for quite some time now some some of those who got the 20.00 password have gotten quite a good deal.

When the password changes just email me for the new one...

To be clear. LIFETIME Password.  One time Payment $150.00 one day only: Mothers Day.
OR

Huston, we have a problem.
This is a common meme.

20.00 x 10 payments...

Click Here.

To be clearer still, in case you didn't watch the video,  a Lifetime Pass comes with TWO passwords. One for Parent/Teacher Training and one for anywhere else you need to put in a password, which I call a "sitewide" pass.

That's 50 or 100 bucks off respectively. There will be a page on my blog with this video and paypal buttons or if you prefer I will indeed take a check. People think I don't like checks. I love checks.

GET A CHEAP PASSWORD.

Annual passwords ARE NOT ON SALE. Blocks are also not on sale I have no control over the blocks that's Mortco...although I have been trying to get Mortco to put some stuff on sale it still hasn't happened and I wouldn't hold my breath.

If you see this post after Mother's Day NO WHINERS. The next one will be Christmas in June and there will be a one day sale in on the 25th. Same deal. Hopefully I can talk Mortco into putting some kits on sale too but again, don't count on it. After that I don't forsee another sale 'till September but they won't be $150.00 then.

Life time passwords mean just that: no renewals for the rest of your life. When the password changes just email me for the new one if you don't get an email from me telling you what the new ones are.

FRIDAY TRAININGS.

Also Friday trainings are now a "thing." Take advantage of these while they are still ridiculously low priced. Soon they will be going WAY up in price...like 4x what they are now. Right now you can get 4 hours of training for 25 bucks. That's redonkuolous.

Fridays will be a regular thing except for next week Math 16th I will have a Satuday Training to accomodate a certain person who is making pdf's for me.  Other than that or unless otherwise announced these trainings will be on FRIDAYS.

GET YOUR PASSWORD NOW. ⇐CLICK THERE

Next training is tomorrow 8am HST....cost is 25 bucks whether you come for one hour or for four...and if you plan on buying Lifetime Passwords on Mother's Day I'll include this training as part of the deal...


Hour one: Q and A...nubes welcome.

Hours 2-3: Methodology and theory.

Last hour: Math...showing you theory in practice.

You need gmail vid chat installed and you have to add me to your circles...

Come see what this chart is about.


Also when you come to the training....make sure you already have vid chat installed. Make sure everything else but the browser you are using gmail is shut down or you computer will bog...you need a high speed connection and you need a newer computer for it to work well. I have had parents doing video tutoring complain about the connection but then come to find out they have all manner of programs running...mail, multiple tabs on the browser, word processor on Macs "preview" is a big hog close it...and you will have a much better time.

Saturday, May 16, 2015.

This one is first come first served...pay in advance with paypal or as part of your Lifetime Password...but I can only seat 12 and we already have 6...this last we had 5...3 who were there the whole time and 2 that were in and out. If you come for an hour it's 25 bucks if you come for all 4 hours it's 25 bucks take advantage this deal isn't going last...you may note there was a time when the Teacher training page only had a single video on it and I charged 15 bucks BUT those early adopters got rewarded with being able to get on the page even though now there are 8 vids there now and over 7 hours of training...I'm going to put a few more vids up there from trainings and that will it for this page.

I Know You Want One.

LAST CHANCE....

NEWS You Can Use.

A little look into the future with Crewton Ramone.

Will be having a sale in June. And maybe even a Mother's Day Password sale since my primary customer base are WOMEN...must figure out how to get the FATHERS more involved...but I understand the dynamic. The father's are out earning money while the mother's are home with the kids in most cases. A very traditional and IMO desirable stable situation, the education of the child often falls primarily to the mother in the primary years and then gradually to the father in the later years especially tradesmen and farmers...again in the more traditional "old school" family situations. They have attempted to destabilize the traditional family with social engineering and we can look around and see the results. Nothing wrong with single parent families but there is no question it's harder. Two is easier. I'm a single parent but only on week ends. I know a lot of single parents who have no other to look to; ask them if it gets overwhelming at times. Also nothing wrong with non traditional families but also nothing wrong with traditional families either...and certainly women (or men) who choose to stay home not "work" and raise children shouldn't be stigmatized. I hear "I'm just a mom." All the time when dealing with customers..."just a mom" is about the most important full time job there is.

I like my clientele because this is the 4 to 5% (up from about 1% 20 years ago) that actually understand the teachers are there to ASSIST you in the education of your children, not do it all for you, babysit 6 to 8 hours a day...act as surrogate parents, counselors, psychologists and more. Many of you eschew the public school system altogether and want to do it yourselves BUT math is a sticking point and so is the money. My aim is to change that.

Soon I will have an affiliate program where those of you who have told anybody and everybody that will listen about me will be rewarded for your efforts...again I can not immediately do anything about the physical products (blocks etc) but I can and will have training and "how to" vids along with internet courses, pdfs, audio and such that you can be proud to share and that will be quite reasonably priced. This will also allow you to hire out other experts to assist you in the education of your children, music teachers for example or language teachers, artists, etc. My commissions will be generous.

With regard to physical products I will be having dvds and books soon and I can tell you in the same manner people didn't understand I could build this entire website with nothing more than my $400 tablet now when in the early 1990's it would have cost 10's of thousands (I was looking at a proposal I wrote back then and equipment and hosting were over 100 grand) print on demand has made DVD's and books entirely doable...and I made friends with a vice president of a company that does just that. Further we are not there yet but 3D printing will make $300,000.00 injection molds obsolete in the very near future buying blocks and shipping them will be almost obsolete you'll just turn your 3D printer on, either way blocks/manipulatives are going to be inexpensive too--give it a few more years...then it's going to be all about information--it already is but even more so.

Several people have told me $250 for an annual is still too "cheap" and when it was $100 it was "a total no brainer" because of all the stuff you get plus the fact that more is created monthly. This is where the marketing comes in. People don't always GET what they are getting until they look around the web and find nothing else like it. Getting people to understand that it's more than worth it is the hard part. Still quite bemused that I couldn't sell a password for 5 bucks but once I upped the price to $150 I sold them like hotcakes. Better marketing on my part is coming. I have acquired a guru who is showing me how...he has it down to a pretty simple, extremely successful formula and I can use a formula better than most. The part that I lack is the ability to let people know how cool this is because they have been programmed to hate math and anything to do with math even if there is a guy who claims he can take the pain out...further, people are so used to gimmicks they think I'm kidding when I say the sale lasts ten days or this is a real spring sale prices won't be this low again. Then when the sale is over they can't believe there really isn't going to be another one. People are still waiting for Mortco to have another sale. People also think lifetime passwords are going to come back down to 100 bucks...opps they keep going up. (I'll tell you right now, there may be a sale for 150 bucks again, but only for a few days and when it's over--it's over, but they will never be 100 bucks again so quit waiting.)

"The human mind has never invented a labor-saving machine equal to algebra." ~Author Unknown
"Calculus is the most powerful weapon of thought yet devised by the wit of man." ~W. B. Smith 

Another thing I'll be doing eventually is interviewing people who use math in their business or vocation. I talk to scientists, engineers, physicists etc but also business owners and always ask them about their math. How often do you use algebra? For scientists, engineers, physicists the answer is usually EVERYDAY. How often do you use the calculus? The answer is usually not as often but a lot. And stats? Depends on the person/job. Anyhow the point is I will be offering that as a product for parents and teachers to answer the perennial question: "Why do we have to know this?" Asked by the teen age whiners in most math classes.

I spent a lot of time in bookstores this last two weeks from Portland to LA; books on math are...uh...difficult. I understand them because I see the pictures in my head...but they contain no pictures for you. I was reading a book called "Forgotten Algebra" which presented math the traditional way: formula first, no pictures not even for Pythagoras, then rules and process--no mention of concepts...no wonder it's the most failed subject. As one person who I'm pretty sure has left this page said, show a problem, show how to work the problem, show a problem show how to work a problem. Exactly NOT what you get here.

"There is a great danger in the present day lest science- teaching should degenerate into the accumulation of disconnected facts and unexplained formulae, which burden the memory without cultivating the understanding." ~J. D. Everett [In the preface to his 1873 English translation of Elementary Treatise on Natural Philosophy by A Privat Deschanel. (D. Appleton and Co.)]

All I'm going to do is teach concepts anybody can understand and put the pictures back in, add some humor and sex...and for this I am labeled a visionary radical.

So be it.

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 10 Blocks & Algebra Teach The Basics

The points of this post are manifold.

One, for those who are thinking they might want to start a tutoring business, DO IT. NO ONE is out there teaching kids math like this...well, I can't really say that anymore because actually quite a few people are now using these techniques to teach math...more than six years ago when I started this nonsense anyway, but you know what I mean.  The number of people doing it this way is very, very SMALL. You should have no trouble finding a few parents who understand that giving their child, particularly if the child happens to be female, a real head start and are willing to pay well you for it. Don't undercut yourself.

You can charge decent money because of this, especially if you have been to several Friday trainings and/or have gotten passwords and watched all the videos (and played along with your blocks) on the Parent Teacher Training Page (there are quite a few more Hours about to added there BTW). Ask yourself where else are they going to get this? From me? I can only do so many students at a time and my time for teaching students is just about come to an end...I am interested in training teachers and ultimately training trainers and master trainers to replace myself. 

Two, when teaching older students who have massive holes like this child in their math knowledge and basic math facts it is important to preserve the child's self esteem. With younger remedial students playing like this is cool because in kid culture "everybody knows algebra is HARD" so although we are factoring polynomials not so much to learn algebra and distributive theory but more to learn addends and multiplication, the older students don't feel "dumb" because after all we are still doing algebra, and the younger students feel smart because after all we are still doing algebra. Get it? I think you will find this is a recurring theme here on this blog. I use third and fourth power algebra to accomplish this too.

Three, it should become abundantly clear after watching this video that having a calculator in hand wouldn't help him factor an expression like x² + 9x + 18...you have to know your addends, which will make repetitive addition (which some call multiplication) easy and fast and will bring home the concept that numbers are made up of other numbers and that there are many ways to express any number...as the sum of two (or more) numbers as the difference of two numbers as the product of two (or more) numbers or as the quotient of two numbers...

I also have another video with a 7 year old where you can see having played with square numbers and being familiar with addends and ratios and fractions makes trig EASY. But if you can't even recognize a square number when you see one...well...an "F" is much more likely than an "A".



Get a password, get a couple of my books and get going. Trainings on Fridays has become "a thing", cost is 20 bucks for 1 to 4 hours, lately they have been going for 4...if you come for an hour it's $20 if you come for all for hours it's $20, starts at 8am HST...you need gmail vid chat and you need to have the video plug in ALREADY INSTALLED. Email me for more info. I know you think 4 hours is a long time but trust me: time flies when you are having math...ask anybody that has come it won't feel like four hours.

Fractions Teach Multiplication Using Base 10 Blocks

This video is pretty self explanatory, so I won't put too much here in the way of words. People don't read these posts much anyway just look at the pictures and watch the videos...so:


But for those interested in a little more in the way of training for parents or teaches, with little kids you don't need to write symbols to start.  (By little kids I mean 6 and under.) Just do what you see here and talk about it. Later the symbols will make sense when we write them. Don't forget to spend some time DRAWING them too.  (Look at the second excerpt for more on this on the training entry page.)  Lastly, do symbols...but this kid is 17 so we went directly from manipulatives to symbols...because he's paying by the hour and it takes too long to draw and label them although it is a very worthwhile step, I told him to do it at home. I had other things I wanted to do in the hour. The idea is to teach concepts but this child needs work on multiplication...multiplication will make all of his math easier to understand because there is no time lost on computation (if multiplication is easy and fast, if not the math problem is compounded because they have to think about multiplication AND whatever the problem is too...once they have the multiplication down as Forest would say, "that's one less thing."

Here again I want to drive home the point that all we are doing is counting and basically I am teaching him to count and count quickly using fractions manipulatives. Counting quickly like this is called multiplication. The fractions are also discovered...and equivalent fractions understood and reducing fractions will not be difficult when we introduce that concept later...only then we will be using division instead of multiplication. I hope you can see the rectangles...


Introduce skip counting early and sing songs and play and this whole problem can be avoided...too many teen-agers have this exact same problem, they are having trouble with math (particularly algebra) because they can't even multiply and having a calculator doesn't help. In order to see relationships, ratios and multiples it is imperative that they know their multiplication tables bare ass minimum out to 9x9, out to 12x12 better than that and out to 20x20 (yes, 400 facts) best of all. We went thru a little period there where well meaning but horribly misguided math teachers tried to say that with the advent of cheap calculators students didn't need to know multiplication by rote memory. OPPS.

They were trying to spare students the pain of memorization and drill. I agree about taking the pain out of mathematics but not with taking the learning of multiplication out of the mathematics, which is why we didn't spend the whole hour on this...I assure you drill, worksheets, and flash cards will turn the kids off faster than you can say "modern mathematics teaching in America is an utter failure." But if you play games, sing songs, skip count, and do fun math activities starting at an EARLY AGE, multiplication can be mastered without tears, muss or fuss.

I have a book (my Curious Counter's Compendium) you can get for practically NO MONEY that will help you start teaching math to your toddlers, and another one (my Subtraction Manual) you can get for NO MONEY at all.  More manuals are being worked on as we speak, there will one day be 11 in all.

Side note: We measured the distance he walks using the odometer on my car and it was just over two and a half miles, one way. Math is either important or it isn't.

More side note: AFTER you go thru a lot of posts on this blog, videos on youtube and of course my website you might want to get a password...

Simple Base Ten Blocks Teach Many Math Concepts.

One of the math moms on facebook posted this pic. 

My response:

Nice, now change the game and make it so he can only use one three...then the other ones have to be a two and a one or three ones, you might mention right now they are all three plus zero and it's more fun to make combinations...same with the four, only use one four and the others have to be addends for four and so on also nothing says you only have to use 4 on the corners, you can use 5 or 6 or 7 or more pillars...then you can play "jenga" an see if you can take pillars out without knocking the whole thing down...then when does fall down just build it again and see who can take the most pillars out before it falls...Also, make a video of it and maybe you could win something.

Many math concepts can be learned with just this one simple exercise. You can slide a 2 into the level that he built with three's and the concept that 2 is "smaller than" three is easily seen...in math we could say less than...and we could show the symbols on a white board if we wanted to but at this age playing blocks and verbal reinforcement is enough. You are creating a math rich environment, where several of the senses are used to learn math and basic math concepts like more and less and addition and of course subtraction.

The mind absorbs all this then later (days, weeks, months or even years) this experience can be drawn upon to make sense of these symbols: 2 < 3...

You could put on the skip count CD or multiplication rock vids on youtube in the background and sing along as you skip count the threes he has used. PLAY, make teaching addition fun; little kids love to sing and they don't much care if you can carry a tune or not as long as you are making a joyful noise.

Anyhow make a vid of your kids playing math and you might win some cool stuff. UPDATE: this part is over but you should still check out primal math for some cool apps...Zombie Fish Bits is fun....

If you'd like a FREE manual on showing how to teach even very young children a super easy way to subtract click this link to my Supremely Simple Subtraction manual. A new Games and Activities Manual is in the works but it will be a while so meantime use the old one. (Takes a while to load so give it a minute...)

Another math mom on facebook posted this pic. 

My response:
Excellent...! Now you can talk to him about the 9 in the corner...you could flip the blocks over and count 1 hundred, 6 tens and 9 units...you could talk about square roots and square numbers playfully with the 9 and the 169...and of course the polynomial...x² + 6x + 9...the square root is one side which is x + 3....and of course (x+3)² = (x+3)(x+3) = x² + 6x + 9 and you talk about economy of symbol...that we don't need to write it twice...you could talk about 13² = (13)(13) = 169...you could have him draw a simple picture of it...and talk about these things while he's making his drawing...note I say could you don't have to...you could write some symbols and show him how those symbols describe his creation the same way words can describe a brown cow...and you do it casually, not drilling him not formal instruction just,  "hey...look at these green ones there--they make a square and we can count the sides or one side...hey look at that! You made all those blocks into a square can you count the sides? What's the blue one called?"

If you are on the base ten side he should say, "10...and three units." Or something like that. And you could say, "what's the name for one ten and 3 units...?"

If they are on the smooth side and you are in base x, the blue one's name is x and three units...

A ton of math concepts can be taught off of this one rectangle...you don't need to cover all of them at once...just a few at a time. Check this post out, it talks about all the things you can use this simple rectangle (square) for, when it comes to teaching math concepts.

Now build one that's 14 or x+4 squared...and then 15...or maybe he wants to make a different shape with his 6x...and make it (x+2)(x+3) or some other combination for 6, 5+1, 4+2, 3+3...still 6x but now a different number fits in the corner...just play math, bigger is funner.

Password Sale Extravaganza IS OVER.

There is was a SALE going on at The House Math!
It's birthday month for both me and my eldest, who just turned TEN.If you got here because I sent you an email, don't worry there won't be very many more emails to you from me again after this. But I figured you'd want to know about this sale.


Here's your chance to SAVE on passwords for a very limited time.

All PAU.


Passwords come in two flavors at the moment...

1. The site wide pass that gets you EVERYWHERE except the Parent Teacher Training page
2. The password for the Parent Teacher Training page

You also have the option to get an Annual or a Lifetime pass.
If you get a Lifetime pass, you get BOTH.
If you need a rain check you can email me and perhaps we can work something out.

If you can't come up with $150.00 (reg $250) for lifetime or $50.00 (reg $89) for annual all at once, I also have the option for you to break a normally priced password up into TEN payments. In other words subscriptions are NOT on sale.

One time payments are at basically 40% off.
There won't be another sale like this all year!.
There will be another sale when the younger turns ten, but prices will have gone up by then...and there will be even more password pages and more stuff on the pages that are already there.

Vids (and more) get added to the Parent Teacher training page pretty regularly. As we speak there are several hours that are being edited and added to various pages.
Several more hours will be added on the training page and more trig on the brand new Trigonometry page...this page alone being worth the price of a password all by itself.
Another page that is worth the price alone is the percentages page, as well as the page on Pi...and circles.

Check out these two links for Paypal buttons and more explanations.

PS: I see I  made some errors in sending out the link with the wrong attachment to some of you so I may try and send you people that already have the SSS manual the Curious Counter's Compendium instead...also I see my email lists are incomplete and might even possibly be a little mixed up, but I'm working on it (and by "I", I mean My Girl Tuesday)...because I don't want to send out email to people who don't want email from me or for example people who already have a lifetime password an offer for a lifetime password...if you want OFF my lists send an email that says UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line, if you want ON the list (and you haven't signed up already at the house of math, or bought product or signed up for the SSS pdf) send an email that says ADD ME in the subject line.  Very soon I will be getting an email program to deal with all this and later this year (or early next year) my training site should be up and running.  And as I look at this page I see it too needs updating...lol...but the email address is the correct one...

Another Inductee To The 100% Club.

Kid comes off and on but figured better on than off...has to walk 2 and a half miles to get to class. Has discovered it's worth it. Base 10 blocks really do work for Trig too.

He actually looks pleased.   This is how we do at Crewton Ramone's House Of Math.  I have more F o A stories than you can shake you finger at. Check these testimonials. He was getting less than 50%'s when I met him. Then he learned some basic concepts and sure enough 100%.  People said on this one I should have taken before and after photos of him too...because his demeanor has also changed radically along with the grades.  Ask any kid what feels better, F or A. 

Anyhow here is the short vid...


The Password Protected Trig page is up! I can't guarantee you'll get 100%'s or even A's but I do guarantee this page explains trig in a manner that you can understand. Garret edited the vid of he class I did with him (I think editing the vid on trig made the test easy too)...but right now a diligent trig student could use the Trig Page to pass...I can't guarantee anything because every student is different but a regular kid should be able to go there start watching videos and clear a whole lot of things up FAST. Things that many find confusing. There are vids on the entry page that you should find quite useful if you are a beginner....just think, basically 50 bucks could be the diff between pass and fail and for some kids the diff between A and B...ALSO there is now How to Teach Trig to 8 Year Olds. hat page also has a FREE lesson on it too.

Again I defy you to find lessons explained like this where kids can put it all together conceptually anywhere on the internet at any price...take advantage of the FREE lessons first. Then consider a password.

If someone wanted to get me this for MY birthday that would be nice.

Sale Ends 12 March 2015..
SALE IS OVER THANKS EVERYBODY!!!!

Next sale won't be for quite sometime. I have no idea when mortco will have another sale. I wanted to have the trig page finished in time for the start of this sale but didn't quite make it...might be done by Tuesday tho...also passwords are going to change at the end of the month...as always just email me for the new one(s)...

When you order I will send a link or links to the paypal address you used...click the link(s) for the password. Next sale prices will be higher than these because there will be more stuff then than there is now. Early adopters are rewarded.

There is about two more hours of training being edited now that will be added to the PT training page...it was the fractions training I did on Friday. I will do another training this Friday for those who could not attend the last one...more fractions but using different manipulatives.

Also I will indeed be in Santa Clara in April...may try to set up a live training there...or somewhere nearby...or maybe in Las Vegas, just because it's cheap to fly there and meeting rooms are also cheap. I have lived by the standard when in doubt do both but I can only be gone for so long and from the 16-20th I will be BUSY. And after that I know I will be dying to get home to implement what I came for..but if it's not too much hassle a couple of (separate) days of training could also be thrown into the mix...stay tuned.

Meantime enjoy these prices. And tell you friends. Whining will not help if they miss it. If you need a rain check email me and PERHAPS we can work something out. Last time I had a password sale several people were stressed out over the holidays and tapped out from gift giving and needed a couple of weeks for their next paycheck...I get it. Just ask if you need to...otherwise enjoy the sale.
