It’s that time of year again! Put the beach umbrella away, stash the surfboard under the veranda and get ready to go back to school. The holidays are over.

With the return of school, many kids dread heading into their maths class, where math concepts are often drilled in by rote memorisation, repetitive exercises, and pop quizzes. These sometimes tedious and abstract methods can create anxiety for some students and actually block the path to a fundamental understanding math which can linger for years.

Wouldn’t it be much more effective and enjoyable for students if maths was taught in a way that leaped out of the text book and off the board to capture their imaginations – in a way that was actually tangible and interactive, even fun?

Fortunately, there is a way… with Math-U-See.

Math-U-See is a highly effective, award-winning maths learning program for children of all ages and ability, from kindy to HSC and beyond. This interactive, self-paced math learning program helps students gain a solid foundation and understanding of math through sequential learning using the different learning styles – tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory and visual.

As Steve Demme, founder of Maths-U-See, explains, “Many people confuse memorization with understanding. For example, knowing how to divide is important, but understanding when to divide is equally important. Students must be able to grasp and apply the concepts that are critical in problem solving.”

Unlike traditional math learning, the Math-U-See program utilizes a series of coloured blocks which render math concepts immediately understandable, and includes a self-paced lesson DVD and work book, making it easy for use by children and adults alike.

With programs designed to suit any age, grade or level (from basic numbers all the way to calculus), Math-U-See has consistently delivered outstanding results, helping students achieve their grade level expectancy in math and well beyond.

Parents can also save money on tutoring fees while improving their child’s understanding of maths with the innovative Math-U-See program, which has been widely used in Australia over the past 12 years across various learning environments – from schools to tuition, home schooling, and special education.

As one parent said, “This learning program has helped my daughter gain such a good understanding of math. It has even helped me in trying to teach her. I can only recommend it to anyone, no matter how old your kids are, how good or slow at math.”

So, whether your child lags behind or excels, or could simply do with a more solid foundation and understanding of math, the learning on promise with the Math-U-See learning program, is a gift for life.

In today’s classroom, cramming a student’s head with timetables so they can regurgitate and recite answers on call is no longer a relevant vehicle for information retention.

The traditional way of teaching numeracy skills to kids includes maths work sheets, pop quizzes and memorising a list of facts and equations. These strange, seemingly disconnected, maths lessons can actually block the path to a fundamental understanding of numeracy for some students.  

Although memorization plays a massive part in problem solving, it alone is not enough.

Students must be able to grasp and apply the concepts that are critical in problem solving, says Steve Demme, founder of globally renowned innovative maths learning program Maths-U-See.

“Many people confuse memorization with understanding. For example, knowing how to divide is important understanding when to divide is equally important,” Mr Demme said.

Mathematical concepts need to be explained in a connected step-by-step progressive way that ensures fundamental understanding and information retention. Students require each concept to be mastered before moving on to build the foundation line upon line, precept upon precept.

Not helping the situation is the dwindling attention span of the modern day student. This means maths needs to be taught in a way that leaps out of the text book and off the board to capture the student’s imagination.  

Innovative maths products are now adapting interactive learning programs that add up different mediums of learning tools to equal products that revolutionise the way fundamental maths is delivered to students. 

Steve Demme’s Math-U-See is a highly effective, award-winning program that incorporates tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory and visual learning styles through the use of colour coded math blocks, work books and a session by session DVD.

From kindergarten to university, this program offers students of all aptitudes an -opportunity to receive a step-by-step fundamental understanding of maths that applies to everyday situations.

Students rarely learn the same way or at the same pace. Math-U-See’s unique and flexible curriculum can be specifically targeted to meet each student’s individual needs. This allows students to achieve learning outcomes beyond their current level or home-schooling requirements.

This program is easily adapted to integrate into a variety of learning environments including schools, special education, exam preparation, tuition and most particularly, home schooling.

“Both of my children are visual so this program suits them both. Even I concord my arch nemesis, long division. I must say I was quite worried how I was going to help my children when I didn’t understand it myself. I watched and read the Math-U-See program and what do you know, after all these years I got it!” said Home-school mum Kerriann Fitzgerald.

Math-U-See is an interactive, self-paced maths learning program for children of all ages and ability.

This highly effective, award-winning learning program helps students gain a solid foundation and understanding of math through sequential learning using the three learning styles – tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory and visual. 

With levels covering everything from basic math skills (Primer), all the way to Calculus, this program is suitable for students from Kindy to HSC, as well as to university level. 

A complete math learning program, Math-U-See has been integrated in many learning environments, from school to tuition, special education to home schooling and for exam preparation.

Math-U-See has consistently delivered outstanding results, helping students achieve their grade level expectancy in math and well beyond.

Even gifted children can benefit from utilising the Math-U-See program, as it gives them the opportunity to be stimulated and achieve learning outcomes beyond their current level or school requirements.

This powerful learning program utilizes colour coded math blocks covering numbers, currency, weight and measure, and includes a work book and a lesson-by-lesson instructional DVD, making it easy for use by children and adults alike.

Whether your child lags behind, excels or could simply do with a more solid foundation and understanding of maths, the Math-U-See learning program is a gift for life.
