What's the best way to teach my children thier math facts, other than flash cards?We Answered:
The best and most overlooked way to improve classroom education of any kind is to introduce the use of boardgames. I have taught for over ten years all over the world, and only when I use boardgames do students voluntarily insist on extending their classes for two, three, even four hours. Not only that but they then show the most rapid improvement.Check out the following websites for some useful background info.

Give it a try and you will be amazed. At least you will be helping to break the monopoly that the big textbook publishers have over the education industry.

How many parents think their kids are learning the wrong kind of math?We Answered:
No, I agree that this is ridiculous. It is one thing to omit certain things at first in order to teach progressively, but it appears to me that the fact have not been omitted, they are actually teaching false ideas.If division of a number by one that is greater than it is not part of the current curriculum, it should be left out, and it certainly should not be taught incorrectly.
