Book Reviews of The Verbal Math Lesson Level 1: Step-by-Step Math without Pencil or Paper
Book Review: Perfect for a reluctant writer
Summary: 5 Stars
We are currently using The Verbal Math Lesson book with our 6 year old daughter and so far, I am very impressed. This is an excellent way to introduce beginning math concepts to a child who dislikes written lessons. Math was a struggle for me in elementary school due to the fact that I disliked writing. My daughter enjoys math, but also struggles with the writing aspect. I can see an amazing difference between verbal & written lessons in just a few short weeks. Not only is she quickly grasping the concepts, but now she ASKS to "do math" whereas previously she would balk whenever the dreaded workbook was brought out. Verbal lessons are also helpful for a child who does not yet know how to read.
If your child needs practice writing numbers, no problem! The Verbal Math Lesson makes it easy to simply practice without having to introduce foreign math concepts at the same time.
It is important to note that this is NOT intended for a child who has little to no mathematical knowledge. The author suggests the book will be applicable to children who can do the following:
Is able to count to 100 (occasional errors are acceptable).
Can identify written numbers (single and double digit).
Understands the concept of "same as", "more than" and "less than" when referring to numbers & quantities.
Knows the difference between right & left.
Recognizes basic shapes.
Has a basic, conceptual understanding of measurements of length (inches, feet) and weight (ounces, pounds, tons).
We purchased both books and plan on continuing with book 2 when book 1 is completed.
This book would be excellent for families looking to teach/reinforce mental math concepts, or if you simply have a child who is "allergic" to pencils or pens. I highly recommend ALL the Math Lesson products.
Summary of The Verbal Math Lesson Level 1: Step-by-Step Math without Pencil or Paper
By getting back to the basics, the innovative and time-proven techniques in this resource teach children that doing math can be fun and effortless. Teaching math verbally eliminates?the added challenge of?having a firm grasp on?writing skills that are themselves still being learned, and does away with?tedious worksheets. Separating tasks and learning math verbally not only helps children to solve math problems efficiently, but also?teaches them to think conceptually rather than?focusing?all the effort on writing mechanics. This method stimulates speed and accuracy and is critical for success in higher school grades.
?
The lessons in this book are developed for children in first grade, with exercises geared specifically for their age and ability.
