Longevity Publishing started out in 2006, and some people said we would never sell the original printing of Two Plus Two Is Not Five. Well, it’s not quite a full 10 years later, but the 7th printing of Two Plus Two Is Not Five arrived a few weeks ago. This workbook, which helps children really master addition and subtraction facts, is now one of four books that we offer. I also offer another addition and subtraction workbook which helps students learn to add and subtract larger numbers.

Tip: If your students do not yet know all the basic addition and subtraction (math) facts, and you need to teach addition and subtraction with larger numbers such as 389 + 65 or 96 – 28, then set up math problems using their known math facts.

For example, if your students DO know the “Magic 9” facts (9 + any number), doubles in addition and subtraction, and the “2 Ladder” facts (2+4, 2+6, 8+2, 10-2, 8-2, 6-2), then you could use the problems mentioned in the first sentence.

389 + 85 uses known facts 9+5, and 8+8. (Teach how to regroup 1s to 10s, and 10s to 100s.)
96-28 uses known facts 16-8, and 8-2. (Teach how to regroup from 10s to ones.)

Using known facts allows children to learn the new skill of regrouping without having to worry about counting on fingers to get answers to the math facts.

Addition and Subtraction: Beyond Math Facts, when used along with Two Plus Two, is structured to make sure kids learn more advanced addition and subtraction using only known math facts. This workbook also has word math problems, record-keeping pages, assessments, and guidelines on how to use the book.

Five Times Five Is Not Ten: Make Multiplication Easy is the workbook which helps children memorize the “times table” or the multiplication facts. It can be used along with Ten Divided by Five Is Not Five: Using Multiplication to Make Division Easy.  This workbook also has word math problems, record-keeping pages, assessments, and guidelines on how to use the book.

I also authored How to Teach Math Facts which is published by another company.

Longevity Publishing
This is such a great series. My special needs child used both the Addition/Subtraction and the Multiplication/Division books and mastered the skills by doing one lesson each a day. The lessons are relatively easy and progress the student very slowly and systematically. There was almost no frustration. We tried a lot of approaches, and this was the absolute best.
