I look forward to returning to the School Crossing store in Colorado Springs, CO. I was a visiting vendor there a number of years ago, and I will be there again on Friday, July 15th for their Super Sensational 20 Year Celebration.

Teachers and parents who visit my table can see how these unique math facts workbooks are different from typical practice books, and how easy it is to teach students to memorize math facts. Learn how to start a math facts program. I will show you how the strategies work, and answer questions on how to teach math facts. The store has freebies to give away and 20% off educational products all day! I will have copies of each of the workbooks: Two Plus Two Is Not Five: Easy Methods to Learn Addition and Subtraction, Five Times Five Is Not Ten: Make Multiplication Easy, Ten Divided by Five Is Not Five: Using Multiplication to Make Division Easy, and Addition and Subtraction: Beyond Math Facts. Three of the books help children master math facts using many different strategies.

The event at School Crossing is from 9:30 am until 12:30 pm at 5540 Library Lane. 719.593.7112. Call the store to reserve a copy of the books for your class or home.

Questions for me? Fill out the contact form or call: 720.489.7243.

It is important to remember, before asking students to memorize math facts, make sure they can show understanding of what the math facts means. (11-4 = 7 using “Straight Lines” strategy.) First, the children ought to be able to show 11 objects and take away four to show that seven remain. They can tell a word math such as: There are 11 cupcakes on the shelf. 4 were eaten, so 7 are left.
