IT'S A SECOND CHANCE GIVEAWAY REPEAT!!  (With an added chance to win something new!)


-------------------------

As thousands of people have discovered this year, Khan Academy is amazing for teaching people math! We have been using it with all of our children and have been very impressed with the results. The quick momentum, easy, relaxed environment, and ability for kids to learn at their own pace is a HUGE blessing; However, I can't help but feel that there is something missing.

I see that our children are learning, but I believe there is something to be said for hands-on written work. I just couldn't get that feeling to abate. I like to know that our children can look at problems, write them and do them without the aid of a computer mouse and keyboard. It's as simple as that.

I felt so strongly about this that when I heard about a math curriculum that is presented in book form with the same general concept that Khan approaches math, I HAD to try it. I wanted something in hard-copy format that would complement Khan Academy while still keeping the quick pace that Khan enables our children to prove. Boy did I ever find the right stuff!

"Learn Math Fast Books" fit the bill for my wants and needs to perfection. The Math System comes with the tools needed to do the work in the books, including a pouch with a zipper to hold the gear. The covers are not childish, so if a seventh grader is at the third grade level, they won't be embarrassed or humiliated to use the books. Each book takes about a month or two to complete, depending on the student. "Learn Math Fast" is a Math Curriculum that is made to direct a person's education in a quick, sequential manner with direct, to the point results.

This 4 Volume series explains K-7 math with a different approach. Volume I teaches the student how to master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division before advancing to fractions. Volume II starts with fractions. You could call this 4th grade math, but they call it the key to learning the relationship between fractions, percentages, and decimal numbers. Once a student masters the first two books, she/he will have all the tools necessary to start learning pre algebra.

This system is working for those who never thought they could learn math. The language used can be read by most students, allowing them to teach themselves. What I like about the books is that the website complements the books. There are extra worksheets that can be printed if more practice is needed, and placement tests we can use to fit our children into the correct chapter/book. The books can be consumable or non-consumable. For example, I have my children write the problems and answers on separate sheets of paper so the books can be used by our younger children when they are ready.

One interested tidbit about this curriculum is that we are not left swinging in the wind if we, as parents, just cannot figure the stuff out. We can contact JK Mergens anytime with questions or help! How's that for book support?! They offer a money back guarantee, but no one has ever returned the books, so far! Can you imagine?
