The Math Stories
Many kids don’t know their times tables, relying on short term methods and fumbling to find simple answers. This method teaches the times tables using simple, fun stories and unique images. This allows you to see the answer to basic questions like 6x7 or 8x4 quickly, giving your brain the time and energy to focus on the rest of math.
Even if you've struggled before, you can memorize the multiplication tables quickly and learn to love math. Every concept like geometry, fractions or algebra depends on a solid foundation of math facts. Students who struggle with basic skills will generally struggle with the rest of math. This will give you the skills to succeed with numbers.
Kenzy Printing
🖍️ Printing practice is a foundational skill for young children, helping to develop fine motor coordination, hand strength, and early literacy. Just 10 minutes a day of focused writing can make a big difference—especially when kids are taught to hold a pencil properly, using a relaxed tripod grip that encourages control and reduces fatigue. This small daily habit not only improves legibility and confidence in writing but also supports cognitive development by reinforcing letter recognition and spatial awareness. Over time, consistent practice builds the muscle memory needed for fluent handwriting, setting kids up for success in school and beyond.
Kenzy Subtraction
The Kenzy Method is a unique subtraction strategy that uses dots to represent the numbers 1 through 9, much like the Eastern abacus. By turning numbers into clear, visual patterns, students can instantly see how subtraction works instead of struggling to memorize steps. This hands-on method highlights relationships between numbers, making it easier to recognize shortcuts and patterns. As a result, subtraction becomes not only faster but also more intuitive. The Kenzy Method builds strong number sense and confidence, giving learners a powerful tool to tackle math problems with speed and accuracy.
Daily Sentences
These sentences are designed to help students practice identifying parts of speech at three different levels: simple, grade-five, and junior-high. Starting with the simple sentence, students can spot the basic nouns, verbs, and other core parts of speech. The longer, grade-five sentence introduces adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and determiners in context, allowing students to see how words combine to make more detailed and interesting sentences. The junior-high sentence adds more specific vocabulary and complex structures, helping students recognize parts of speech in richer and more varied contexts.
Working with these sentences teaches students not only how words function, but also how they can be changed, combined, or rearranged to create different effects. This practice improves sentence writing skills, enhances comprehension, and gives students the tools to analyze text more effectively. By comparing the three levels, students see how simple ideas can grow into complex, vivid sentences while still following grammatical rules.
Area and Perimeter
In this section, you will learn how to find the area and perimeter of a variety of shapes. For area, formulas are provided for rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, circles, ovals, and composite shapes. Each example explains which dimensions to use—like length, width, base, height, or radius—and how to measure using square meters (m²). You will see how averages can help calculate more complex areas.
For perimeter, you will discover how to measure the distance around rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, circles, and ovals. Step-by-step examples show how to add side lengths or use formulas with length, width, diameter, and radius. All measurements are in meters (m), giving you a clear understanding of one-dimensional distances around shapes.
Music: Ukulele
Ukulele, or uke for short, is one of the best instruments to start with for anyone 8 or older. It is like a guitar but with only four strings which makes it much easier to start with. The chord shapes are identical to the bottom four strings of guitar, the sound is just higher. For example when you make the G chord on guitar, this same shape makes a C chord on uke. The lessons here walk you through an easy way to learn. It starts with uke care and tuning then progresses from playing one chord up to four chords and beyond by going one step at a time. Each lesson has a popular song you can play to practice. It is a great way to learn proper playing and theory while having fun and playing from day one.
HIDDEN CHAPTERS
Hidden Chapters are short passages that could be from classic and popular books. Each story has words and questions to make it easy to practice reading skills. Here are a few ways to use each one.
Echo Read: One reads while other listens then tries to read the story with help.
Switch the words while reading to practice vocabulary skills.
Answer the questions and vocabulary definitions.
This is done daily to keep the reading skills strong.
Life Skills: First Aid
Life-saving skills begin by learning which emergencies are more serious and how to treat each one. A checklist helps by starting with looking at what happened, watching for danger, and calling for help. After that, the letters of the alphabet are used to go step by step, starting with the most serious problem and checking everything to make sure the person is safe.
Word Workbook
Practicing parts of speech like nouns, adjectives, and verbs is important. This helps show what each word does, makes pictures in the mind while reading, and builds strong sentences by knowing which words to change. The Word Workbook gives practice with finding these words, changing them, and making new sentences.
Long Division
Long division is hard at first, but can be learned in the first month. The Kenzy Tables teach place value, multiples, and subtraction. A small times table is made for each number to show the multiples. This helps with long division using the old way, which still works well. Even NASA uses it. The steps are clear and quick to learn. It may look tricky, but it gets easier with practice.
Wood Projects
Woodworking is fun and full of math. It begins with easy projects like picture frames, then moves on to boxes, shelves, and a hexagon picnic table. Boards are joined using glue and screws to build each project. These steps teach important carpentry skills and show how math is used in real ways.
