New Method of Learning Helps Catch Up with Math
What if one could stop doing math homework and still cope with math at school? What if all a student would ever do is to click on the mouse and watch solutions to math problems unfold in front of his eyes, step by step and learn in the process?
Could this help them solve math homework on their own, and understand lessons and concepts in math that they never understood before? This would be a student’s dream come true…
Well, this is the premise behind the ‘lazy way of learning math’ program put together by a group of teachers. It gives every student the opportunity to understand without wasting time.
There is no homework, no pressure, just watching and learn. Nine times out of ten students answer test questions correctly, allowing them to compete with brighter kids in their grade.
Don’t get carried away though, it still needs dedication and time if a student really wants to succeed. The step-by-step solutions are provided, and all that students have to do is to put in some time, perhaps not as much as they are putting in right now, or more to the point, not as much as they were putting in before.
If they are dedicated and really want to succeed, help is at hand!
It’s a slightly different way of learning; it’s like learning in reverse!
How many times, back when you were a student, did you need help badly with your math homework and there was no one to help? I was one of them. I couldn’t sleep at night at the thought of going back to school with incomplete homework. I used to wake up my eldest sister, who didn’t mind helping me, in the middle of the night. I was one of the lucky ones!
How many parents today can help their children with math? The answer is obvious. Most wished they could understand half of what their kids get as homework, let alone helping them. This new method of learning actually shows parents what the topic is about and gives a series of questions with step-by-step solutions. They can stop and play back as they wish until the solution is fully grasped. Doing this alone refreshes children’s memory and helps them with their homework.
Unlike most programs available which provide answers, or static worked solutions, this system has gone a step further by taking the time and painstakingly creating ‘alive’ solutions that help student really understand the ‘mechanics’ of math.
Once they see the solution, they understand the methodology and are able to do their homework without any further help. Students just have to watch and learn. This system is as close as one can get to a personal tutor.
The learning system covers most of the lower to middle high school topics.
