The Verbal Math Lesson Level 3

by Michael Levin, Charan Langton

Verbal Math Lesson is suitable for children in grades 3 and up depending on their ability. This book is not an exercise book to be handed to the child. It requires parent or teacher to read the problems to the child. They are to be done verbally by the child without resorting to writing on paper. No use of pencil or paper allowed! Verbal Math skills are necessary to develop intuition and automaticity for arithmetic needed in higher grades. Too much emphasis on written math, the typical fare in schools, stymies the child and makes math tedious. This book makes math fun for you and your child. And you get an instant feedback. By seeing how quickly child is able to do the problems, you can gauge where he needs work and where he is excelling. Do it on the run, 10 minutes a day and watch math become fun.
