Reseña del libro "Mom! I Learn Subtraction Using Math-Chess-Puzzles Connection: Ho Math Chess Tutor Centre (en Inglés)"
Introducing Ho Math Chess Basic Number Facts worksheets Frank Ho Teaching Method The basic number facts are being taught at Ho Math Chess Learning Centre using a method called Frank Ho Teaching Method, which uses math, chess, and puzzles integrated worksheets to get children interested in math. This method also trains children's critical thinking skills. At the same time, they work on foundation math knowledge. Traditionally math worksheets creators seem always to think that numbers worksheets are just for one purpose that is to make students practice on computations. So, to work on traditional vertical columns of additions, subtractions, multiplications, or divisions would be rote learning. If we continue to use the same way of producing the conventional basic number facts worksheets, then this kind of view would be somewhat right because students are trained in just one track of mind. They seem to have trouble figuring out calculation questions using the backwards method. Our teaching method is to fundamentally change the way and structure that the basic number facts worksheets have been presented to primary students so to allow students not only lay their basic foundation but also to get them engaged in more exploratory dialogue with their teachers to discover the strategies used in conducting computations, for example, the strategy used in addition such as adding 1, 2, 3; adding 10 or doubling etc. These strategies offer systematic, organized, logical thinking to students so they would be encouraged to think more about the relationships between digits and numbers, instead of just relying on memorization to get automatic answers. Students using our basic number facts worksheets would get some benefits of critical thinking skills as if they were working on open-end word problems. This new way of teaching number facts by creating integrated math, chess and puzzles basic number facts worksheets are profoundly different from the traditional worksheets. Why are Ho Math Chess Basic Number Facts workbooks unique? This is one of a series of basic number facts computation workbooks using math-chess-puzzles integrated methodology from preschool to elementary school. Frank Ho and Amanda Ho produce these proprietary and differential products. Frank founded Ho Math Chess Learning Centre in 1995 in Vancouver, Canada. He invented and trademarked the Geometry Chess Symbols, which are the core technology of producing the math and chess connected workbooks. Our math and chess integrated day schools or after-school learning centres can use workbooks (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, problem-solving, math contests, Frank Ho Math and Chess Puzzles, and Frank Ho Chess Mazes etc.) as a complete set of teaching number facts to supplement school's math teaching. These workbooks have been used and evolved at Ho Math Chess headquarters since 1995. We believe the way our integrated workbooks presented have revolutionized the style of traditional math worksheets.
