Un, dos, tres, el año se fue. Acertijos matemáticos para despertar la mente (Rascacielos) - Tapa blanda

Greg Tang was tutoring math in his daughter|s class when he noticed something interesting about the dominoes they were using. Each white dot had a pencil mark on it, which meant the children had been counting them one at a time. Mr. Tang taught them a quicker way to calculate the value of the dominoes-to look for patterns and to add and subtract groups of dots. Thus, he developed a new method of teaching arithmetic in a visual and intuitive way. His technique teaches both computational and problem-solving skills and is so fun and challenging that children forget they are learning math! He believes that all kids are capable of doing well in math, and he has a mission to make math a natural part of every child|s life. He has successfully taught his method to children from ages five to ten. Grapes of Math, Math for All Seasons and The Best of Times are the a series of books that will help children acquire the range of skills needed for higher math. His system challenges kids to use creative thinking and ingenuity to approach problem solving, rather than relying on rote formulas and memorization.
