Does your student understand math concepts, but can’t master multiplication facts? Do you have a child with a math phobia or even a learning disability in math? This workshop includes a variety of teaching strategies and resources that will equip you to teach math no matter what curriculum program you’re using!

Games provide motivation and context for reinforcing math skills and concepts. Play math games - both home-made and commercial - to see how "active math" can be an intentional and fun part of your homeschool.

Cliff will demonstrate how his speed math methods always prove faster than the old-fashioned algorithmic methods with which we all grew up. He’ll also show how these methods are often faster than with the use of a calculator! The directives of 3 of the Common Core Standards will play an important part in the discovery of these techniques. Many of these methods have long been in use in European and Asian schools and their textbooks, which explain why we currently find ourselves near the bottom ranking country in the world in mental math and calculation abilities. Once learned, however, these methods will help bring our calculating methods into the 21st Century and, at the same time, will leave your calculator-dependent friends in the dust!
