Introduction

The following material is from having spent over a decade working one on one with students to help them have more success in school and in life.  For many, the most important component was finding and fixing their math gaps. 

For many people, the root of their math troubles started early. They missed out on learning the right foundational skills that are the basis for all other math skills and math dependent topics.  The following resource is designed to help parents get started  preventing those troubles. 

Please note:  As part of helping youngsters build confidence, it is good to remember that every brain is different and grows skills at its own pace.  For some of the activities, the goal is similar to the strategy of introducing words and letters to youngsters long before they learn to read. The early exposure gives kids’ brains time to process the information before there is any pressure or judging.  Have fun, make learning math a game because in many ways learning math is like learning a game or a sport.
