Hi,
My name is Mary Robinson. I am the director of the Tutorial Center, which I established several years ago to serve the families of the greater Augusta County area.
After earning a Master's Degree in Reading from the University of Virginia, I worked as a classroom teacher, a reading specialist in both private and public schools, and, for the past sixteen years, as a private tutor. I also write a regular editorial column for the News Virginian.
For several years now I have been developing a supplemental math program to help my students succeed in Math. Many of whom came to me convinced that they were stupid because they could not perform subtraction, division, algebra etc.
Just as knowledge of the alphabet is the essential tool needed for literacy acquisition, number sense, (the ability to think with numbers), is the essential tool needed to learn and to understand math. For many of these kids, number sense is the tool that is missing.
They say; necessity is the mother of invention, and she and I have found a wonderful way for kids to develop number sense, using our tool.Math Push-Ups.
Math Push-Ups thoroughly covers all basic math facts and naturally includes effective learning strategies, solitary games, and even team competition. Students learn to recognize and to use the many math patterns prevalent in all aspects of math.
Math Push-Ups is sequential and systematical, and will compliment each student's individual learning style and pace. It comes as a consumable workbook with flash cards and timers, parent/teacher notes as well as easy kid-friendly instructions. It is adaptable to home or classroom situations and can be used by kids of all ages.
This complete math program is totally user friendly and can be practiced independently by the student. An adult is occasionally needed for coaching, for documentation of success, and for lots of celebrating. This old fashioned yet unique approach to learning the basics, exercises the brain and makes it stronger.
Contact us today and let us get this essential learning tool into your hands and the hands of your struggling learner. A brand new version is soon to be available for home use. Let us put you on the waiting list.
