Whole Brain Teaching

Whole Brain Teaching a research based system that utilizes all areas of the brain, keeps children engaged throughout their lessons, and helps them retain much more information than the standard lecture-discussion model.
Whole Brain Teaching is a highly interactive form of instruction that delivers information to students in short “chunks.” Kids then teach what they have just learned to their partners, using hand-gestures to help remember specific vocabulary.  While students teach each other, the teacher walks around the room to discover who understands the lesson and who needs more instruction.

this is for example whole brain teaching about Roman Numerals

Math Trick

Sometimes, students find it difficult to do the math. To overcome this, a teacher must be able to find an alternative learning process so as not boring. This is commonly called a mathematical trick. Mathematical trick facilitate students perform operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division in a way easier, faster, and interesting.

Multiply Up to 20X20 In Your Head

In just FIVE minutes you should learn to quickly multiply up to 20×20 in your head.  With this trick, you will be able to multiply any two numbers from 11 to 19 in your head quickly, without the use of a calculator.

I will assume that you know your multiplication table reasonably well up to 10×10.

Try this:

  • Take 15 x 13 for an example.
  • Always place the larger number of the two on top in your mind.
  • Then draw the shape of Africa mentally so it covers the 15 and the 3 from the 13 below. Those covered numbers are all you need.
  • First add 15 + 3 = 18
  • Add a zero behind it (multiply by 10) to get 180.
  • Multiply the covered lower 3 x the single digit above it the “5” (3×5= 15)
  • Add 180 + 15 = 195.

That is It! Wasn’t that easy? Practice it on paper first!

I have another Math Trick that you can apply at any number
