Description

An innovative new product to help students prepare for standardized vocabulary tests. Word Insight™ utilizes revolutionary perceptual learning techniques along with advanced computer-based presentation concepts to provide an optimal learning environment. Welcome to a remarkable new product to help children learn basic math facts! Best Basic Math™ incorporates revolutionary techniques of computer-based learning and perceptual learning to foster this important foundation of later learning. Even in an age of calculators, every child must learn basic math facts. When we first begin to learn arithmetic, along with the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, there are some basic facts that need to be understood and remembered. For example, 3 + 2 = 5. As a child advances, s/he will learn procedures for adding numbers of any size, such as 152 + 23 = ?. Answers to these problems can be computed, but our procedures assume that the basics have been learned: in this case, addition of single digit numbers. It is remarkable how much of a hurdle the basics can be for many children. There are important concepts in early arithmetic, but the committing to memory of the basic math facts is not a particularly meaningful activity for most. Yet, learning the basics is crucial. Difficulties with basic math facts -- simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, can erode a child's progress and interest in later mathematics. Evidence suggests that large proportions of children in the 7th or 8th grade or beyond have not really mastered all the basic facts of multiplication or even subtraction and addition. Imagine the difficulty of a child being taught algebra in the 8th or 9th grade who is never really sure what 9 x 8 equals. Part of the problem is a lack of really good ways to teach these facts and make sure they have been learned. Our goal at Insight Learning Technology, Incorporated has been to apply to this problem the cutting edge of computer-based techniques for getting this learning to occur in the simplest and most efficient way possible. What we have come up is simply the most efficient way ever for a child to learn basic math facts. Plus, our novel methods do two other important things: They give completely objective assessment of what has and has not been learned. And, they ensure that learning occurs in a way that will be best retained over time.
