MATH RESCUE

Is your child struggling with Math, home or at school? Help is here!

Fixing the Problem

Systematic Mathematics is a video-based home school math curriculum that will repair that essential foundation for your more experienced student, or create a solid math foundation for younger students.  There is a story that goes something like this:

A maintenance man noticed that the doors started binding and cracks in the plaster started showing up on the 103rd floor of a building. An architect, known for his ability to deal with such things, was called and was to arrive at a certain time.  As the  superintendent of the building waited for him on the 103rd floor, the time passed for the man to arrive.  The superintendent was then told that the expert was in the basement.  The superintendent went down to the basement and informed the expert that the  problem was on the 103rd floor. The architect answered him by saying, "The symptoms may be on the 103rd floor, but the problem is here in the foundation." 

It is the same way with math. The math troubles that students have in 8th grade and higher are usually due to a poor foundation earlier. We can either repair the foundation, or keep patching the cracks forever. 

Knowing How vs. Knowing Why

It has been said that a man who knows how will always have a job, but he will work for the one who knows why.
You can always memorize how, but you must understand why.

Understand Math, Don't Just Memorize it!
