26 Dec 2011    Why Ho Math and Chess workbook benefits children? What’s wrong with the traditional drill computation? From my tutoring point of view, there is nothing wrong to give them to children for practice on fluency and grasp of basics. However, there is something wrong form children’s point of view that is they are boring, dull and not fun. Why children feel that way?   26 Dec 2011    Comparison of Ho Math Chess workbook to the traditional math workbook What’s wrong with the traditional drill computation? From my tutoring point of view, there is nothing wrong to give them to children for practice on fluency and grasp of basics. However, there is something wrong form children’s point of view that is they are boring, dull and not fun. Why children feel that way?   24 Jul 2011    Use algebra or arithmetic to solve elementary math word problems? The algebraic method is good because it is thought (and in fact it is true) as a universal way to solve all kinds of elementary math word problems, but is it always true? My research shows in most cases, it is; especially some word problems like Chicken and Rabbits, Age problems, Work problems, Travelling problems, % applications etc can be "easily" solved by using algebra but some word problems actually are awkward to use algebra, so the teaching of elementary math word problems can be raised to a bit higher level that is to show students in what situations, it is better off to use algebra and in what cases, the arithmetic method actually is superior than algebra.   11 May 2011    Chess is boring Chess can be boriing if it is not taught in a correct way and kids could get turned off by playing chess without thinking at all. Chess play is boring if kids simply play chess like pushing a set of "wooden" toys.   6 Apr 2011    Ho Math and Chess creates revolutionary math workbooks To run a successful math specialty learning centre, there are three important objectives which must be achieved. The most important one is student’s day school math mark must show improvement. The other two are parents must be able to see the teaching value and the children must like the program. With the approval of trademark of Ho Math and Chess Learning Centre’s invention of Geometry Chess Symbol, we are able to create some disruptive, revolutionary math workbooks which are out of this world, and we are also very pleased to announce that we are able to achieve these three important objectives as mentioned above with the creation of our unique products.   28 Dec 2010    Enrichment or gifted mathematics teaching for Vancouver Canada gifted elementary children in a learning centre   9 Sep 2010    How to prepare for SSAT and elementary math contests in Vancouver   19 Jul 2010    How to teach dyscalculia kindergarten children?   23 Jun 2010    Why some Chinese students are better at math?   1 Mar 2010    What is wrong with math education   17 Feb 2010    Dyscalculia Children Cases Documented – Article 1   29 Jan 2010    How mental math hurts children if they are not trained   29 Jan 2010    A secret to helping your child succeed in math   26 Jan 2010    How to run a successful franchised math learning center   21 Jan 2010    Why Chess helps Math   17 Jan 2010    Why everyone can learn math but not everyone can get A   1 Jan 2010    Ho Math and Chess Worksheets Really Work   1 Jan 2010    Why invert and multiply when working on fraction divisions   26 Dec 2009    How to Run Math Franchise Successfully   22 Dec 2009    Teaching Dyscalculia Children Using Chess   17 Dec 2009    What makes math learning fun   10 Dec 2009    Characteristics of Math A Students   25 Nov 2009    Why Some Math Formulas Shall be Memorized   8 Nov 2009    How can you tell if a Math and Chess tutoring centre is a math and chess really integrated one   5 Oct 2009    Why fraction is so difficult?   9 Aug 2009    Students Need to Have Basic Mental Math Ability   24 Feb 2009    How is Ho Math and Chess different from others?   2 Dec 2008    How to Teach Fractions   26 Nov 2008    The Future Trend of Math Learning Center   17 Nov 2008    How to Buy Franchised Math Learning Center   17 Nov 2008    Is High IQ Equal to High Math Marks   7 Nov 2008    Sudoku Chess Puzzles Spark Children’s Math Interest   27 Oct 2008    Intrinsic Value of Using Math and Chess Integrated Worksheets   22 Oct 2008    How to Get High Marks in Math   22 Oct 2008    How to find a good math tutor?   6 Jul 2008    The Effect of Math and Chess Integrated Instruction on Math Scores   16 Jun 2008    How I Become a Better Math Tutor   22 May 2008    Using Chess to Teach Math in Elementary Schools   19 May 2008    Why Go To A Game-based Math Learning Center   18 May 2008    Math Worksheets Children Like   18 May 2008    How To Find a Math Tutor   11 May 2008    How Much Mental Math is Needed?   29 Apr 2008    Secrets of getting high math marks   25 Apr 2008    What is Kumon Chess™?   20 Apr 2008    What is Ho Math?   16 Apr 2008    Comparing Kumon Math to Ho Math and Chess   1 Apr 2008    3 reasons why students can’t do math well   29 Feb 2008    Master Math Basics Before Grade 4   25 Feb 2008    How to Get High Marks in Math   20 Feb 2008    Why Children Do Not Learn Math Well   20 Feb 2008    How to Teach Word Problems to Elementary Students   12 Feb 2008    How to Teach Math (Elementary Math)   11 Feb 2008    How to Improve Math Worksheets   10 Feb 2008    Singapore Math Demystified   7 Feb 2008    Finding Math and Chess Learning Center as Easy as 1 2 3   5 Feb 2008    How to Find a Good Vancouver Summer Program on Math   4 Feb 2008    My Experience of Using Ho Math and Chess Teaching Set vs.Traditional Chess Set   29 Jan 2008    How to Find a Good Vancouver Math Tutor   24 Jan 2008    How to Teach Times Table (Multiplication Table or Facts)   16 Jan 2008    Monther tongue language has great impact on math ability   13 Jan 2008    How to Find a Good Elementary Math Tutor   1 Jan 2008    Case Studies on How Math and Chess Affects Children’s IQ   31 Dec 2007    Comparing Traditional Chess Set to the Flat-Faced Chess Set   31 Dec 2007    How to Find a Learning Center Franchise Using Good Math Worksheets   31 Dec 2007    How My Son Became a Chess Master   29 Dec 2007    Ho Math and Chess Invents Dotted Arabic Numerals to Teach Children How to Add or Subtract   25 Dec 2007    An Innovative and Fun Way of Teaching Math   25 Dec 2007    How to Use Chess to Improve Math   25 Dec 2007    How To Use Chess to Increase Brainpower   17 Nov 2007    How to Play Blind Chess or Half Chess   28 Oct 2007    Ho To Teach Children Math   25 Oct 2007    Ho to Teach Kindergartner Chess and Math?   5 Aug 2007    Why Ho Math and Chess integrated workbook works more effectively?   5 Aug 2007    Maximize Educational Value of Chess   5 Aug 2007    The Magic 1   5 Aug 2007    How to Buy a Specialty Math Learning Center Franchise   25 Apr 2007    Chess and Geometry – Teaching Kindergarten Chess   7 Apr 2007    Why Chess Knight Jumps?
