The atmosphere is very relaxed and I can see that the student is enjoying the fun of math learning. The student’s attitude and facial expression are all very relaxed and student´s reaction is very exciting and happy.

Characteristics of Math A Students
This article attempts to see if there are some characteristics difference between 2 group of students: those students who consistently getting A in math and those students who could not consistently getting A in math. The author believes understanding the characteristics difference between them is an effective way to raise each individual student’s math performance.
Why Some Math Formulas Shall be Memorized
Shall math formulas be memorized by students? Many times we hear the answer is either YES or NO and both these answers are absolutely wrong. If the answer is “yes” then it seems to imply that all formulas learned from grade 1 to grade 12 shall be remembered, this is a wrong way of teaching math. In contrast if the answer is “no” then it means students are not required to remember anything and in this case what is the consequence if students do not bother to remember any formulas?

My Experience of Coaching Mathcounts Math Contest Preparation
This article is about comparing the MATHCOUNTS results of students whom I coached in 1999 and 2000, with different methods in a private learning centre - Ho Math and Chess. I feel the main reason of improvements was due to different coaching methods used in these two years. Students want to participate BC MATHCOUNTS as individuals may find this paper resourceful since individual participation is allowed in 2002/2003 in BC, Canada .
How To Find A Math Tutor
Let´s face it. Math tutor does not need a license to teach (at least in North America). So anyone with some kind of degree can claim to be a well qualified math tutor and the consequence, sometimes, is poor kids suffered since they can not judge if they have been taught in the correct way or not. I have written other articles to point out some problems on how some math tutors have taught math concepts or math algorithms in a very ineffective way.
How to Use Chess to Improve Math
Some math educators seem to feel math problems can be divided into 2 parts, one is pure computation and the other is problem solving - this claim is evident by examining the textbooks used in schools. When looking at the worksheets offered for elementary students, this seems to be very logic since there is “nothing” could be related to numbers used in the computational problems to enhance thinking ability.
Sudoku Chess Puzzles Spark Children’s Math Interest
I have observed that one of the main reasons that children hate math is they have not mastered the foundation of math, surprisingly the root of problems can be traced to the basics they learned in the elementary grades such as addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. When elementary students are asked why do we have math?

How to find a good math learning center?
The most two important ingredients are the teaching material and the instructor. There are many math learning centers who have not developed materials in a systematic and consistent way, they simply collect each tutor´s lecture notes and bind them together and call them "the most valuable material developed by a group of outstanding scholars´´.
Using Chess to Teach Math in Elementary Schools
Chess has been heralded as a miracle to help children develop their math skills. How true is it? After my over 10 years of research and teaching of math, I think the answer is not a simple yes or no, rather it depends on how chess instruction is delivered. If chess is delivered as a pure game and taught in a way that it has nothing to do with math then the impact on math learning is minimum. On the other hand, if chess is integrated into math worksheets then the effect is more significant.
The Future Trend of Math Learning Center
Will the way of math teaching change in the future? I think so, especially in the elementary schools. The idea of just giving traditional math worksheets to children for them to work on and expect them to do math well will become an increasingly unpopular method of teaching math. It is boring and it is not what children wanted and children had never given any choices as to what kinds of worksheets they wanted, they were simply told to work on them.

Chess and Geometry – Teaching Kindergarten Chess
After researching the relationship between chess and math for over 10 years, I conjecture that chess is a geometry-based game, which particularly is related to the concept of symmetry. So the way to teach a very young child is perhaps to point out the meaning of symmetry in a practical way, not in a conceptual way. How young can a child learn chess?
How to Use Chess to Increase Brainpower
Although many research reports have reported that the process of playing chess is very similar to the process of critical thinking and considered that chess play as a method of improving children’s problem solving skill and brainpower. Over 10 years of teaching math and chess, I have experienced that, in practice, there are still many bumps in transferring the benefits of chess to children, especially chess is not a required subject in school’s curriculum.

以國際象棋與謎題作為數學遊戲教學實際經驗的報告
本文不探討遊戲教學是否能激發學生對學習數學的興趣，因為我們知道它的答案是肯定的。本文是報告以國際象棋與謎題來教育學生15年來的實際數學教學經驗。 一般以數學遊戲教學作為單獨課題實驗研究的缺點如下： 一般以不同類型的數學遊戲來做遊戲教學都以數個月等短期做實驗研究，所以短期研究的結論是否有長期的效果（如數年）仍待研究（林嘉玲 民89）數學研究單項教學常以某一特定年級學生為對象，以其結論能否適用于各種不同年級仍有待研究。（林嘉玲 民89， 葉盛昌 民92等）數學研究都是單獨遊戲作業而未正式與數學作業融合（王克蒂 民88），所以不論教學的方式是融入於正式課程或以數學團隊方式教法，其方法都與何數棋謎題將數棋謎與數學作業正式結合的方式不同。
How to Teach Math Elementary Math
Yesterday I was teaching a grade one girl and she had some trouble to figure out the answers with questions such as ? + 5 = 11 but when given the question 6 + 5 to her, she could do it with ease. So clearly the reverse thinking presents a bit difficulty to her. She does not have any learning disability and is eager to learn question.
