Intrinsic Value of Using Math and Chess Integrated Worksheets

A set of well-designed math worksheets has soul and feeling to their users since the creator of math worksheets is sending a strong message to children what he wants children to learn.
Many parents have wondered if today’s fast paced world including fast food concept and the internet age products such as cell phones, instant messages, downloading music etc. have contributed the problems for some children who have short attention span when learning math? It may be so, but why don’t we look at today’s math worksheets, which children are working on and see if they have changed in today’s learning environment?
Many math worksheets still use the idea of single operation and monotonic uniform style of drill. Can we really blame children who show no interest in working on these kinds of worksheets? Math worksheets have not brought up to the speed to keep up with the world, which our children live in today.
Traditional math worksheets are dull and tend to be repetitious in nature. As a consequence, they are boring to children. Some game-based teaching ideas do not really incorporate math, so there is a problem that children are unable to achieve the target of being fluent in computing. We have successfully brought chess into math and created math and chess integrated worksheets. Math and chess integrated worksheets are not just to teach kids basic computation, they also are to train children to improve their attention span, increase their perseverance and patience. They can improve children’s ability in pattern visualization. The integrated worksheets teach children on how to organize tasks in systematic approach, train children’s to be familiar with symbols.
A good working habit is equally important in children’s learning; math and chess integrated material provides children with learning opportunities in sorting, collating, and analyzing information.

Why Some Math Formulas Shall be Memorized
By: Frank Ho | 25/11/2009Shall 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?

Piano Learning Program - Rocket Piano
By: Sally Jensen | 24/11/2009Many people have learned to play the piano through various methods. The most common would be to learn under a supervision of a professor, a teacher or an instructor. This would mean paying a large fee for some time. If you do not have that much cash, a piano learning program would be ideal for you. It can actually help you be independent to learn the piano.
How To Find A Math Tutor
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009Let'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.
Sudoku Chess Puzzles Spark Children’s Math Interest
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009I 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 Use Chess to Improve Math
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009Some 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.
The Future Trend of Math Learning Center
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009Will 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.

A New Chess Set for Teaching Mathematical Chess
By: Amanda Yang | 27/06/2009 | TutoringIf one thinks that chess game is made of warriors or commanders and kings and queens battling in the field then this notion does not really address the reason why chess pieces move in a pattern-like direction for example, rook moves up and down or left and right and bishop moves diagonally. Is chess game a reflection of ancient war or is it an invention based on a mathematical principle? The author believes that chess game is invented by using the geometry symmetry concept and this conjecture is
