USE A MEMORY MAP :tourist:
NONE OF MY STUFF NEEDS TO BE PUSHED
IT CAN ALL BE LEARNT QUICKLY BY SHORT REPETION DAILY
IT IS DESIGNED TO BE MEMORY EFFICIENT
WE CAN ALL BE SUPER IN MATHEMATICS IN LESS THEN TEN MINUTES A DAY by STARTING EARLY
99.9% OF WHAT ANYONE KNOWS THEY LEARNT THEMSELVES
I SAY WE HAVE TO PERFECT THE 0.1% of the knowledge we need to build into our abilities
and so we start mr five and mr 6
a new one i created this morning form
a d & a b make a p & q
this is one shape viewed in four different letter sounds simply form a d with your left thumb and finger and the b with the right hand.
then say a d and a b make a p and a q turning the letters upside down.
any child can copy you just try it
[SIZE="5"]A layman’s view of our human mind and where it fits into our human brain.
Written by a neurological layman for the benefit of his own understanding and that of parents and others concerned with vital early education.
I am writing this from a neuro/philosophical stand point.
Just like every one else, I have a limited knowledge of just how the human mind works, I am writing from my own standpoint about how I consider my personal mind works, within the context of our human brain. Obviously our individual mind can never be replicated, so as far as our mind is concerned it is an individual item, an intangible concept for each individual, based on their experience within their individual life, through childhood education and adult life.
So we must consider the view that “the mind” is a concept rather then a fact, our minds are nothing more or less then an individual concept within the physical reality of our brain.
The mind, our conscious reality, is clearly divided into two areas, the conscious working platform where we are actively aware of our reasoning and the ideas under consideration.
AND
The subconscious mind that is unseen and works at the speed of light, if we burn our hand, our mind removes our hand from the flame, the movement is just as fast as is physically possible, but the mental instruction is instantaneous.
Our subconscious mind is the physical servant of the concept of mind, something provided as is our conscious mind by the properties of the brain, our brains clearly work on two levels, the level we are aware of where decisions are made in light of our personal knowledge, with the unrealised high speed ability of our subconscious mind to deliver ideas at the speed of light into the conscious arena.
For instance, ideas are stored visually throughout our lives. When we need them, our subconscious mind converts them into speech or an active concept I describe as “image in action” and delivers them instantaneously either into our thinking areas for consideration or into speech for joint consideration.
The finest example of our subconscious mental ability, is the ability of the subconscious mind to convert words into images or visa versa as we read or listen.
[COLOR="Red"]HIGH SPEED THINKING IS VISUAL
THE SUBCONCIOUS MIND CONVERTS THOUGHT INTO SPEECH AND SPEECH INTO VISUAL MEMORY
MEMORY HAS A VISUAL STARTING POINT
THIS INSTANTANEOUS ABILITY ALOWS US TO SHARE OUR EXPERIANCES[/COLOR]
The importance of counting and reading being established early, is clearly in the advantages of the increased ability, it gives to the individual childs mental structure.
Learning and memory are both completely natural. Every child copies sound and association in order to develop language, every child copies any physical process that it has contact with in order to live alongside its family.
Modern mathematics have been moulded over the last three centuries in order to enhance calculation ability, writing has been developed in order to store and explore ideas and facts at will.
Children that are brought up without an active parent or guardian in early years are most generally regarded as less able then children brought up with an active parent or guardian.
Only active parents or guardians can start to teach children arithmetic and reading at the most appropriate time, the most appropriate time being just as soon as one can. In practical terms, this means when the child develops its speaking ability sufficiently, around three to four years of age, but the earlier the better.
My own research identifies advantages in permanent memory ability, when only vital things are taught and reinforced until perfected, before moving on, for instance knowing left from right is vital for every ones safety. Much more securely established without choice.
It is every Childs first lesson as they establish Mr five and Mr six as the names of the two prominent fingers (thumbs up), which are in reading order not a choice of two.
My teaching program can be adapted to teaching either one to one, or teaching in hundreds, as it involves a certain amount of singing /chanting to establish permanent easily acquired memories, which are immediately being reinforced by visual understanding, just as quickly as they can be.

I taught a graduate level course in "Discover Learning in Mind, Brain and Body" at Chapman University College in San Diego along with being the course coordintor for 20 other Chapman University Colleges in California and other states. I used a number of great texts yet the text that the student enjoyed the best was by James Zull. The URL included illustrates a little of the book. Please take a look see.....
The course was very exciting if I must say...the only constraint was the four hours blocks of class time in the late evening otherwise a real winner.
Be well,
