Review written by Christine Hindle for the Old
Schoolhouse Magazine - November 2010
"This
product is a math program from England that uses Cuisenaire Rods to
teach math at all levels starting with preschool. It consists of a
computer program for "playing" with the colored rods on a grid. an e-book with
extensive instructions, and a User's Manual (all downloadable - no shipping
involved). This is a wonderful program for a visual
learner. On the preschool level, it gets the child ready
for math by just providing play time with the rods, enabling the
child to visualize sizes and comparable amounts - leading to addition. The
curriculum teaches vocabulary (letter names and color names for the rods) and refers
to this as "algebra before arithmetic." If the child uses the rods and learns
the concepts from the beginning, the program builds into addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, algebra
etc.
I own a set of Cuisenaire rods
and have used them in the past with math, but I never really had the knowledge
of how best to incorporate them into the program. With this very
detailed e-book and the accompanying software and manual, I now have the tools
available to me. I intend to start my kindergartener with this
program so that she can have the opportunity from the start. She already is
familiar with the rods and plays with them: now I can start her on her math
journey. Just introducing the preliminary concepts has already proven
successful with her, and she is excited about
using the manipulatives and using the computer program
provided.
I
highly recommend this product and the
ingenious approach to math, especially for all the visual learners in
our homeschools."

We know that
learning should be fun - RIGHT!
We also know that
children are natural learners - Right
Again!
Then why is it that many
children (and adults) hate Math?
Is Math just one of those
subjects we simply have to endure? Absolutely
Not!!!
Learning (and teaching) Math
can and should be fun . . . An exciting journey of discovery through an
infinite universe of fascinating patterns and relationships. . . NOT a blinkered
march down the same well worn path that inevitably leads to many children (and
adults) getting hopelessly lost along the way.
The key is to provide
children with a positive experience of Math from as early an age as
possible.
How? Through
PLAY.
PLAY is one of the most powerful motivational forces
known to man and. . . children love to PLAY.
Young children are naturally
kinesthetic/tactile learners - they love to handle things - explore -
investigate the world around them.
What if we could channel that thirst for knowledge
. . .
How? Through PLAY . . . Using the most complete math manipulatives ever devised
. . . Cuisenaire Rods.
What if through a unique
program built on . .
. . . play
. . . directed activities
. . .
games
. . . open ended tasks and challenges. . .
. . . you could ensure
your child develops a love and understanding of
Math that
a more formal and traditional curriculum could never deliver.
The Ensure Your Child Succeeds At Math Program and Software does exactly that enabling
children to progress from designing their own creations (play) to undertanding
complex math concepts like:
- The Introduction of signs and their practical
application - addition, subtraction, division and multiplication
- Writing simple to complex equations.
- Fractions as operators.
- Algebra . . . and much, much more.
This is a Math program that grows with your
child!

"Whatever Happened To That Happy Child Who Couldn't Wait To Go To
School?"
Now every day is a
battle. Headaches, sickness, tantrums, tears . . . there just has to be a
reason. .. 
“I despised
math of any kind. To me it was like trying to
learn another language...all of it. I still hate it!
Anything involving math makes my head hurt.”
“I hated
math. It was horrible. And the teachers . . . couldn't explain it very well
because they didn't understand why we don't
understand!”
“I thought it
was the most boring and confusing subject . . . That would be my idea
of hell having to sit through math classes!
The
comments above were taken from recent posts on MyLot.com
in response to the question, “Ever had a most hated subject when
you were in school?” They were representative of 70% of
the responses.
"Math - The One Subject Most Likely To Cause Your
Child To Fail - Don't Let It!"
"The
teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for
granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes
became sheer terror and torture to me.
I was so intimidated by my
incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any
questions."
Psychologist Carl Jung echoes the feelings of millions
of us.
Sadly,
long before they reach the age of seven many children have ‘switched-off’ to
math.
Eventually most children become parents.
One day they hear the
dreaded words . . .

The Powerful
Features Of The Software and Program Include:
|
- Animated
Support –
The program is supported by over 50 flash
animations
demonstrating a particular developmental unit.
Each animation in the eBook
has a link to YouTube where the corresponding video can be viewed or
downloaded.
|
|
- Play - Children discover math is creative and fun. Concepts are
acquired through play, games and open-ended challenges. e.g. Number Bonds, Algebra,
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Pattern, Sequences,
|
|
- Ensure Your Child Succeeds At Math teaches universal math concepts in a way that
is totally child-centered.
Young children are predominantly Kinesthetic/Tactile
learners and the program is designed to compliment the way they
learn best.
|
|
- Tailored To Your Unique Child - Children learn at their own pace. They are never held
back or pushed beyond their current ability level. Because of this children’s learning is invariably accelerated
compared to children exposed to more traditional and
formal methods.
|
|
- Supports Language Development – The program assists your child's
language development. The program teaches your child how to 'read' and 'write'
simple to complex math sentences and algebraic equations. based on their own
creations.
|
|
- Incidental Learning – Much
information is unconsciously
acquired as
we listen to T.V. advertisements etc. As
children
play with the rods they are unconsciously absorbing
mathematical concepts (like number bonds to 10) and enjoying the experience
immensely.
|
|
- Learn How To Learn
- EYCSAM is far more than an an
excellent math program. Because it is based on the latest research
into how the the brain learn bests it actually teaches thinking
skills and helps your child learn how to
learn.Children
will easily understand the concepts behind Pythagoras' Theorem from an early age
because they are introduced naturally using a play-based hands on
approach.
|
|
- Visual Learners – Children enjoy the visual
impact of their creations that enable them to ‘see’ mathematical patterns and
concepts. Because 90% of our information intake is
visual
this feature is very important. Edison and Einstein were visual learners .
Color, one of the key elements of the program and software,
is a
powerful aid to memory recall and classification.

never think in words, only pictures"Thomas Alva Edison

-
The Perfect Recovery Program
- Older children and
adults have used EYCSAM
to acquire an understanding and
love of math they never discovered the first
time round. In the UK the program gained an accreditation from the Open College
Network to be used as a recovery math program for adults.
