I’m perpetually grateful that I stumbled across Life of Math through a comment on a Facebook post, and signed up my boys, 5 & 7, for the LOM online video course four months ago. They have just completed the first level…and the mathematical ability of my boys has grown immensely over the past four months. My 5 year old has progressed from an inability to add single digits without counting on his fingers to mentally computing long series of double digit addition (sums up to 99) and subtraction with blazing speed and accuracy. Math is now their favorite subject, although they are both of literary bent.
Ms. Alpa Patel is a fantastic teacher. Her knowledge of mental mathematics is excellent, she is a clear and amiable communicator, and she encourages the students to perform at their best. My boys find her videos really enjoyable! She has given my boys confidence in their math skills and I have observed real improvement in such a short time.
Incidentally, his kindergarten teacher has recommended that he be evaluated for gifted studies (if he has the requisite IQ score for the program, it will primarily affect his math and science classes), due in no small part, I think, to the mental improvement he has experienced via your abacus mental math program. Thank you for such an amazing course!
If you want your children to have the proper foundation in mathematics, Life of Math is definitely the place to start. Highly recommend!!!!!
