Summary of Benefits:
1. 1-page, 100 problem worksheets - Not 1-page, 20 problems, 4-page 100 problem, or 5 problems with cute pictures; these are just like the ones used in schools
2. Velocity enhanced feature. Like other worksheets, these numbers are random. Unlike others though, your child will see the same equation within a worksheet to re-enforce learning. Think of it as compound vs. simple interest.
3. Stair-stepped math. Each daily set of 1st grade addition worksheets are constructed to emphasize the lower level numbers at first (0 to 5) and then build to the higher ones. In 2nd grade, the introduction of subtraction also
focuses on lower level problems (0 to 10). As the child moves up in grades, the range and complexity expands so to match the child's readiness.
4. Thousands of "ready-made" worksheets. No software to learn by the parent. Simply open and print.
5. Answer sheets for quick and easy checking.
6. Purchase is good for the entire family: Five Year Access!
7. No renewal notices as one-time payment is good for entire subscription term. No renewal fees!
8. Freebie: 500, 50-problem "Daily Quick Rep" school year worksheets for 2nd through 4th graders
9. Improved speed. Increase your child's speed by 40% too. In other words, a time test that once took 5 minutes to complete now only takes 3 minutes. What a feeling of success!
10. Confidence!
Critical Importance - Stop Summer "Math-Loss" NOW!
In a publication from the Educational Resources Informational Center (ERIC) on a research synthesis conducted by Cooper and Sweller, it examined the effects of summer vacation on standardized achievement test scores. From the study it was found that "Summer learning loss caused children's test scores to be at least one month lower when they returned to school in fall than when the students left in the spring."
More specifically, the meta-analysis found differences in the effect of summer vacation on different skill areas. According to the report, "Summer loss was more pronounced for math facts and spelling than for other tested skill areas. The explanation of this result was based on the observation that both math computation and spelling skills involve the acquisition of factual and procedural knowledge, whereas other skill areas, especially math concepts, problem solving, and reading comprehension, are conceptually based. Findings in cognitive psychology suggest that without practice, facts and procedural skills are most susceptible to forgetting."
In another research summary by the Center for Summer Learning, a 1996 study by H. Cooper found that on average, "a student will lose 2.6 months of grade equivalency in mathematical computational skills over the summer month."
