Professor B Mathematics Program

Grades: K-5 + Algebra      Professor B

"In Professor B.'s books arithmetic is seen as a developmental, contextual flow (like a story). This allows children's minds to assimilate its content more quickly (in the same natural way they assimilate stories rapidly) without any gaps in their knowledge.  The texts show teachers and parents how to "tell the truth" in all the operations on whole numbers, fractions and decimals. Children achieve rapid and thorough understanding when you experience truth telling in arithmetic.  You will never hear them say, "Don't explain, just show me the steps.

Using this methodology first and second graders have mastered all addition, subtraction and multiplication facts, second graders have mastered "difficult" long division, fifth and sixth graders have passed "with flying colors" the same statewide examination in Algebra that traditionally is reserved for the brightest ninth graders.

You invest far less time for children to master each arithmetical or algebraic concept and associated skills. Virtually all children will learn so comfortably that they will complete math curricula ahead of schedule."

"Our program does not expose children to a topic one year and then return to it over the next two years in order to have them achieve mastery. Once any new topic is introduced, our methodology permits children to achieve total mastery within a few weeks (the 'secret' is our way of verbalizing explanations that enable children to understand a topic the first time they experience it).
Children who learn math by means of our verbalizations can, in turn, verbalize it (in the same way) to other children and, as they do this, they are functioning as MASTER TEACHERS of their classmates and younger siblings."

Reviews of Professor B Math Program

Grades:  K-1 Time: 2 years
I found this book in a used bookstore when I was looking for curriculum for future years. I glanced over it quickly and bought it, thinking it'd have some interesting math tricks.

My daughter was 4 at the time and I read through the first chapter. It showed a method of teaching with fingers as manipulatives. I still wasn't thinking of it as a math curriculum but some interesting math tricks. So I did lesson one with my daughter (age 4) when waiting in line at the grocery store and during errands and thought not much more of it.. till I got upset one day. I had started with a 10 dollar bill and lost some money somewhere. I verbally went through my day... saying how I had spent 5 dollars at one place and 1 here, three there... My 4yo was listening and piped up "Mommy, that means you should have 2 dollars left! Can I have one?" It was then I realized these 'math tricks' had taught my daughter more in a few minutes waiting in line than I ever imagined they could. We love the curriculum and use it as our main Math program. It just makes sense, rather than being a struggle to learn math.

This program doesn't teach time, measurement, or counting money, I have found these easy to teach in real life situations plus a couple $1 workbooks from the Dollar Tree.

Grades:  K-5 and algebra Time: currently
This is a fantastic, very quick to grasp concepts in Kindergarten Math through Algebra. My kids have never caught on as well as they did with this program. They are flying through it. I have let them watch the teachers videos, because he explains it soooooo well. I have not problem with them having access to all the program has in it. The vidoes and workbooks will let you fly. It is an amazing program. My kids love this program. Even difficult concepts seems easy with this program.

Grades:  K-3     Time: a few days

A few days ago I was a desperate mom about to send her son to a special school or to Kumon as many curriculums have passed through our house and to no avail.
I thought my son was doomed to never know his facts or ever excel in anything academic but especially math.
I myself feel rather deficient in math. Well my whole family (9 yrs, 6 yrs and 5 yrs) knows the 10 facts now and my son is starting to get math now.
My younger ones are just soaking it up and teaching daddy all the games and activities and my husband's jaws drop in amazement.
I have hope for my son now.
I just wanted to let you know there is a support email list called
u-prREMOVE SPAMofb@yahoogroups.com. Come visit us there and there is also plenty of files to give you further picture of this method.

P.S. ....

 

Check out these short video clips from my favorite band - Rockabilly.US. They play oldies, Elvis, country, and top hits of the 50s and 60s. It's a show with large band, costumes, choreography, little skits, "Kid Kritters", 6 dancing/singing girls, junior dancer troupe, etc.

"Be My Baby"
originally by the Ronettes

Impossible Dream (Elvis song)
Most importantly, the band wants to use the uplifting and energetic music to bring some fun, happiness and encouragement into people's lives. They're doing it selflessly to help others, and don't get paid for any of it themselves. And I admire that!
