The Math Country team is made up of practicing mathematics teachers with a combined teaching experience of more than 35 years, who are also authors of unique methods of intensive children's education. Using our materials, kids learn important skills such as: mental counting while solving math problems; photographic memory and spatial orientation; logical, critical, and analytical thinking; the ability to concentrate and focus attention; belief in their own ability to solve a problem (leads to greater self-esteem and being more focused on the result); increased artistic potential and creative thinking; improvement of hearing and optical memory. This serves as great preparation for the Gifted and Talented tests. A feature of our notebooks is the symbiosis of mental arithmetic and classical mathematics. This allows the use of both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously. This helps in developing memory, imagination, and visualization; and helps kids reach a high understanding of the material. In total, this exponentially increases the speed at which the learning process happens allowing kids to easily solve problems of different levels of difficulty. Mental arithmetic is a UNIQUE method of teaching children that trains the speed of perception and processing of information and allows them to simultaneously develop both hemispheres of the brain at the same time by mentally visualizing the calculations on the abacus. A developed brain is a basis for successful future activities. Our colorful notebook and the style of having exercises in the form of games lets children learn the material easily and hassle-free. Also, the workbook contains a lot of funny pictures and interesting tasks that create positive motivation for learning and actively develop the logic, memory, attention, and intelligence of children. The material consists of 6 lessons plus additional exercises for homework to repeat. We wish you and your child succeed in learning mathematics and mental arithmetic!
