Day of Remediation-Math

The Day of Remediation-Math is a daylong class designed to help participants acquire rapid and reflexive recall of the times tables.  Having such a command of the times tables is the indispensable foundation for developing the strong mental math skills a person needs to achieve high scores on the math screening assessments that are used by academic institutions and employers everywhere.  Participants spend the day focusing on related groups of times tables, taking timed quizzes, doing timed drills, playing Multiplication BINGO, and working on related mathematics exercises that reinforce the memory work.  Students not only learn invaluable basic mathematics skills that have long eluded them (e.g., multiplying fractions with cross-canceling); they also—and perhaps more importantly—learn how inescapably fundamental the times tables are to solving math problems.  Indeed, the better one knows one's times tables, the better one will be at advanced mathematics.
