Hadamard found, in a study of 100 leading mathematicians, that the majority of them were primarily visual in their approach. Some [including Einstein] went further back to sensations of a kinesthetic kind." Scientific American, Sept., 1984, p. 56. The secret to learning math is consistency. Ten minutes or ten problems a day, if done consistently, can yield significant results.

Does your child's handwriting look like chicken scratch? If so, give them this app. It has everything kids need to master fundamental handwriting skills, step by step. Learn Handwriting 2nd Grade features 41 simple lessons that teach writing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and even whole words with correct spacing and shape, all without pencil and paper. The platform is designed by an ex-Google product manager to maximize learning and minimize frustration. A stylus is recommended as it develops pencil holding skills, but the practice works well with a finger too. Watch your child's handwriting abilities improve with just a few minutes of regular practice. The content is so simple and the technology is so effective that even kids with learning disabilities and difficulties decoding text can learn on their own. Features: • 41 simple step-by-step lessons. Students can learn by themselves, at their own pace. • Effective, adaptive practice.

When they make mistakes, the questions change in real-time following the ‘spaced repetition’ learning theory. • Text to speech. Tap on any word or sentence to have it read out loud. • Auto-play. Sit back and enjoy the whole lesson read to you. Even kids with difficulties decoding text or paying attention can learn spelling skills on their own. • Switch between up separate student and teacher profiles. • Teacher View: Keep kids accountable for regular practice with minimal effort.
