Steve Hare, author of the You Teach You math series, offers insight on how to create self-instructional math activities based on pre-worked examples. If you want to know tips and tricks from the expert, this is a must read!

Educational research has consistently found one-to-one tutoring to be the most effective form of math instruction there is; classrooms are too large and diverse to work. Self-instructional materials based on pre-worked examples will be the future of math education.

We are doing our part for the environment by saving the trees that would produce millions of flash cards. We’re saving time for parents and teachers. And best of all, students are soaring as they learn their basic math facts.

Discover the power of the "Final Answer?" box in teaching math. Read how it transformed one teacher's classroom by revealing misconceptions, and guiding genuinely effective instruction. Gain insights into student thinking, fostering self-reflection, and unlocking the potential of every learner.

FactFreaks creator Steve Hare’s book series You Teach You deploys worked examples in a new way, enabling students to access math on their own. To accompany these books he has listed some worked example Do’s and Don’ts for those who want to use or create these types of powerful activities themselves.

Discover why 'good' students misbehave in class. They're not bad - they're bored, baffled, or browbeaten. Keep instruction in the Goldilocks zone to engage them effectively and avoid behavior problems. Use the 'see it, do it, check it' approach for meaningful learning.

Understanding kids' video game addiction unveils effective math instruction: Tasks should be in the 'Goldilocks zone' (balanced challenge), with clear worked examples, instant feedback, and gradual complexity. Self-paced, open-ended learning creates a similarly addictive experience.

Discover the magic of chunking! It's like Mary Poppins teaching kids to say "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" backward. Break tasks into bite-sized chunks like Disney did, and let’s make math mastery a reality, one "dociousaliexpeisticfragicalirupus" at a time!

Math textbooks fail to teach effectively, overwhelming students with content, creating cognitive overload. Publishers prioritize sales over learning. The solution? A 'see it, do it, check it' approach that simplifies learning, reduces stress, and promotes understanding. Our children deserve better!
