Right-Brained Addition & Subtraction Vol. 1 Kit
Product Information
Our right-brain math resources and games revolutionize the learning experience by harnessing the innate strengths of visual, kinesthetic, and right-brained learners. Traditional teaching methods often overlook these crucial elements, leaving many students struggling to grasp mathematical concepts. Our Math Kits are specially designed to cater to the unique needs of these learners, providing a comprehensive approach to mathematical understanding.
Visuals play a central role in our Math Kits, offering vibrant illustrations and full-color graphics that enable children to absorb complex concepts at a glance. By personifying numbers and transforming them into friendly characters with distinct personalities, we create a relatable and engaging learning environment. Stories further enhance comprehension by bringing mathematical processes to life, making abstract concepts tangible and relevant to children's lives.
Patterns are another essential component of our Math Kits, presenting numbers in organized arrays that promote pattern recognition and eliminate the need for rote memorization. Instead of memorizing individual facts, children learn to navigate the entire "map" of mathematical relationships intuitively. Additionally, hands-on activities and body motions provide tactile engagement and reinforce learning through physical movement, making math concepts accessible and memorable for active learners.
Whether your child struggles with traditional teaching methods or thrives in a hands-on, visual learning environment, our Math Kits offer a comprehensive solution that fosters mathematical fluency and confidence. With our innovative approach, learning math becomes not only easy but also enjoyable and meaningful for every child.
Right-Brained Addition & Subtraction Kits are available in two formats:
- Physical – physical book measuring 8.5” x 11”, softcover, and laminated cards measuring 4.25” x 2.75”
- Download – printable PDF file of the book and cards measuring 5.5" x 4.25"
Right-Brained Addition & Subtraction vol. 1 offers a transformative approach to math that makes learning enjoyable and accessible for children who struggle with math facts. Through the use of pictures, body movement, stories, and hands-on activities, this kit engages multiple regions of the brain during the learning process, turning what was once tedious into an enjoyable experience. Visual and kinesthetic learners, in particular, benefit from this right-brained approach.
While many children may rely on counting on their fingers for basic math, the challenge arises when they need to learn multiplication tables. This kit provides a solid foundation by emphasizing fluency in addition and subtraction facts from the start. Instead of rote memorization or finger counting, children hear stories, see pictures, arrange numbers in patterns, and engage in hand motions, making the facts stick effortlessly.
Starting from the basics of number recognition, counting, and ordering numbers, this kit gradually progresses to teach addition and subtraction up to ten. Full-color and game-based, this kit leverages your child's visual strengths for learning and retention. It includes Dot Cards and Domino Cards used in the book's lessons, laminated and extra sturdy for long-term use. With Right-Brained Addition & Subtraction Vol. 1, math becomes an engaging and empowering journey for every child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Math can often be an abstract subject, filled with symbols that may pose challenges for children who are visual and spatial processors. These learners thrive when they have access to an educational approach that conveys the meaning of mathematical symbols and procedures in ways that align with their unique learning style.
Right-brain dominant learners, in particular, have distinct needs when it comes to learning math. They excel when they can comprehend the underlying concepts and the meaning behind mathematical operations, rather than relying on rote procedures. For these learners, memorization is often less effective because the information tends not to stick in long-term memory. Kinesthetic children, who frequently possess a strong spatial and holistic perception of math, tend to see the bigger picture surrounding mathematical problems. They can often visualize or intuit solutions without needing to follow the minute, historical steps often taught in traditional math education.
To effectively engage right-brain dominant learners, it is crucial to encourage them to explore the captivating patterns that emerge within the realm of numbers. By presenting numbers in a broader context, these learners can remember how to solve problems and recall number facts more readily. The use of visual imagery, storytelling, and hands-on activities plays a central role in their learning style, despite these elements not being traditionally associated with math education. By incorporating these strategies, educators can help right-brain dominant learners make sense of and excel in the world of mathematics.
