Power of 2: The One to One Coaching System for Maths Success

good quality

Ich sehe Fortschritteund die Kinder auch, und es macht ihr Spaß

For various reasons our daughter had fallen behind her peers in maths (p4), she struggled daily and had lost every ounce of confidence. Although I had purchased several maths workbooks to do at home she had given up before she sat at the table to do extra work, ending up in tears every time. Her teacher suggested that we try Power of 2, and I am so grateful she did. My daughter has gone from having no confidence to breezing through several activity pages getting every single question correct!!! It starts off fairly easy, which is brilliant because it builds the individuals confidence and makes sure all the fundamentals are in place before the activities get trickier. I have had her teacher comment to me in the last week that she’s seen a massive improvement in my daughters ability and confidence, and I know exactly what that’s attributed to! I have gone from spending an hour working through addition/subtraction/multiplication workbooks with a distressed child to doing three or four activity pages of the Power of 2 spending 15-20 ENJOYABLE minutes where there’s big smiles for achievements at the end! I am still amazed by my daughters progress and confidence, I would absolutely recommend this coaching system.

This is a very easy book 5 to follow. We set the timer for 10 or 11 minutes and go. It starts with very basic maths and repeats everything so ideas are cemented in their mind. My daughter has gained in confidence since we started. Definitely good for those struggling and great for parents who do not know how to teach them the basic concepts. It seems pricy but for the content covered and confidence it inspires it is worth it.

I m very pleased with this book - it has boosted my son's confidence a lot and number facts seem to be really settling into his brain. Number facts and mental maths have been very difficult for him as his short-term memory is not good and this is the first time I have found something that works. We keep the sessions short each day. I have a kitchen timer set for 15 minutes and he knows that if he concentrates hard we finish early at around 10-11 minutes which seems to motivate him. We also have their other book Perform with Time but that was a big disappointment. The method didn't work so well in the time book as it seemed to assume you already knew how to tell time and just needed lots of practice. This mental maths programme on the other hand gives tips and techniques as well as practice.
