Times tables using your hands!

Divide each difficulty into as many parts ...

"Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it."

Knowledge and wisdom

To acquire knowledge, one must study;

but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.

--- Marilyn vos Savant


The goal of learning is to acquire knowledge and acquire wisdom.
The work we put into study helps us acquire knowledge, the work we put into observation helps us to acquire wisdom!

To observe, is not just to look at things outside and around us, but also the mind and the soul within ourselves!

Spelling Technique

The picture method used in this video can be use for teaching spelling to make learning more fun and interesting!

I think kids will find spelling meaningful if they can link words with picture or drawing, even though they may not be dyslexia!

Spelling Technique for Dyslexic

"Most dyslexics have problems with reading and spelling, specifically with phonics , decoding words and remembering how to spell them. But for many, visual aids are extremely important in all aspects of learning. This technique uses visual cues within the words to help the child recognize the word and remember how to spell it."

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

-- Beverly Sills (1929-2007) American Opera Singer


If there is any learning that you see value in acquiring, it is worth your while to work on it day in and day out.

You will want to perfect it with perseverance! It is just natural for you to do it!

Act like a champ

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ.
You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose.
Everyone has bad stretches and real successes.

-- Nancy Kerrigan


To be successful in learning, you have to start with a mind set that you want to be a champ!

Then act like a champ by copying all the methods a champ will apply in the course of winning the championship.

Even if you didn't become the only Champ in that field of study, you will be one of the champ in the group of champion you friend with!

Cheers!
