    Introducing Multibandz.  Succeed in Maths AND have Fun!
    It’s never been easy getting kids to learn their multiplication and division tables, until multibandz. It wasn’t easy when we were kids. There were outdoor activities and other things vying for our attention. While there were far fewer television options then, the TV was still there to distract us. Today it’s even tougher to get kids to focus on their studies when they are out of the classroom, with smartphones, tablets, and television all stealing kids' attention. Not only has it not been easy, but it was also usually drudgery, too. In the old days, it was tables written on a chalkboard, flash cards, and rote memorisation from reciting them in class. It was similar to a trip to the dentist – a lot of teeth pulling – and almost as much fun. Continue reading →

  4. Math Learning Games made fun

    math learning gamesWhat if maths was fun? What if there were math learning games that kids enjoyed doing, that acted as a reward system and that was so good dozens of schools employed them? There is such a thing and it’s called Multibandz. The concept is quite simple – and it’s surprisingly cheap. Multibandz is a math learning game that builds your child’s skills. Each band has a times table – from 1 through 12 - and the child can refer to the band on their hand until they master that particular multiplication skill. As the Professional Learning Board says, “One way of developing a skill is to make it a stored routine in the students’ system. As a skill is practiced or rehearsed over days and weeks, the activity becomes easier and easier while naturally forcing the skill to a subconscious level where it becomes permanently stored for recall and habitual use at any time.” That’s the principal behind Multibandz; repetition, encouraged over days and weeks.

  5. Know your times tables? What’s 7x8? 6x9?

    multibandz maths learning wristbandsIf you’re a certain age… you probably learned your math times tables by rote.  Good old repetition.  But how do your kids learn today? And is it ‘getting into their heads’ as best it can? What a lot of schools (and parents) are doing today is using the mnemonic trick of a multibandz time table wristband. Each band runs through a times table and the child simply refers to that every time they want the answer. When it’s all sunk in, they move up to the next band. Because it’s a reward, young children strive to learn the table and move up. They love collecting the bands and they love trying to remember their times tables. Our orders from schools are increasing dramatically because they’ve found that the system works. Continue reading →
