🌳📖 ‘The Maths Tree’

– Morrish Maths students’ Road Map to enjoyable maths learning.

Read on to see how this will help your child, too.

Most school subjects do not require topics to be studied in an exact order.

For example history. If kids concentrate on Tudor times first, then move on to ancient Greece, and to WWII after that – it’s OK. Everyone will quickly adjust and relate to what they are learning.

But for science, for example, the order of topics will have to be stricter.

As for maths – there is practically only one order!

Every school on Earth will start teaching maths with numbers.

No school will teach children subtraction before they teach addition. Etc.

But the problems start growing soon after, because the order of maths topics in textbooks and in teachers’ lessons is not as strict as it should be!

As a result:
🟣 Kids do not see the big maths picture.
🟣 Kids never know where they stand in their maths learning.
🟣 They constantly doubt the need of studying this or that maths topic.

And their maths learning enthusiasm is affected as they fail to see how maths is useful in their lives.

As maths is based on cool-headed, unambiguous, perfect logic, it’s hard for kids to learn it!

And this is why systematic maths learning is a must.

And this is why I created “The Magic Maths Tree” for my students.

In essence, this is maths students’ Road Map.

📖 The Maths Tree:
🌳 There is no maths topic studied by 3-15 year olds in traditional maths schools that is not pictured on “The Maths Tree”.
🌳 Every maths topic pictured on The Maths Tree is necessary for developing the correct maths understanding.

This ensures children’s smooth maths learning.

I use The Maths Tree in my lessons all the time.

My students love it!

You and your child can use it, too.
❓Let me know in comments what maths topic your child is studying right now?

🟪 Proper understanding of maths concepts requires the correct maths thinking.
Once children develop it, they grow to enjoy learning maths and start to see how to use it independently.

📢 Contact me with the word TREE and I shall give you free access to “The Maths Tree” with the list of ordered maths topics.

P.S.

Perhaps some mathematicians and teachers will argue that the order of topics on my Maths Tree can be improved.

Yes. Perhaps my order is not perfect.

🟣 But my point is that there has to be an order!

Or children learn maths in the dark.

Have you noticed how one day your child is taught in a class e.g.
(🌳3) fractions and then the teacher moves to maybe
(🌳G) geometry and then kids are invited to revise, say,
(🌳8 and 🌳9) solving equations or plotting functions or
(🌳P&S) count probabilities?

This jumping from topic to topic (in all directions on “the tree”) often happens and there are reasons why the teacher does that.

But this doesn’t help kids.

“The Math Tree 🌳” assists children in avoiding confusion and maximising their learning from school lessons, regardless of the topics their teacher chooses to teach or review in a given lesson.

P.P.S.

Maths is identical in all schools on Earth (only teaching traditions and styles vary). So, “The Maths Tree” is helpful to all kids on Earth.
