Book excerpt: I wrote this workbook with a vision that is I wanted to create a workbook which, I think, will be good and useful for children. This workbook was created based on my personal educational background and teaching experience and my own chess coaching experience with my own son. All these experiences and observations tell me that a student has a higher IQ and has higher than average math score does not mean necessarily that this student will do well in math contests. Everybody can learn math, but the results could be very different. Other than to have a smart brain and the ability to learn math faster than the other children, a child needs other " qualities' to do well consistently in math contests. These special qualities include perseverance, patience, and willingness to take the time to think. The ability to be able to draw a conclusion; do comparisons; expand and instil learned knowledge onto other problems; can follow and write procedures or steps neatly and logically; organize and list data; visualize spatial relations. The student could be trained vigorously but without real interest and willingness to work on problems, then the enthusiasm of training on math contests will last long, so we know to use one pure math contest workbook alone is difficult to achieve the effect of " all-around" training. The is my vision of creating this integrated 3-in-1, unique workbook.Why is this workbook so huge? (What unique is about this workbook?)How to train a child to be more patient? How to train a student to observe and compare? One way of achieving these is to use puzzles, this is the main reason that puzzles are included in this book, Further, puzzles can increase a child's IQ. How to train a child to think " out of the box" and be creative? The integrated chess, Sudoku, and math computational puzzles can help. When considering all the above purposes, the result is that this workbook has become a huge workbook.How did I get started to create this workbook?I received my university education in Taiwan and later received my Science of Statistics master's degree in the US. My working of teaching and research of math at my own learning Centre Ho Math Chess based in Canada has offered me insights on how math is taught differently in different countries. The integrated game is a good way of learning math, in our case, chess is integrated into our worksheets, not a totally separate subject. This is one uniqueness of our series of Ultimate Math Contest Preparation, Problem Solving Strategies, and Math IQ Puzzles workbook. Since each of our workbooks has many different parts, so students could pick other materials other than math contest.Why teachers, coaches, parents, or students should buy this workbook?We need a workbook which not only just teaches math contest, it should also be fun for children to work on and at the same time to enhance their brain power. This is the vision which leads me to create this workbook and if you agree with my idea and view, then this world's first 3-in-1 integrated math contest, problem-solving strategies and fun math IQ workbook is for you and your student or child.

This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook is aimed at math contests preparation for grades 1 and 2 There are not many math contests for grades 1 and 2. The main reason, I think, is the limited math computation ability of lower grades students. Many North American students will not learn multiplication until grade 3, but many Asian countries and areas learn times table at grade 2, so there is one year of the difference of learning ahead in China. This workbook has brought its standard to meet the highest possible math curriculum in the world so four operations of computation appear in this workbook. The earlier the students could master the skills of four basic operations, the more the students could explore many possibilities of word problem computation problems. With this in mind, how does the very popular Math Kangaroo Contest test the grade 1 and grade 2 students? How is it different from other math contests? Math Kangaroo contest The Math Kangaroo grades 1 and 2 Contest almost does not include the direct math computation problems which are very different from the math contests in China where direct computation problems could include skilful computation problems. I analyzed the most recent years of Canadian Math Kangaroo Contest grade 1 and 2 problems and they start to emerge some characteristics and categories, so I include here to help students prepare for it. The lower grade math contest tends to skew to the more visual operation type of problems. The problems could be classified as follows. Many of the following problems are not typical problems appeared in the books where you can buy from a bookstore because the problems in the math contests are much more complicated and involve a lot of creativities. -Number relationships - mixed computation-Placing numbers in empty spaces-Logic problems-Geometry - Missing part of a figure or dividing a figure, Symmetry-Rotation-Counting figures and angles-Arrangement and combination-Pattern-Substitution method-Number puzzles including filling numbers into empty spaces In 2015, I started to pay attention to Chinese after-school learning centre's teaching materials and started to compare their teaching materials with our North American materials. At the same time, I researched the materials from Singapore, Taiwan, and puzzles from Japan and Britain. These analytical researches have led me to have an idea to combine all my published workbooks into one large workbook which includes math contest problems, IQ fitness, word problems, and chess and math integrated worksheets. This workbook is unique and one-of-a-kind. It also represents my idea of showcasing why math is fun to children and my ideas of using inquiry and conceptual teaching (探索及覌念教学法), then reinforced by procedural practices (步骤及題庫). I have used many of these worksheets on my own students in my classes and witnessed their feedback. Most children do not want to do just computation problems for 2 hours; very few students like to work on math contest problems for 2 hours continuously, so puzzles and chess problems are fun for them for a change.

This book was released on 2019-07-28 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a Chinese saying 十年磨一劍 (Taking ten years to sharpen a sword.), it has been almost 20 years since I published the first math contest workbook in 2002 This workbook is one-of-a-kind and world's first, I believe. In the past 20 years, I created many workbooks and the reason simply is because I could not find suitable teaching materials to use at my own after-school learning centre. Why I created another workbook this time? It is simply because there is a need for it. Let me explain. I created the following workbooks in the past: 1.Basics 2.Math IQ puzzles 3.Math and Chess Integrated workbooks using my invention of Symbolic Chess Language (SCL) 4.Math IQ Fitness 5.Integrated math, chess, and puzzles for the creative minds 6.Math Contest The trouble is, with every class, we have diversified students with different levels of math ability. Some of them could participate in the discussion. some of them were always quiet. They basically do not get full benefits from the discussion style of teaching. So, I discovered the method of student collaboration and the teacher coaching method only makes sense when students are at the same level of the playfield, otherwise, the star will always be a star and others tend to fade away with no ideas to discuss at all. How to handle this condition of teaching? I need a good arsenal of workbooks. For those who can do math contest quality problems, I give them Math Contest books; for those who need to boost their brain thinking skills, I give them Math IQ Fitness; for those who do not like play competitive chess, I give them chess and math puzzles; for those who are falling behind, I give them Basics workbooks. The result is many students end up with 4 to 6 workbooks on their desks. The assignment marking also is a nightmare. With 2-hours math teaching, I need a variety of teaching materials, much like the entertainment variety show. It would be boring if the singer continuously sings for 2-hours. The same reason for keeping up the interest in teaching math to elementary students, they need varieties of teaching contents, so I decided to combine some of my workbooks into one that is why this combined workbook is so huge, larger than most of the math workbooks you would find on the market. This workbook is designed to teach in a very small class size preferably 4 or 5 students so that students could get lots of opportunities to discuss with the teacher. One-on-one teaching would be ideal because the student gets 100% attention constantly. This workbook can be used in enrichment class because it includes many contest quality problems and thus could also be used for preparing math contests. It includes many mathematical puzzles, so it could be used as a fun math teaching workbook. It includes many mixed computations and advanced word problems, so it could be used for chess clubs while teaching chess lessons. The use of this workbook is multi-faceted. The series of "Ultimate" workbooks were written after many years of teaching experience, thus some articles in the workbooks referring to the teaching experience happened many years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After over 20 years, 7 days a week of researching on creating of math, chess, and puzzles workbooks, Ho Math Chess has made a revolutionary innovation in creating math worksheets. This long, tremendous, and practical teaching experience have helped us develop and create this series of Ultimate Math Contest Preparation, Problem Solving, and Math IQ Puzzles workbooks.Ho Math Chess worksheets not only will raise students' marks; our worksheets also improve students' brain power. This is achieved through our proprietary and copyrighted Frankho ChessDoku, Frankho ChessMazes, and various puzzles. We have come a long way to reach today's progress; it has been hard work for our worksheets research team. We did not know how to answer when our students started to ask us when we will take some time off. We were very moved when our students requested to do our worksheets -- "Can I work on the worksheets which move numbers around?"Ho Math Chess has shown its marketing strength by its teaching philosophy - fun math and is backed up by its substance that is our unique and world first math, chess, and puzzles integrated math worksheets.In the process of producing this grade 4 and 5 workbooks, I noticed that integers operations and algebraic equation have been taught to grade 4 students in China. It is debatable if algebra should be taught so early especially in North America when so many students are struggling with basic computations at grade 4, but since this workbook is also aiming to sell in China and Asian countries, so we bring this to meet to the highest international standard. The students using this workbook could be trained to participate the international math contests, not just a local or any national math contest. Teachers or parents could decide if they want to teach algebra as an option, it is up to you. How were the Chinese classic model problems written? 中国古算题是如何㝍的?Chinese classic word problems are classified according to their models. Around the 4th century, Chinese (孙子算经) was fascinated by the discoveries of various linear models, but these models were not documented from the modern algebra's viewpoint. Today, we learn to appreciate why those class model problems were passed on from generations to generations and even were taught in some of the Chinese math textbooks. These classic model problems present opportunities for students to do the enriched math and learn difficult techniques on how to solve advanced word problems. They provide an opportunity to separate the wheat from the chaff.
