Both the original Shichida 63-Day Math Program and my Random Dot cards offer this.Ģ. Ideally, every card should have a slightly different random pattern. However, for the child looking at the cards, he’d see largely the same pattern, and note the +1 relationship.

This is a very simple way of creating the flash cards, saving time and cost. The other set: Some consecutive cards consists of random dots in the same pattern, the only difference is adding 1 more dot. I bought 1 set of the original Shichida 63-Day Math Program and 1 of “the other set” (completely different box packaging) to compare.ġ. Q: I’ve seen another 63-Day Math Program set at a lower price. Jae, at 2 years 8 months, recognises small quantity of objects by sight, is trying to count until 100 (both from rote and one-to-one correspondence), and does simple addition. The strong foundation in understanding numerical relationship allows him to grasp new math concepts easily. I believe this complete system helped Vee in his mental calculation through intuition or working out in his head, depending on his choice at that moment.

The 63-Day Math Program and Printable Math Flash Cards complement each other, that’s why I cover all at home. Similarly, the Multiplication Flash Cards help in recitation and visualisation of the times table. The Addition Flash Cards help in recitation and visualisation of the addition facts. For instance, odd/even number, squares, etc. If you try the lesson plan ideas, they cover beyond 4 operations. Once the child understands 100 (both arranged or random), she can easily move to 101-200, then 1000’s. It’s important to flash until 100, which is an important number. The objective is to help child see various ways of arranging a quantity of dots. The Printable Random Dot and Pattern Dot Flash Cards cover 0-100. It was later updated to the current 63-Day program to keep the quantity within 50.) (The older version was the 65-Day Math Program that covers quantity from 1-100. The main objective is to help the child achieve lightning speed calculation through intuition. The 63-Day Math Program covers quantity from 1-50. So in my day’s flash cards set, it may be like: Q: If the Shichida 63-Day Math Program already covers quantity as well as 4 operations (addition, etc.), does it mean we don’t have to flash the printable dots? It’d be overlapping?Ī: In Shichida class, the sinsei flashes Random Dots, Variety / Picture Dots, Organised / Pattern Dots, and some Addition for toddler class.Īt home, parents are supposed to go through the 63-Day Math Program, Addition +1 to +10 and Multiplication. Vee, Jae and Baby El love the variety picture dots.Īlso, if I miss a day, it’s easy to go through 2 days’ set if the child likes it. With the pre-packed cards, it’s very easy to be on schedule. Ended up missing days.Īlso, it’s common for children to get bored of red dot cards within the cycle or at subsequent cycles. I used to go through the cycles using the list of equations and red dot cards.ĭownsides: need to prepare the cards every night, for next day’s lesson. The list of equations and instructions are copyrighted, so the easiest and most reliable way for non-Shichida students to access it is through the original flash cards package. This supposedly helps the child in mental calculation using dot imaging / intuition. It is suggested to complete 3-4 cycles in a year. It covers quantity, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, multitudinous equations (longer equations with brackets), moving systematically from dots to numerals.Īfter completing one cycle (with minimal number of days rest in between), rest for 1 month, do dot worksheet / practice in daily life. In the pre-packed set, each day’s cards are placed in a separate cardholder. The Shichida 63-Day Math Program is a way to flash specific quantities or equations on each day. Q: What is the difference between the Shichida 63-Day Math Program and the Math Dot printables?Ī: The Math Random Dots printable consists of dots and numerals 0 to 100, which can be flashed in different ways as suggested in the lesson plan ideas. Here are some of the answers for sharing… Since launching The Ultimate Right Brain Math Program*, I’ve received many enquiries.
