This week I am joined by the delightful Sensei Miwako, founder of JAMS, to talk about maths and, more specifically, why the Abacus method can help children overcome their "math struggle".
JAMS is the only math school in the Portland and Beaverton area certified by the League for Soroban Abacus.
They use the teachings of Abacus & Anzan instruction to build a solid and strong foundation of mental mathematics with lifelong skills.
She's also the founder of abacus online, (because there are only soo many people you can reach when you do face to face classes.)
Miwako has over 2 decades of abacus teaching experience and is the most enthusiastic advocate for better math education that you will ever come across!
We talk about many things including;
Why children struggle when though math in schools.
Why teaching kids "the concept of math", as most schools do, simply won't work.
The difference between Kumon and the abacus method.
The purpose of a school should not just be to help your child pass an exam.
Why some children "shut down" when they don't understand something.
How the abacus method teaches a life-skill.
Why math is actually simple if you just break it down properly.
That EVERY SINGLE CHILD can "get good at math" and that it doesn't need to cost you a fortune in education and tutoring.
And so much more.
Miwako is a delight. I absolutely LOVE talking to people that genuinely have an interest in helping people and am completely on board with her idea that the way schools teach math (all disjointed and how it's all about "showing your workings" rather than knowing the answer) is a killer for most kids and puts people off math more than it helps anyone.
Definitely check out her website if your child, or yourself, want access to a dead-easy way to improve your math skills.

Just a reminder that HPNB now only has 5 billing cycles!
So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!
BUT, if you decide you want to do the rest of the program, after only 5 months of paying $10/£8 a month you now get FREE LIFE TIME ACCESS!
This means you can sign up after your first child, use the program and recover and then still have access after giving birth to child 2 and 3!
None of this "pay X amount a year" nonsense, once you've paid..you've paid!
This makes HPNB not just the most efficient and complete post-partum recovery program, it's also BY FAR the best value.
Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos. And, of course, you can always find us on our YouTube channel if you like your podcast in video form :)
