Many people were curious about how I created so many unique workbooks. People were also wondered how Ho Math Chess is different from other similar learning centres. Many readers do not have an idea of how these puzzles were placed in each of our workbooks. When we first created these puzzles, we did not have a blueprint to follow because they did not exist.
Many parents do not know how to teach their children with our workbooks because they had never seen this kind of arithmetic worksheets before. So, I decided to write a book to address the above two problems, one is to describe how I created worksheets in general, and the other is to show how and why Ho Math Chess sets itself apart from others.
I would like to thank my students who had given us feedback during my writing many workbooks. I wrote a few worksheets for some of my students and tried on them and if they did not work out effectively, then I revised. Without these students’ input, some of my workbooks would not have been materialized.
I have produced unedited videos to talk about my worksheets and explained about their formatting. Watch my videos using the following links. They are very educational and one-of-a-kind.
Frank Ho presents math, chess, and puzzles integrated Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td3SKp7cukA&t=262s Published on Jun 14, 2017,
Frank walks the viewer through his unique and world's first math, chess, and puzzles integrated worksheet. No questions are shown on the sheet, only mini-chessboard, puzzle table, and his invented flat chess Geometry Chess Symbols which are being used as a set of the command language. Students follow identified square were and use chess moves to reach a puzzle table (information retrieval like cloud storage) to fetch its corresponding data. The fetched data is linked with the previously identified mini-chessboard to complete the answer. The whole process takes the boredom and mundane routine computation procedure out of the problem and replaces it with puzzle-like fun.
Ho Math Chess Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheets
This is the future style of computation problems that is students not only will be trained on computation to find answers they also are asked to use their thinking skills to figure out the problems by going through visualization, orientation, corresponding, analyzing, synthesizing, and executing abstract commanding symbols. The enforcement of the students to write the problems only imprints more impression on the number of facts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3wAMqo4qUEWhat is an Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheet? The intelligent Arithmetic worksheet allows students to work on computations but figures out the answers like they are working on word problems. I have dreamed about how can I can create a type of computation worksheet which are disruptively different from the traditionally straightforward type of computational worksheets? Not only they have to be fun, intriguing and entertaining they also must be effective in learning results. This example is one of many examples that I created and collected them in my workbook called Ultimate Math Contest Preparation, Problem Solving Strategies, and Math IQ Puzzles Grade 1 and 2 from pages 28 to 74. The Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheets take the exploratory approach which trains a student to use more of his or her brain and, yet the problem is not difficult, so an average student can solve them with fun.
I also created a video which introduces my math, chess, and puzzles combined idea as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td3SKp7cukA
