We are proud to offer your children, Classical Math to Classical Music-Addition. Experience classical math education and classical music education–-all in one program! These songs put the addition facts to music–-not just any music–- but the timeless melodies of the great classical composers.
While almost everyone memorizes the multiplication tables, very few children take the time to memorize their addition and subtraction facts. Instead, they tend to “count on their fingers” to arrive at the right answers. But it’s just as important to quickly know “9 plus 7” as to know “9 times 7. ”
With this program, they will hear these facts to great pieces of music like a Strauss waltz or a popular theme from Verdi’s famous opera, “Aida.” You’ve heard this music before at the movies, but now you’ll recognize it as great classical music. Not only will you hear and appreciate their music, you’ll also learn about the composers themselves! Then, you’ll reinforce that learning with clever crossword puzzles about those composers.
Learn the addition facts from 1 + 1 through 10 + 12 to great classical music See the addition facts written out in both vertical and horizontal format Read about the lives of ten great composers. Work clever crossword puzzles about the composers.
Our proven program presents each song four times. The first three times, your children will hear the answers. The fourth time through, your children will “sing in” the answers. This method of learning utilizes the time-tested method of repetition, repetition, repetition. It builds confidence, enabling your kids to remember these facts for a lifetime.
Get ready to journey into the timeless world of classical music with Classical Math to Classical Music. You and your students will treasure the experience always.
If you're going to set math facts to music to learn them, why not set them to classical music? And why not throw in a little study of the composers as a bonus? If you did, you'd have this product. Each of the tables is set to a classical melody taken from a work by the likes of Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Chopin, Handel, and other famous composers. For example, the 5x table is presented with a theme from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. The 9+ facts are set to a song from Verdi's Aida. Each "song" is performed four times on the CD; the first three are sung with answers, the last time your child will solo. Songs are not lyrical; they just repeat all of the math facts for that number. These are much like the Audio Memory method, only the music is less sing-songy because the melodies are more complex. Each CD is accompanied by a short booklet with a 2-page spread for each number. The left facing page has all of the math facts for that number shown in both horizontal and vertical format. The right facing page has a brief composer biographical sketch followed by a short crossword puzzle about the composer. The addition package covers facts from 1's to 10's. The multiplication set covers tables to 12's. The last page in each book is a reproducible drill sheet with all of the mixed facts, including space for completion time and score. An appealing math memory aid and drill product that's sure to become a classic in its own right.
