Benefits Of Math Flashcards To Learners

By Betty Murray


As much as someone may look at them as simple toy-looking gadgets, they have great value in the learning and teaching process. After being used and proved to be a good technique, it has gained popularity all over the world. It motivates learners making them more interested. It is therefore used to help some learners who believed mathematics is tough to change their attitude. Math flashcards have not only improved attitude but also the performance in the subject.

The technology has been embraced by most stakeholders, but there are some few who have not fully embraced it. In class, the teacher should try and move together with the whole class. The teacher, therefore, has to motivate and urge them to develop a positive attitude. The teacher, therefore, needs to explain to the students how the technique could improve their performance.

Some learners are good on their own without necessarily involving the flashcards. Math has diverse methods of dealing with it which might seem simpler to others than they are to another group. But generally, any teacher knows that the introduction of the method could help many embrace the subject.

This is an interactive method, and at large it could involve both children and adult learners. It improves on the retention ability of information by the learners. Most stakeholders find this method of teaching very effective. The students grasp math techniques fast, direct and less strenuous. Their colorful nature makes them attractive, and learners remember the technique in association to the colors.

This method requires the teacher to flash the cards as a demonstrative means. It is, therefore, eye-capturing and has a high level of attention from the audience. This is a great aspect for mathematics students since more concentration and focus means more knowledge is gained. Many people fail to get the concepts being taught due to lack of proper concentration.

Making of the teaching cards is a simple process. It can be interactively done by the teacher and the learners, whether children or adults. This is a good chance to involve those students who do not like the method. The cards can be molded into desired designs. After making them, they might develop a strong liking for the method, and when associated with mathematics, they will find it really interesting. They could still use them for other purposes other than teaching mathematics alone.

It is cheap to afford and does not require a lot of skill to make. You need locally available materials such as crayons and color makers. These are chosen depending on the type of color preferred. A pair of scissors is used for cutting and shaping the paperboard into the desired designs. They are therefore designed to suit the subject specifically.

There are different types of the technique for the math subject. There are those for teaching multiplication, addition, and subtraction. And there are those for the division and fractional operations. All these are in the form of sets, and each set is suitable for a particular topic. Therefore it makes the teaching of this subject simple and interesting thus improving performance of learners.
