Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Math-U-See Gamma Curriculum _http://www.mathusee.com/gamma.html_ (http://www.mathusee.com/gamma.html) for single digit multiplication, which uses manipulatives--very good for visual learners. There is even a Math-U-See Yahoo group. Also Eugenia Francis wrote a math workbook called Teach Your Child the Multiplication Tables: Fast, Fun & Easy with Dazzling Patterns, Grids & Tricks! Her son was having trouble learning his multiplication table so she devised her own program for him and then had it published. She was looking for people to use it, critique it and if you liked it, refer others to it. She sent me a free copy, however, we haven't used it yet because my son's teacher asked me not to start it with him yet because she wants to introduce the material to him and asked me if she could borrow it over the summer to review it. Eugenia's email is _eugeniafrancis@..._ (mailto:eugeniafrancis@...) if you would like to contact her and ask for a free copy. CReece **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi... You can use just about anything. I have used M & Ms, counting bears, pencils, little green army men.....it certainly makes it more interesting. Also, in my experience, kids with autism learn by seeing the card with the answer on it. Only after using those cards for a while would I flip them over and ask the answer. KK multiplication facts I have a son who has PDD,NOS and is starting 3rd grade in the fall. I want to get a head start on learning his multiplication facts. He learned addition and subtraction using touch point math. He seems to like visual methods and hands on methods; however, he HATES flash cards. Do any of you have some suggestions on how to learn these facts creatively? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Do a search for school house rock. When you find their site, go to multiplication and you can see samples of it. I learned my times tables this way- wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back when! Check out 7's as a sample. If he can listen and read what it says as well, he can learn other facts subliminally as well. It's just another fun way to see the times tables on a DVD and listen on a CD. Good luck. My n/t second grader is in Montessori and they learned multiplication this year. She loves multiplication rock- she is a visual and auditory learner. & nbsp; Fran & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; From: mbush74 & lt;cbush71@... & gt; Subject: multiplication facts To: Texas-Autism-Advocacy Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2008, 6:42 PM I have a son who has PDD,NOS and is starting 3rd grade in the fall.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry. This maybe a ridiculous question, what is touch point math? My son is non verbal 6yr w/ Autism and is low functioning. He is visual but is at 18 month cognitive level. Too soon to start any of this? I am interested for future purposes.

Re: After the rally there is much more work to be done Posted by: " Debbie Bridge " debbie.bridge@... debbridge2002 Tue Jun 10, 2008 3:52 pm (PDT) , I am a member of the chapter in Austin. I've been trying to contact you to develop a working relationship. I've only been a member for a short time but from what I see there is a lot of redundancies and I personally feel the organizations within Texas could benefit by utilizing the talents in an effective manner. I am open to ideas to improving the lives of individuals living with autism I have two boys with ASD and nothing would make me happier than to see Texas become one.I hope this email isn't intrusive because that isn't my intention. I am currently working to coordinate with the Legislative Forum in September and would like to collaborate with other organizations within Texas. I spoke with Frye yesterday he was elected to one of the seats on the State Democratic Executive Committee for Democrats with Disabilities he and I plan to meet next week. Again, I feel strongly about unification and utilizing the wealth of skills that are active in each organization.I hope to hear from you as I am looking forward to a new phase for the Texas Autism Society Association.Remember power is in numbers.Debbie Bridgedebbie.bridge@...

HYPERLINK " http://profiles.yahoo.com/lhryden " lhryden Tue Jun 10, 2008 12:04 am (PDT) It was an honor to represent Texas for those of us who were fortunate to be able to attend the 'Green Our Vaccines' rally. I cannot explain the emotions as we were in company of thousands of families across the U.S. who are living in the same world as us, and raising children with autism. Their stories were tragic and heartfelt. Lots of tears were shed, and we certainly showed Washington our faces.There was a long line of parents filtering into the Senate building immediately following the rally. Again, pretty amazing that any of us were able to get away from our parenting, special diets and therapies to mobilize and join forces in DC. We are not a group that has an easy time traveling. Some were brave enough to take their kids.We met with Senator Cornyn's health assistant, and he said that they do not hear much regarding the autism issue from parents. This was disappointing, but at the same time empowering for our small group. They need to hear our stories. I encourage everyone to write a letter to Senators Cornyn and Hutchison about your life with autism.Thanks, " Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine.
