Employing a teaching philosophy and vision with chess as a teaching tool, Ho Math and Chess gets children interested in learning math. How are chess and math related? Ho Math and Chess has been embarking on this intriguing quest since 1995 and as a result, created integrated world's first commercially available math and chess workbooks. The most surprising finding was that some math concepts used in playing chess are not taught during the first few years of schooling (Visit www.mathandchess.com for free articles: Comparing BC math curriculum and chess for details).
Ho Math and Chess is the pioneer and world leader in integrating math and chess teaching, with in-depth research and worldwide franchisees to serve you.
Its unique teaching method integrates math and chess in such a way that students learn to visualize and analyze integrated math and chess problems. The analyzed information is then converted into meaningful numerical values.
These integrated workbooks have been tested and proven to improve visualization, spatial relationships and critical thinking skills, in addition to fundamental computational skills. Published research papers written by Frank Ho can be found at www.mathandchess.com.
The Ho Math and Chess program is approved by the USA Illinois state of Education Board as a Supplemental Education Program.
