Bed Time is Math Time!
Would you believe there is a scientific connection between bedtime and math?
Well, a group of researchers studied the effects of including some form of math during bedtime stories and the outcome is encouraging.
An app called Bed Time Math was used in the study and it showed math skills could be honed by using it.
The app makes solving math problems fun because it’s incorporated into bedtime stories instead of the usual way math is taught.
The value of doing this wasn’t only if it was done every night as a once a week use of the approach had measurable results.
At first, I was skeptical of a study that specifically promoted an app, but since it’s free, it’s worth trying if you have children that don’t do well in math.
It’s also a more comfortable way for mom and dad that feel math-challenged themselves to present the lessons that don’t feel like a lesson on a device that the kids love using.
If all this sounds like a worthwhile approach, check out more info or download the app for some fun family math at: http://bedtimemath.org/bedtimemath-app
