Book excerpt: Math Phonics is a specially designed program for teaching the mastery of basic math concepts and facts. The name, Math Phonics (tm), is used because the rules, patterns and memory techniques developed for this program are similar to those used in language arts. Most of the rules are short and easy to learn. Children are taught to look for patterns and use them. Repetition and drill are the keys. In just minutes a day, your students can master the multiplication facts 0 through 12.
