Many people were curious about how I created so many unique workbooks. People were also wondered how Ho Math Chess is different from other similar learning centres. Many readers do not have an idea on how these puzzles were placed in each of our workbooks. When we first created these puzzles, we did not have a blueprint to follow because they did not exist. Many parents do not know how to teach their children with our workbooks because they themselves had never seen this kind of arithmetic worksheets before. So, I decided to write a book to address the above two problems, one is to describe how I created worksheets in general, and the other is to show how and why Ho Math Chess sets itself apart from others. I would like to thank my students who had given us feedbacks during my writing many workbooks. As a matter fact I wrote a few worksheets for some of my students and tried on them and if they did not work out effectively, then I revised. Without these students' input, some of my workbooks would not have been materialized. I have produced unedited videos to talk about my worksheets and explained about their formatting. Watch my videos using the following links. They are very educational and one-of-a-kind. Frank Ho presents math, chess, and puzzles integrated Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheet. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td3SKp7cukA&t=262s Published on Jun 14, 2017 Frank walks the viewer through his unique and world's first math, chess, and puzzles integrated worksheet. No questions are shown on the sheet, only mini-chessboard, puzzle table, and his invented flat chess Geometry Chess Symbols which are being used as a set of the command language. Students follow identified square where and use chess moves to reach a puzzle table (information retrieval like cloud storage) to fetch its corresponding data. The fetched data is linked with the previously identified mini-chessboard to complete the answer. The whole process takes the boredom and mundane routine computation procedure out of the problem and replaces it with puzzle-like fun. Ho Math Chess Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheets This is the future style of computation problems that is students not only will be trained on computation to find answers they also are asked to use their thinking skills to figure out the problems by going through visualization, orientation, corresponding, analyzing, synthesizing, and executing abstract commanding symbols. The enforcement for the students to write the problems only imprints more impression on the number facts. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3wAMqo4qUE What is Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheet? The intelligent Arithmetic worksheet allows students to work on computations but figures out the answers like they are working on word problems. I have dreamed about how can I can create a type of computation worksheets which are disruptively different from the traditionally straightforward type of computational worksheets? Not only they have to be fun, intriguing and entertaining they also must be effective in learning results. This example is one of many examples which I created and collected them in my workbook called Ultimate Math Contest Preparation, Problem Solving Strategies, and Math IQ Puzzles Grade 1 and 2 from pages 28 to 74. The Intelligent Arithmetic Worksheets take the exploratory approach which trains a student to use more of his or her brain and, yet the problem is not difficult, so an average student can solve them with fun. I also created a video which introduces my math, chess, and puzzles combined idea as follows: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td3SKp7cukA

Introducing Ho Math Chess Basic Number Facts worksheets Frank Ho Teaching Method The basic number facts are being taught at Ho Math Chess Learning Centre using a method called Frank Ho Teaching Method, which uses math, chess, and puzzles integrated worksheets to get children interested in math. This method also trains children's critical thinking skills. At the same time, they work on foundation math knowledge. Traditionally math worksheets creators seem always to think that numbers worksheets are just for one purpose that is to make students practice on computations. So, to work on traditional vertical columns of additions, subtractions, multiplications, or divisions would be rote learning. If we continue to use the same way of producing the conventional basic number facts worksheets, then this kind of view would be somewhat right because students are trained in just one track of mind. They seem to have trouble figuring out calculation questions using the backwards method. Our teaching method is to fundamentally change the way and structure that the basic number facts worksheets have been presented to primary students so to allow students not only lay their basic foundation but also to get them engaged in more exploratory dialogue with their teachers to discover the strategies used in conducting computations, for example, the strategy used in addition such as adding 1, 2, 3; adding 10 or doubling etc. These strategies offer systematic, organized, logical thinking to students so they would be encouraged to think more about the relationships between digits and numbers, instead of just relying on memorization to get automatic answers. Students using our basic number facts worksheets would get some benefits of critical thinking skills as if they were working on open-end word problems. This new way of teaching number facts by creating integrated math, chess and puzzles basic number facts worksheets are profoundly different from the traditional worksheets. Why are Ho Math Chess Basic Number Facts workbooks unique? This is one of a series of basic number facts computation workbooks using math-chess-puzzles integrated methodology from preschool to elementary school. Frank Ho and Amanda Ho produce these proprietary and differential products. Frank founded Ho Math Chess Learning Centre in 1995 in Vancouver, Canada. He invented and trademarked the Geometry Chess Symbols, which are the core technology of producing the math and chess connected workbooks. Our math and chess integrated day schools or after-school learning centres can use workbooks (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, problem-solving, math contests, Frank Ho Math and Chess Puzzles, and Frank Ho Chess Mazes etc.) as a complete set of teaching number facts to supplement school's math teaching. These workbooks have been used and evolved at Ho Math Chess headquarters since 1995. We believe the way our integrated workbooks presented have revolutionized the style of traditional math worksheets.

What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? This groundbreaking work provides readers with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others. Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything. • Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice. • Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development. • Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students. These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished. Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.

Combining concepts from topology and algorithms, this book delivers what its title promises: an introduction to the field of computational topology. Starting with motivating problems in both mathematics and computer science and building up from classic topics in geometric and algebraic topology, the third part of the text advances to persistent homology. This point of view is critically important in turning a mostly theoretical field of mathematics into one that is relevant to a multitude of disciplines in the sciences and engineering. The main approach is the discovery of topology through algorithms. The book is ideal for teaching a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in computational topology, as it develops all the background of both the mathematical and algorithmic aspects of the subject from first principles. Thus the text could serve equally well in a course taught in a mathematics department or computer science department.
