Advantages Of Using Math Flashcards For Learning Purposes

By Betty Murray


Flashcards are learning toys that make learning enjoyable and interesting. When used in teaching and the results prove to be a success, the learners get more motivation. They, therefore, anticipate learning more and getting more success in the mathematics. Many learners take mathematics as a hard subject, but math flashcards can be a solution to this problem.

After it is introduced to a certain group of learners, not all of them might adapt faster to it. Other might show signs of no interest, but obviously, the majority will embrace it due to its irresistible nature. It is the duty of the teacher to make almost all of them have a liking for the teaching technique. This should be a gradual process, and as the others continue learning by it, the teacher should continue guiding and encouraging those who are slow to adapt.

Some learners can do well by their effort or by other methods other than the flashing technique. Naturally, there are quick and slow learners in every class. So the teacher should understand the students well enough to know where the weak point of each student lie. The cards could serve well across the board, involving both the slow and fast learners.

This is an interactive method, and at large it could involve both children and adult learners. It improves on the retention ability of information by the learners. Most stakeholders find this method of teaching very effective. The students grasp math techniques fast, direct and less strenuous. Their colorful nature makes them attractive, and learners remember the technique in association to the colors.

Other learners are simply attracted to the way the flashing is done. They keep alert and tend to concentrate, thus increasing their probability of grasping lots of information. The method has a lot of repetition, and this enhances the memory of the learners making them gain lots of knowledge.

The flashcards are easy to make. They are made from cheap materials most of which are locally available. Some materials for purchase is solely depended on the number of cards that are needed. Therefore the cards can be made as many as possible enough to cover almost most of the concepts the teacher might need to teach. The cards are highly versatile, meaning they can be used for other subjects too other than mathematics.

Learners can be involved in the making process. This makes them accustomed and creates passion among them. The materials include color markers, paper boards and pairs of scissors. The process is simple, and even the slow learners will gain more confidence by doing this, and when it comes to learning using the same cards, their morale will have been boosted.

There are different types of the technique for the math subject. There are those for teaching multiplication, addition, and subtraction. And there are those for the division and fractional operations. All these are in the form of sets, and each set is suitable for a particular topic. Therefore it makes the teaching of this subject simple and interesting thus improving performance of learners.
