Dear Parent/Educator,

Have you wondered if your 5-12 year old child is really getting his or her math? Are you worried that your children may be missing important math concepts that will plague them the rest of their school and adult years?

Now you can find out - and get started fixing all the holes in your child's math foundation, efficiently and effectively.

At ShillerMath, we don't know what holes a 5-12 year old has from second grade or first grade or even Kindergarten or pre-K. So what we've done is to prepare a battery of comprehensive diagnostic tests (and answer keys) that cover all important math concepts and facts through the 6th grade.

Tests and answer keys are downloadable in PDF format. Complete instructions are provided for the parent; you just say what's in quotes and follow the instructions. When the child has completed a test, just download the answer key. You may grade the test together, and when you discover a question answered incorrectly, you've just uncovered a hole in the child's math foundation. Here's the best part: The answer key then tells you exactly which activity (or activities) to do to help the child fill that hole. (Click here for an example.)

Our recommendation is for all children (including 10-12 year olds as well as the 5-7 year olds) to start with the very first diagnostic test in Kit I. The concept is, if there are any basic math foundation holes, let's discover them now. If the material is too easy, the child can do the test in 1-2 minutes, gains self-confidence, and moves quickly on to the next test.

But if just one question is answered incorrectly you have identified a crucial hole in that child's math foundation that needs to be filled now, which is easily and efficiently accomplished by doing the activity or activities for that question as shown in the answer key. Then to be sure, just redo the missed test question(s).

This individualized approach results in greater self-confidence and faster progress for the child and elimination in boredom for both parent and child; a wonderful recipe for math success!

Let's review the steps to math success!
 1. Download and administer the first activity test
 2. Grade it. The answer tells you which activity(ies) to download.
 3. Download those activity(ies) and do them with your child
 4. Redo the missed test questions
 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for test #2 and so on until your child has achieved math success!

Are you ready for math success?

Our mission is for children to learn and enjoy math. We hope you will join us!

Sincerely,
Larry Shiller
