OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, September 3, 2009 · 24 Discover the genius within your child with UCMAS Mental Math! Whether you're looking to further challenge your child or prepare your youngster for school or simply improve your child's math grades, our UCMAS Mental Math TM program is designed to meet your needs. Described as "Mental Aerobics," the UCMAS Mental Math TM program stimulates brain development in kids aged 4 to 13 by teaching them to perform mental calculations quickly and accurately, in a way that kids find engaging and fun. The UCMAS Mental Math TM program is based on the ancient Abacus tool that provides countable beads for children to visualize numbers while performing mental calculations. This crucial concept of visualization or thinking in pictures leverages the right brain which is eight times faster than the left brain and leads to dramatically higher levels of speed, efficiency and accuracy. By activating both sides of a child's brain through the UCMAS training, children can achieve calculation speeds previously only attainable by math geniuses! The UCMAS program is much more than math! Developing an astonishing calculation speed is actually the end result of increasing the "brain fitness" of essential cognitive skills that support the overall learning success. As a result, children develop improved memory, focus and visualization that lead to enhanced problem solving, self-confidence, proficiency in Math and overall academic achievements. "As a teacher, I have been fascinated by this program and it's impact on kids," says UCMAS Mental Math director and teacher, Hycinth Gomez. "Watching children in the program perform mental math calculations at lightening speed is awe-inspiring. That is why I am excited to be bringing the UCMAS Mental Math TM program to Oakville." You are invited to a free information session and a `live' demo of the UCMAS Mental Math program at the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre on Saturday September 5th from 11:00 am to noon. For more information about the information session and the program located at 1395 Abbeywood Dr., Unit 2 in Oakville, contact Hycinth Gomez at 905815-0924, 416-457-9347, email hycinth.gomez@thinkingexpanded.com or visit www.ucmas.ca.
