I have taught students from grade 1 to grade 12 since I opened the Vancouver Ho Math Chess Learning Centre in 1995. I have personally witnessed on how some students suffered because they could not master some very basic computational skills. I do not want to create a workbook, which is about practice, practice, and more practice of computational skills. This has motivated me to create a workbook that would be very different from the conventional ones in terms of the way the questions are presented to the students. I wanted students to learn basic computation skills by using the carefully designed worksheets so that students can master basic computation skills in an intuitive way. These worksheets were being designed while I actually watched student's work and modified accordingly to their responses.

This has motivated me to create a workbook that would be very different from the conventional ones in terms of the way the questions are presented to the students. I wanted students to learn basic computation skills by using the carefully designed worksheets so that students can master basic computation skills in an intuitive way. These worksheets were being designed while I actually watched student's work and modified accordingly to their responses. I had an idea to create a computational workbook, which integrates chess knowledge, puzzles, and math in such a way that students could learn how to transfer abstract symbols into numerical values and then calculating the results by using puzzles-like problems. This idea may sound very simple but the result is much more profound - not only students learn to do math in multi-step, they also learn how to process information by converting abstract symbols into numerical values, which is important in learning critical thinking skill.One very noticeable computation format in Ho Math Chess math workbooks is the way computation directions are presented - it is no longer just a linear fashion; instead, students work on computations in all kinds of directions: top down, bottom up, left to eight, right to left, diagonally, and even circular motion. For example, the multiplication workbook computation format is designed in such a way that it takes the boredom out by using the format of multi-direction computation and multi-concept learning. Students could be introduced division computation procedure while working on multiplication and even equivalent fractions but without realizing that they are actually working on advanced math concepts and mechanic computation procedure beyond their grade level. One other example is that the factoring procedure is introduced while students are working on multiplication. These many embedded computational procedures included in the elementary level of math workbook will benefit students when they go to higher grades.

People were also wondered how Ho Math Chess is different from other similar learning centres. Many readers do not have an idea of 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 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 feedback during my writing many workbooks. 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 were 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 WorksheetsThis 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 of the students to write the problems only imprints more impression on the number of facts. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3wAMqo4qUEWhat is an 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 worksheet 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 that 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

What's wrong with the traditional drill computation? From tutoring point of view, there is nothing wrong to give them to children for practice on fluency and grasp of basics. However, there is something wrong form children's point of view that is they are boring, dull and not fun. Why do children feel that way? Well, the time has changed but the format of traditional computation worksheets has not caught up with the pace of the society.The future belongs to a generation who understands how to process information and the information might include digits, bytes, numbers, graphics, images, languages, symbols, equations etc. Children today might chat with others on the internet while downloading or uploading files and viewing movie clips at the same time. Multi-tasking and the multi-way of processing information seem to have come as second nature to children, but is our computation format reflecting the way that children are living today? Certainly not, this is one reason why children feel so bored and lost interest to continue to work on the same "old" style of computation worksheets.These simple monotonic basic number facts computation worksheets are no longer reflecting the real world which the young generation is facing today or will be living in the future. The computing world children are facing today is much like a rich tapestry, where diversified fabrics and colours are integrated. Children today are absorbing not just numbers but an array of information like image, sound, music, symbols, spatial information, or even abstract ideas all bundled together and delivered through many types of media. Children today are not happy just working on pure number drill without any other stimulus or motivator. After realizing the importance of having fun while learning, Ho Math Chess has been embarked on an important teaching philosophy that is to integrate chess and puzzles into math worksheets so that children can learn math while having fun.Ho Math Chess has created a series of special printable workbooks to have a synergetic effect by integrating or converging arithmetic basic number facts, chess, mazes, and information processing all in one worksheet.This is accomplished through Ho Math Chess own trademarked proprietary technologies such as Symbolic Chess Language (SCL), Frankho Puzzle, Frankho Maze, and the Ho Math Chess training set.With this invention of math, chess, and puzzles integrated worksheets, a child is acting as a data warehouse manager and sorts, matches, or classifies data in an information environment which simulates a cell phone screen using an incredible variety of learning concepts namely chess, symbols, spatial relation, logic, comparison, tables, patterns, mazes, computing etc. by networking all kinds of information together. The learning process is much like to search for information using the internet. Only when children have successfully followed instructions using SCL and, as a result, created a question themselves, can a solution be found at last.Ho Math Chess workbook is a multi-function workbook, it trains children not only their basic computing ability but also trains them to be an astute data warehouse manager or an excellent data miner by developing their problem-solving ability and critical thinking skills.
