Gentle Revolution and Glenn Doman's method

[Ayesha Nicole]

Dear Martina,

Thanks.  I believe I figured it out because I cannot remember why I PM you.   

And I did receive your PM and when I tried to reply on numerous occassions, there was a message that your inbox is full since that date until now.  I will try again in a day or so.  Until then, take care.

Thanks again.
Ayesha

Thanks for such a valuable information. Had i not joined the LR/Forum i would have missed lot.

Thanks to all the members of LR.

Can we start off with any words in step one? What I mean is, do they have to be household objects or 'self' words. My daughter is interested in things like 'moon', 'kite', 'banana'?

Hi

I have a question regarding this:

"Remove one word from each set that has already been taught for 5 days and replace the word with a new one in each set. (it is good to write a date when you added the word so you know well which is the oldest one to retire)."

What do I do when there are no more cards to add in a given set? If I added the last new card today and retired the oldest card, what should I do tomorrow when I don't have any new card to add? Do I just continue retiring old cards until there are no more cards to show. This way I will have just 4 cards in this set to show tomorrow, 3 the day after and so on. Or am I missing something very trivial?

Please help.
Thank you.

When I started with my daughter I really didn't know about GD method, so I started with categories like animals, fruits, vegetables, etc... I decided to follow GD mehod so I started all over again just so I have kind of a plan (organization wise was better for me). I was all over!  However, that was my personal choice. I think that different words would not hurt your child, everything is knowledge . Maybe you could try to follow GD word suggestions and complement them with the words that your daughter likes, so she can learn all kinds of words. Just a suggestion   

Lucky,

The retiring of the words can get complicated. Ayesha Nichole created this spreedsheet to help with this system. With another member we formulated it so it is easy to manage. I personally decided to do categories.

Hopefully it helps you

hi for teaching math to 2 years old i need helpplz
first i should start from step one:dots but how exactly ?dots and say what number it s for(add a sound to tell the number without showing it)?
then at day17 start with addition?dots then slide for the symbols like(,+)then dot then the(=) then answer which is dots.is this right??until step 3 then start with showing (1234556678etc)then addition with 12348 etc without need for dot?//
please help i attach i  2 files which is the right one to start for 2 years old child using doman

Hi ketty,

This is how I went about my 2 yr old.  I started off Step 1 with dots using dots 1-100 ppt.  I would make a custom show in powerpoint with 1 to 5 slides and name it Day 1 and so on.  You can add sound files to this slides.  Try this site for sound files.
http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php

I had uploaded the schedule I followed in My doman math schedule thread.  I think you might have gone through it.  Arrange the slides in such a way that when dots are shown, the voice over also runs along.  I used to tell the number as the slides move on.  But with my son, I couldn't get further than 25 dots.  So I tried to use different icons for addition.  I have attached one I made.  I have come across posts telling that you need to show only slides and there is no need for "plus" and "equals" signs, but I used it so that he gets an idea of whats going on.  As the numbers were getting bigger, it was getting difficult to keep the exact number of icons on the slides, so I shifted to LM.

When you are finished with division, start three step equations with one function like 1+3+5 for a week and proceed to three step equations with different functions like 1+3-5 for a week, follow it with multi-step equations 1*5+3-2/3 for a week.  Proceed to greater than less than, equality and inequality, fractions, sequences, numbers, and so on.

As for using ppts, I would suggest you go through the number of dots before you begin as some slides have one dot extra in some ppts.

Warm wishes,
anjie

Describing the steps in Math Dot program, the site Child and Me has the following on step 2
# Second Step - Equations
Start after you've showed first 20 cards for First Step.
Don't test, continue introducing new quantities, i.e. dot cards, (until you reach 100), and add sessions with simple equations: 2+2=4, 5+11=16. Avoid predictable equations: 1+2=3; 1+3=4; 1+4=5. After two weeks of different addition equations, do subtractions, followed by multiplication and division (at two week intervals of 3 sessions of equations per day). (Bold by me)

how can we optimized LM tables (is correct some kind of order even using random function) and Doman's math (which is without any order)? is this correct?

[ed]

I highly recommend Glenn Doman's book "HOW TO MULTIPLY YOUR BABY'S INTELIGENCE". It includes information from his other three books (How to teach your baby to read, How to teach your baby math and How to teach your baby encyclopedic knowledge).

I hope that this summary would help you to start or make better any teaching sessions with your children. Just do not forget to do it with LOVE and enthusiasm!! 

and what with old edition of Gentle Revolution? Where Doman says to begin with one word: mum (60x15 cm), next day dad and after that with some words like hand, head etc., one a day for begin?

Thanx all who summarise, but just wan to clarify, am i supposed to show set 1 & set 2 at the same sessions or separately of at least 30mins interval? As in should there be 3 sessions of set 1 & set 2 or 6 sessions or set 1, set 2, set 1, set 2, set 1, set 2?

"First Step - Quantity Recognition
Teaching your child to to perceive actual numbers, which are true value of numerals - 5 dot cards 1-100. 2 sets of 5 cards each, three times a day each set."

OR

"The first day:Begin with dot cards 1-5 and show it to your child three times first day
     The second day: Add dot cards 6-10 and show both categories of 5 cards three times a day = 6 daily sessions”
Am i supposed to retire the cards after 1 day or after 6 days?


“Continue to show two sets of five cards, each set three times a day, total of six math sessions spread out during the day, equaling a few minutes in all.
After second day alway mix the sets up. Constant mixing and reshuffling will keep the sessions new and exciting.
     On the sixth day and later add 2 new cards daily and put away 2 old cards daily. This is how you retire cards: Every day remove the two lowest numbers from the ten cards you have been teaching for five days.
You may feel that the baby needs new material more quickly, then you should retire three cards daily and add theree new once. Or even four.”

You can organize the sessions the best way it suits you. This program it is flexible based on your child. Most of the time I do set 1 and 2 together three times a day. It is so quick that I don't think it matters you show them together because your baby doesn't have time to get bored. What is important is to TRY to show each set 3 times in a day.

"The first day:Begin with dot cards 1-5 and show it to your child three times first day
     The second day: Add dot cards 6-10 and show both categories of 5 cards three times a day = 6 daily sessions”

You are supposed to retire the cards  on the 6th day. Since sometimes for different circumstances we don't go through the sets the 3 times in a day, I just retire cards after they have been seen 25 times total.

Hope I was clear enough

Can anyone tell me what the 10 DIVISIONS are that Doman Recommends all of our categories fall under when making cards?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi tigerpuff,

Are you talking about for EK? if so they are - History, Music, Visual Arts, Literature, Mathematics, Life Sciences, Human Anatomy, Geography, Language, General Science.

Hope that helps
