How exactly does JG Math work? What is the program like and how do you proceed through all the levels?

I'm interested in the program and curious about how it works as an actual curriculum and since Dr. Miles Jones is here on the message boards, I thought I'd ask him to explain.

Also, if anyone besides DomanMom has done a review of the program, can you please link it.

In answer to your question, I have no idea smile  there is a website, but yes I thought Dr Jones would have answered you...
Perhaps try asking a few more specific questions that other mummies with the program can answer, also use the search feture as I am sure it's been discussed before. Also PM him and ask for a reply  yes

Good idea.

Well, I'm wondering about the progression through the program in its entirety, I'm considering using it for myself and maybe a few kids that I tutor but I'd love to go back and strengthen my own math skills.

Do I need each and every level? Or take a placement for each one?

I can never seem to make the online seminar, but I shouldn't have to just to get an over view of the program, should I?

I'm curious to learn both the Math Matrix and more about the program, unfortunately the program is very hard to find out about. There is only ONE review for it online that I have found, there are no sample papers, no clear scope and sequence, even on the website its hard to tell whats covered where and when. I'm kind of interested in learning the different math system that Dr J teachs and I feel in my gut that it could work, but its a lot to invest without any clear idea about the program...

I've taken the placement test and ofcourse I aced it, but its all simple +-/and*. Why shouldn't I? It doesn't help me understand each level or where I need to begin or if I need to do every step in the whole program or what...

I'm a little lost in understanding what I'm supposed to do...

Mom2bee,

If you want to teach Jones Geniuses I would love to have you on board.  Math Seven is the level we train teachers in.  Once they have mastered the same skills we are asking the students to master they are capable of teaching anything at or below that level except for Matrix Math.  Matrix Math takes a little special training.  However, if you have done it with your child you would be more than competent to teach it to others.  There is only the one assessment regardless of level because we are going to start by cleaning up basic skills and this assessment is amazing at telling us where the student is concerning their math abilities. 

Matrix Math starts off by teaching numeration concepts, digit shapes and quantities using dots placed on each digit in a pattern, thus the name Matrix Math.  The child learns a handful of very basic and crucial skills: how to count forward and backward from 0 to 20, counting the matrix on the digits, memorizing the matrix on the digits, connecting the dots to make the digits, counting forward and backward from each number tween 0 and 20.  Rather quickly they are able to add by counting the dots forward, and subtract by counting the dots backward.  After they have memorized the matrix they no longer need the special worksheets that have the dots on them.  First they work with very large manipulatives then once they get the idea we move to paper.  The first worksheet has 4 problems in addition on one side and 4 problems in subtraction on the other in very large print.  There are five versions of each level of worksheet so they do not simply memorize the answers.  They will then move up to 12 on a page then to 24 then to 50 on a page.  Then they go off the dots.  It works really well and does not take long.  Of course, the younger the child the more time you will typically need to spend with them on it but they will get it.

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] and I will be happy to help get you the training and materials to find out if you want to teach or not.
