REN-BIZ BIG IDEAS

ON MATH

Lose the manual calculation drudgery. Lose the formula memorization. Use modern graphic calculators, modern computers. Tools - that is how we humans evolve.

We got stuck in the 1950 public school mantra. Still are.

Use concept training, seeing equations flow, understanding the science not being buried in the mechanics.

Such joy for kids and adults, to lose 50% of the drudge and eliminate 95% of the frustration.

Move on to business, move on to the modern world.

Keep in mind: the second you entered the business world, you never use high school or university math again.

You will never write an essay again.

Opportunity knocks. Opportunity cost. Where would you see your kids?

We have been there, done that, got the successful graduates.

PFFFT TO PUBLIC SCHOOL MATH, AND PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES MATH. IVORY TOWERS OF PHLEGMATIC DINOS, RINOS, AND RUNNING-BACKWARDS PROGRESSIVES.

At Ren-Biz.com, you can choose traditional math - use your providers, or we will introduce you to well-established providers

or you can use our modernized version of math - WE USE GRAPHIC CALCULATORS AND CONCEPTS, NOT DRUDGERY AND MANUAL CALCULATION.

What follows is a proposal to use modernized math, simply by relying much more on programmable graphic calculators and teaching concepts, not drudgery and manual calculation -

But only if you want it.

SEE BELOW PICTURE OF TI 84. “EXPERT IN YOUR POCKET” “BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY”

Our modernized math uses the same textbooks as the traditional option.

We use special calculators to set up and solve the calculation problems.

Exactly the same as all businesses do, as all adults do.

BUT WE LAYER ON CONCEPTS. WE WILL HAVE TEACHING PODCASTS COMING SOON. BY ME.

Cut out 50% of the learning time, 95% of the frustration, allow many more students to know math, save time to do something else.

PROOF: We are developing videos, showing kids learning grade 1 to grade 6 math in 3 months - and knowing concepts far better. Another show Algebra 2 in 30 days - and knowing concepts much better.

CHALLENGE TO ADULTS: HOW MANY CAN DIVIDE 362.73 by 0.715 manually? How many can solve f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5 for roots, manually? How many can integrate x^2 sin x over the interval (0, 2pi) by hand?

Why would you ever demand kids learn this 1950s crap?

Adults use a calculator, a computer, So should kids. A good graphing calculator, like the ti 84 pictured below, and concepts, can cut out 50% of kids time and 95% of their frustration with math.

Me? I am a Fellow Society of Actuaries, taught a lot of calculus, know more math than 99.925% of the population. I say use calculators. “Beam me up, Scotty” is real in 2025.

Get rid of “Public School 1950 Math”

Parents, grow up, stop beating up your kids with “Public School 1950 Math”. Prehistoric is what it is. Focus on concepts and calculators. C and C.

After all, on the first day you start work in the world of business, you will never use manual calculations again. Ever.

What Kids Age 6 to 100 Want: Kids from age 6 to 100 much prefer to develop a successful business, than learn manual math calculation - which they never use once in the business world.

Opportunity Cost of Teaching Manual Math: We believe students using our methods will be able to acquire math skills quickly, understand the concepts more clearly, and rise to higher levels of math far easier. We open up math skills to a much broader audience. Spending a lot less time to acquire much broader math skills means being able to spend more time on business skills, more time on starting-your-own business. Which avenue does your student want? Making money, or knowing manual math that no-one uses in the business world?

Using Tools: Our math is for the 99% of Americans who need math as a tool to solve real world problems. Humans using tools, high-level stuff. Humans use tools to build on tools, to then build on more tools. Shall we step up from rubbing sticks to make a fire, to just turning the dial to the right to start the oven? Do your kids need to prove a connection between the gas in your tank and the car moving, to drive your car?

First Day of Work: All the olde calculations taught to kids in traditional school are set aside on the first day they are working after graduation: they use calculators and computers, not a manual calculation in sight. Rule #1: If you don’t memorize formulas as an adult, and you don’t do calculations by hand, don’t force your kids to learn it in school. They just have to unlearn that behavior the first day out working.

Parents: can you divide 127.42 by 0.56 by hand? Or take the integral of sin x times x^2 over the interval x = 3 to x = 7? Easy-peasy on a ti 84 graphing calculator or any other advanced calculator or computer. Parents, when was the last time you used a memorized formula? Any proposal for work, any contract, any bill, is calculated and printed by a computer, using inputs and a standardized template. No manual calculations in sight. Develop the template once, then everybody uses it. Don’t memorize formulas, ever.

Public schools are dropping math performance standards. The existing standards are low. Students are failing even these reduced standards in droves. Needlessly. Public schools are using manual calculations, and denying programmable calculators, to keep students away from math success.

Ren-Biz.com concepts will dramatically increase those performance results, AND increase the performance standards, by training kids on a modern tool, a ti 84 calculator (or any other programmable calculator).

Shown below is a programmable calculator - many available, this is a ti 84. “Expert in your pocket”

Age 6 to 100. Spend some hours on short training tutorials. Challenge your parents also. A lifelong power for you.
