Alberts Insomnia - Mathinator Homeschool Kit

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE 28/01/25

We are experiencing an influx of late orders. We understand school starts that today. If you placed your order between Thursday and Midday Saturday, and haven't received a message to say that your order is ready, we are working as hard as we can to get your order ready today.

New orders placed from Midday Saturday onwards will be added to the queue and picked in order of receival. We will do our very best to get your order ready as soon as we can, however there may be a wait of 2 to 3 days. If you choose to order we will send you a processing message then a second message that states 'order is ready' once it's ready for pickup. .

Please be patient with our staff. We had 30 staff working over the back-to-school period to get orders ready and we are really proud of what they achieved. Some of them have now returned to school and university so we have a much smaller staff onboard today. If an item on your order is out of stock, it will be backordered for you and noted on the paperwork supplied with your order.

Open Monday Tuesday Friday from 8am-4pm. Open Wednesday Thursday from 8am-5pm.Open Saturday from 8am - 12pm closing strictly at midday.

Albert's Insomnia is a mental math game using math operations, which can be differentiated for all grades, inclusive of K-5, 6-8 and even high school level students (when factorials and exponents are incorporated into the game).

Because Albert*s Insomnia is easily differentiated, it provides the teacher or parent with flexibility to adjust the game to each student's level.

A teacher can easily raise or lower the ability level of the game by choosing different numbers with which the student(s) can work.

It allows for individual use, small group and whole class learning experiences.

The game can teach students in small groups and as a whole class to work collaboratively and cooperatively, encouraging team work within the classroom. Because Albert's Insomnia is a mental math game, it gives students the opportunity to think and solve equations in order to achieve success in the game.

Albert's Insomnia is not a game where students methodically repeat drills in order to learn their math facts. Students naturally acquire this ability through the different processes needed in order to complete the solutions. Students are able to first visualize the numerical operation by the number on the face of the card, then by referring to the different operation signs (add, subtract, multiply, divide).

The game can also allow for tactile bodily/kinesthetic engagement as students move the cards or touch the cards while working through their solutions.

Students inherently begin to acquire the knowledge of multiplication and division through their repetitive use of the numbers to consecutively count the sheep in the game.

When students achieve a solution, they reinforce their newly acquired skills and the other students participating in the game also hear the repetition of the mathematical equation, which provides reinforcement of the necessary math skills needed for students to be successful in math.
