Q. Where did you guys come from?
A. Numberock is a project that I, Mr. Hehn, began as a 5th Grade math teacher of 7 years. It came together after years of experimenting with my lessons trying to figure out the best way to help my students retain the math concepts they were learning.

Q. Does Numberock drive real results in the classroom?
A. I knew I found the secret sauce when not only were my students retaining the concepts longer, they were singing the songs outside of the classroom during recess and at home with their parents during dinnertime. The songs were so catchy, my students couldn't get the math songs out of their head!

During testing, I often found my students humming the melodies in order to jostle their memory of a rule or problem solving process. As we've all experienced, there is something about the power of music that allows us to retain information easier and for longer periods of time. Without getting into the finer details of multi-sensory learning and how it often helps the students who most need the help, the power of a catchy song is hard to deny.

1. Number Notes | Highly-visual math worksheets that integrate drawing and creative processes that make problem-solving and note-taking way more fun.

Research has shown that resources like these worksheets help students to integrate their artistic side with the mathematical side of their brain and as a result aides with long-term memory retention.

Our own research has shown us that teachers who try these activities love them! It seems to be a natural extension beyond song and video and into additional visual learning tools that when used in concert with our videos, cater to the many different types of learners that in your classroom - especially those non-mathy types.
