Hi! My name is Jack.
Together we will learn a lot...
...while having fun.
What does it mean to know the multiplication tables?
Jackrun es una Skill de Alexa para aprender las tablas de multiplicar de forma divertida y muy eficaz. Los niños que juegan con Jackrun consiguen aprenderse las tablas de manera más rápida y divertida y suelen aficionarse a las matemáticas.
Considerations on the traditional method
The traditional method consists of teaching the tables in an orderly way, after 5x6=30, perhaps 5x7 is deduced from 30+5, 35.
In addition, the 8x2 and 8x5 (easy) operations and the 8x7 (difficult) are repeated the same times, which causes boredom and waste of time.
The success of JackRun®
Instinctive and voluntary effort
Its success is due to the fact that the student´s memory effort is not forced but rather instinctive and voluntary, due to the psychological "prize-punishment" that she/he receives, depending on whether the kid succeeds or not with each multiplication.
The pace suits the student
In addition, it is personalized: each student receives the "punishment" of having to repeat an operation only when she/he makes a mistake, which motivates her/him to learn it.
Gaming as a teaching resource
Through the fable of the Hare and the Tortoise, the game becomes a didactic instrument that helps to make an active pedagogy as opposed to passive learning.
