Triangle Math Cards, Addition and Substraction, Multiplication and Division

Too often students are told that they need to work harder to learn.  Too often the parent, teacher or tutor needs to find a different way to teach students.  This learning tool is an example of a different way to teach.
When working with a picture learner, regular flash cards do not work.  Each side of the card is a different picture to a picture learner.  There is no connection between the sides.
The triangle math cards make one picture for the learner.  This picture has all the math family or math problems for those three  numbers in the same picture.  Once the learner learns this card and I cover one number the learner can still see the number in his or her mind.  One child needed a plus added between the 4's and a minus sign between the 4 and 8 to complete her picture.
There are also multiply and division cards available at Mardels and other learning and bookstore shops.
Instead of a set of addition cards and a different set of substraction cards, you need only one set of cards to teach addition and substraction.  The same is true for multiplication and division. These cards are about 10 dollars a set.
