Mitchell Mark is the founder of Show-You-Know.  He was a Third Grade Teacher.  He has a post-graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  Mitch’s son Jonathan, is a tenured professor at USC.  His daughter Sarah, is a yoga teacher.  She developed a remarkable instructional yoga mat.

After more than 40 years of creating ways for children to build math fluency, Mitch had breakthrough.  He realized that children who were confident and liked math were far more successful than children who were anxious about math.

He developed a practice method, How-You-Learn, designed to grow confidence and reduce anxiety.  

Show-You-Know is a way for children to practice facts at home, on their own.

When they have learned a set of facts, they show a parent (Show-They-Know).

This takes about 20 seconds.

Children use two study tools to learn their facts.

Instructional flashcards help children relate facts to things in their lives like food, drink, money, sports, and common items around the house.

A math facts app helps children stop counting, and focus on the facts they need to practice most.  The app also gives them a way to Show-They-Know.

One of the keys to this approach is that practice takes place at home.

Children learn study skills, and build an effective practice routine.

This takes no class time.  Teachers have no preparation, and no papers to correct.

Children take tests without fear of failure.  

If they do not get 100%, they practice and try again.

Parents play an important role, yet it only takes minutes a week.

Why are we offering the app and flashcards free of charge?

We want to prove that this approach works, and improve every aspect.

After we prove its effectiveness, we will charge a small fee for the app.
