With the noble aim of providing high quality learning solutions that equip parents and teachers with the tools they need to enhance the educational development and well-being of children throughout the world, Grolier, a company that produces children’s books and educational materials, is set to move in a new direction with the launch of its latest educational tool, Grolier Keymatic.

The latest product from the company that has earned its reputation of being the In-Home Learning Expert, Grolier Keymatic is designed to help increase the mathematical skills of children aged from four upwards. The company, which was established in Malaysia in 1962, has provided a myriad of products through the years that have been designed to help children to read and learn. Grolier Keymatic is its first mathematical learning aid.

My kids also has a products from where they can play while learning how to spell with it. Grolier definitely well known in their education because they have so many satisfied customer. With this new education tools, they probably will gain more new customer soon!

The math aid is the key to successfully learning math facts in a fun and unique way. It is a kinesthetic and visual learning tool that encourages thinking outside of the box in the five Keymatic areas of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and fractions. It is designed to help children learn independently, and to build self-confidence and proficiency through the provision of immediate reinforcement and answers.

The launch of Grolier Keymatic is also timely as it coincides with the Minister of Education Dr. Maszlee Malik’s recent announcement that examinations for primary school students from Year One to Year Three would be scrapped from 2019. In making the announcement, he said that the move had been made to encourage “fun learning” and to make education enjoyable, which Grolier Keymatic is designed to do.

Grolier Keymatic utilizes 3 learning senses : 

Visual

Auditory

Kinesthetic(VAK)

Grolier Keymatic, which comes with the aforementioned five Keymatic sets, also contains four Wipe Clean Work Books, four Wipe Clean Marker Pens and a Parent Guide Book. One of the unique features of the educational tool is that it ensures that children learn basic maths faster with more practice in a fun way. There are many interesting activities in the work books that teachers can use to conduct fun and engaging learning experiences with their students in the classroom. One of the many fun learning examples is conducting a race between students and teachers or their fellow classmates to see who completes the challenge first. 

Through Grolier Keymatic, children will achieve an automatic recall of basic math facts, which in turn will allow them to free up their working memory so that it can be devoted to problem-solving, learning new concepts and higher level math skills.

The mathematical aid is also an ideal supplemental tool for all the three tiers of the Response to Intervention (RTI) model, a process that is used by educators to help students who are struggling with a skill or lesson.

As for my observation, this Keymatic is a fun way to learn math and my son also keep on asking to learn math even in the car. You also can have a great bonding session with your kids and also gain knowledge while doing that. So if you interested with  the products just contact their consultant. They will be ready to help you and just walk in at any nearest big mall, they usually have their booth there.
