Using Chess To Teach Maths
In Elementary Schools

by Graham Wadden - Editor

Frank Ho, a certified Maths teach (based in Canada) has developed an interesting concept of teaching maths to primary/elementary school by incorporating Chess into his workbooks.

It kind of supports what David MacEnulty was alluding to in his video on the Benefits of Chess, which you can see here: Kids Chess (Think-Tank) - 2. Chess In Schools.

Our spies on the web first discovered this concept at the website: Loveash.cc ... The actual article can be found here:

Have gander at that page, then come back and tell us what you think of Frank's concept (just add a comment beneath this post! Simples).
