The Mission of IDG Education Solutions is to create educational programs and tools that foster Professor Allen's vision for the elimination of Math phobia and Math avoidance. Through the development and use of Free Your Mathematical Mind, an endless number of teaching staff and adult students can have access to fundamental knowledge training needed to thrive.
Free Your Mathematical Mind is a non-traditional approach to adult math education. Developed with a non-threatening and conversational approach, it is for adults who struggle with math or those who are generally math-phobic.
Our goal is to eliminate the common fear many adults have about the subject of mathematics and strengthen general math confidence by providing them with a toolset to organize and effectively use their mathematical knowledge.
Professor Allen has developed a model based upon the constructivist cognitive theory of inquiry teaching. Using a question/answer, interactive video training approach, critical thinking is exercised and students become more attentive and involved.
“Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.”

The Free Your Mathematical Mind program is based on a cognitive inquiry approach with leads students to construct their own learnings. This approach is based on the notion that knowledge is gained from experiences and the learner takes an active role in the learning process.
