After getting Nicole interested in using my laptop to play some kiddie math games, she is now much more adept in doing some basic maths. I taught her 3 basic steps in tackling additions.1) if the numbers > 10, then
2) transform the equation to a vertical format, then
3) cover the left hand columns, and start adding
I wrote the equation (14 + 28) and she did the transformation on her own including drawing that big fat arrow :)
The above self invented steps seem to work. Try it out on your kids too. Happy coaching!
