It is indeed a blessing, now that Nicole has come to enjoy practising maths. Most of the time, when she is given a choice of either reading a book or doing some maths, she would opt for the latter. She did this last night, just before her favourite Little Einsteins at 930pm. :) She can be really sweet and pleasant when in the right mood :)
I think she is reasonably comfortable with additions and subtractions now but she tends to be rather careless! E.g. 3 -1 = 4 :(
The next mission for me is to introduce multiplication but I seriously think that this is going to be 10 times more challenging. It is easy to visualise addition or subtraction but certainly not multiplication! You can add one finger to another but how do you multiply them?? Gosh!
Well, I suppose I need to make myself gainfully employed at home?? :)
