Re: Mental Maths
What is wrong with this approach Afia? The problem is with our mental programing of how kids should learn certain things, not with her. I am actually very happy that your daughter’s concept is clear about how to add (whether using fingers to count or use a paper and pencil). Once the concept is clear, she can add 9+4 or 98255+34229. Please dont force her to jump to mental math. There is no pride in that (or usefulness of that in real life). Let her do things right, than do do them quick.
