In this lesson, Simple subtraction, your child learns how to subtract one quantity from another using both tangible objects and written numerals.
Learning simple subtraction will help to develop the foundation for more advanced math functions and teaches the skill necessary for handling money and organizing budgets. The skills learned in this lesson can be reinforced in many ways throughout your child’s day.
More than/Less than (Basic) teaches your child to compare quantities and determine which number or collection of things is more than, less than, or equal to the other. The skills taught in this lesson help improve your child’s ability to compare quantities and numerals which is a foundational math skill.
Once the lesson has been mastered, look for daily situations to help reinforce what has been learned. For instance, you could try balancing games like “Who Spilled the Beans” or exercises in fairness which you ask your child to make things equal.
In Simple addition, the lesson teaches how to add two quantities and conclude the sum. The teaching methods utilize both tangible objects (e.g., blocks counting bears, marbles) that the child can physically manipulate as well as written numerals.
Activities like adding prices at the grocery store or keeping score during a game are a great way to generalize simple addition. And understanding addition is the fountain to learning skills like handling money and more advanced math skills.
This lesson, Telling time, is focused on teaching how to tell time using an analog clock, and eventual generalization to a digital clock.
