Counting Isn't an Inherent Concept
We know that if you start counting at one object the number of thing is the same as if you start with something different - but kids don't. Here are some thoughts on counting that can put you in a different mindset when dealing with children and counting.
Teaching Subtraction Using a Balance
Balances are normally used for science stuff. Here's how to teach subtraction using a balance.
Counting with Ordinal Numbers
Ordinal numbers are "1st, 2nd, 3rd, ..." but we need these to count items to arrived at the final cardinal numbers. All this fancy math talk - why not make it fun with some colorful bugs!
How to Train the Brain to Understand the Transitive Property
Using Discovery Toys' Think-It-Through tiles you can train the brain for the Transitive Property.
