Writing Numbers | Calculations for Kids | Different Methods to Add New Skills | Methods for Kids

--------

Writing numbers and doing the calculations could happen through several ways, there is the practical, the visual, the magnetic numbers, the number line, the number cards and the white board. Every single one of these methods add a new skill to the child and at the end makes him/her more confident.

The second method is the visual; the visual is all about actually seeing the objects that the kids will work on, either adding or subtracting, and solving the equation according to them. The visual is all about the pictures, so the kids could draw the shapes themselves to solve the problem, if it is about subtraction, they could cross the number that should be taken away from the drawn objects in order to come out eventually with the final answer. And again, after solving the problem in the method needed, the parent should talk with the child about writing it all down in numbers.

The number cards technique depends on using the cards with the written numbers on them to make the equation and to solve it. It could also be more fun if the mathematical signs are also done with the card paper so that the child could play around, make sure the parent did not do any mistakes, and so on.

The last mathematical method we have here is the whiteboard and this is actually one of the most basic because the parent could write any equation on it and the child could easily answer with writing down the number, and the kid could be also the one writing the whole equation according to what the parent has asked him/her to do.

Math could always be fun according to how it is taught and what the parents are actually doing to make it more interactive and challenging. Instead of going the ordinary way and using the pen and the paper to teach the child how to add or how to subtract, parents could actually depend on other fun tools and games to make it more exciting, such as the Lego blocks, the magnetic numbers, the whiteboard, the number cards, and those other methods that depend on drawing and jumping on the number line.
