The rigor of the method Boscher while a prominent place to the playful pedagogy.
The happiness of my daughter to learn, to understand the mechanism of additions, to discover that his smile:
4 + 3 = 7; and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7 or 5 + 2 = 7 ... all my children I think it was she who marvels at most numbers, logic , why and how things work ... The other day which was not the big sister to my embarrassment when smart to ask him how the washing machine! Why the drum rotates? What is the engine? What makes the engine run? where does electricity? ....
In short! this book seems for a time anyway quench the thirst of my chip! It is as follows:
- Thick cardboard pages, blank slate so accompanied his erasable marker (very useful)
- The first page is dedicated to the number 2: it offers the child to "board" along the dotted line and the numbers 1 + to achieve the first addition - to do an exercise with ensemble and select trees have 2 apples. Thus, the number 2 and / or the sum 2 is shown in different forms ... First step towards abstraction, essential reasoning when it comes to computing.
- Then come the pages on the sum 3, then 4, then 5, games are available to complete dominoes, drawing objects to complete the additions ...
- Then the first pages of "revisions" entitled "leads up" on these pages all additions are seen previously mixed, the child truly practice ... A true happiness for my darling "that made all only "and then she came to show me" work "... She has the feeling of having" finally homework "because it is understood that" the mother it sucks you do not have to " ... Patience, patience darling ... It may be that one day you find that you are too!
- The continuous book on the same principle for sums that give 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Finally, this book ends with four pages "leads up" where all monies are reviewed, mixed on the same page ... it requires a little more concentration ... But that much. On this point would I can put a little flat, little latter is "early" as its predecessor, for my son still has great provisions ... So I built up over the years a library specifically dedicated to my progeny ... And their self learning (a second job in a way).
I can also assure you as a teacher in upper and as children of mama requiring special attention to "feed" their respective capacities as exercise books in this series are real treasures.
Now we make additions and subtractions with small balls of dough has clay, beads, together with fruit and vegetables from the dinette ... Anyway mom declined method ...
