Math Help - addition, more and less concept in numbers

[Guest guest]

My daughter() can do the following with Math. I need help with what else do I

need to do before I start with addition.

1.Recognize all the numbers from 1-100

2.Write them from 1-100

3.rote count to 100 or to a certain number.

4.Count them(till 10 is very good, after that is a little weak)

5.Count out a few( a certain number) out of many, ex: give me 7 crayons.

6.She can do quantity to symbol association.

7. Without counting, looking at a heap of 10 objects Vs a heap of 2 objects she

can say what heap is kore and what heap is less.

She does NOT understand the concept of more and less in numbers, like 7 is more

and 4 is less. Can i start to teach addition with her or she has to know that

what number is more or less? Also, I need ideas as to how to teach both of

these.

1.How do I teach what number is more and hwat number is less.

2. How do I start with simple addition? Do you all suggest a protocol like saxon

math, sindapore math etc or just with simple math addition worksheets?

Sorry for the long post...Thanks a lot for your help.

Siegfried and Therese Engelmann offer some good suggestions for teaching

simple addition and subtraction problems in the book " Give Your Child A

Superior Mind. " They suggest the following counting prerequisites:

Counting to Thirty (I like their suggestion of making it a recital of

the series before bed as a lights out tool. building from 10, then 15,

then 30)

Counting Backward from 10 to 0

Counting every other number (as an intraverbal game; you say one, she

says two, and so forth)

Answering " What comes after one? "

Skipping Pattern: " What comes after one? " " two " What comes after three? "

" four " etc.

Backward Pattern: " What comes after nine? " " ten " What comes after

eight? " " nine " etc.

(Counting by 2s, 3s, etc. would probably help with multiplication

(addition too) down the road)

I also has some good teaching tips on how to introduce addition and the

order in which addition/subtraction problems should be presented.

Hope this is helpful,

Aimee
