You are funny *and* smart.<br /><br />Our state has added the requirement of dialing the area code, too, and my DD simply cannot remember my cell phone #. Haven't even tried any other numbers. I will try your method.<br /><br />Susan, from MUS yahoo groupLucisMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619129172904595176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181995613012845425.post-22422101659742396822009-06-20T14:24:46.784-05:002009-06-20T14:24:46.784-05:00What a fabulous idea!!

Anna is learning to do additions where the sum is greater than ten by dividing one of the numbers so the other number can be ten. Very confusing, I will give an example:<br /><br />7 + 5 = 7 + (3 + 2) = 10 + 2 = 12.<br /><br />The pirate coins have different pictures on the two sides so when she moves the coins from one set to the other to make a ten, she can still see how many she has moved over, but she doesn't get confused about adding apples to oranges and them still being valid as fruit (like she was with some of the text pictures).<br /><br />Doing things with hands on stuff seems to make the teaching of the concept simpler, no matter what it is.<br /><br />~ SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071911265430519926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181995613012845425.post-7950595791865460722009-05-28T11:12:19.427-05:002009-05-28T11:12:19.427-05:00Yeah for Math-U-See blocks!
