Guest guest Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi Tracey Thankyou, it's the way our ABA supervisor taught me to do it, we started off with lotto counters under each number then once Harry understood that we moved on to just having the lotto counters under the second number and counting on from the first then eventually we moved onto the tallys, Harry is a quick learner plus obviously homeschooling i have more time to give him and he literally moved forward onto the next stage each week. I am now teaching subtraction, we started off with a pile of lotto counters and a bowl and said take away 2 etc and did this hand over hand until he grasped the idea, which again didnt take long, we are now doing sums with lotto counters under the first number then taking the amount of the second number away from them, he is doing so well, home education has been so successful for him, long many it continue. x To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: thelifechangers@...Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 16:47:33 +0100Subject: Re: Harry doing his sums This is fantastic .. and interesting to watch as it uses the same approach which is used for dyslexia too...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 This is the way I was taught maths in Africa.. and if there were even one grain on intelligence in any schools in this country, all introductions to maths would be taught this way as it established the number with the symbol. I really believe that most of the dyscalculia could be overcome if numbers and maths and arithmetic was taught as a progressive process... What you have discribed is exactly what is suggested in book the gift of learning and the gift of Dyslexia.. He goes one step further in that the starting point is getting the child to roll little equal size balls of clay and then using the childs creative work to start the process of number recognition. Harry looks like he loves making you happy and he loves to master new skills.. I really get why our kids fail to thrive in school, because there is no curiousity nor fascination in the learning process.. #What a wonderful gift you are giving Harry.. in home schooling him... I know that in recent posts you have mentioned that he is not always brilliantly behaved at the moment.. if he was a placid two year old, chances are that the limbic system has not fully matured to age appropriate yet.. and you will now be able to celebrate as he does the terrible twos, and the other pre 6 year old behaviours which were not done at the normal age.... the really good news is that these late catch up developments generally take much shorter time to be overcome!!! We had hair cut on own... cutting off curls when Tash was 10!!
