Mathematics is infused with logic, visual aids, fun and above all the beauty of numbers.

Number Concepts 1-100 *Number before, eg: 10 *Number after, eg: 21 *Number between, eg: 30 32 *Missing numerals -Ring the smallest number .Eg: 21, 41, 61, 11 -Ring the greatest number. Eg: 50,25, 37, 46 -Arrange numbers from small to big eg: 17,9,28,71 -Arrange numbers from big to small eg: 50, 27, 11, 32

The stages used in teaching all Mathematical concepts would be: Concrete Pictorial Abstract

Pictorial = 1 Ten = 10 = 1 Ten and 2 Ones = 12

Tens and Ones 1 bundle of 10 sticks 1 stick 1 ten 1 one 10 + 1= 11

= 30 + 5 24 =___ tens and ___ ones =___ + ___ Expanded notation = 30 + 5 24 =___ tens and ___ ones =___ + ___

Abacus Count the beads on the Abacus and expand T O 43 43= 4 tens + 3 ones = 40 + 3

4 + 5= =9 *Addition is shown by using concrete objects then pictorially and then numbers and symbols.

Pictorial addition +

Done in progressive, step wise manner, starting from adding on the number line, single digit (horizontal, vertical) followed by two digits (horizontal, vertical) without carrying over. For example: 10+2= 12 (Horizontal) For example: 22 (Vertical) +10 32

A day to day progress in class The skills regarding reading of numbers, recognizing numbers, symbols, worksheets, regular class work, oral work, class test and diagnostic test.

Reinforcement to be done at home with your child, keeping in mind the method taught in school. Reinforcement and encouragement brings about success.
