2. Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift rather than a hard duty.

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

6.  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

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

8. 1 bundle of 10 sticks 1 stick 1 ten 1 one 10 + 1= 11

9. = 1 Ten = 10 = 1 Ten and 2 Ones = 12

10. Expanded notation 35 = 3 tens and 5 ones = 30 + 5 24 =___ tens and ___ ones =___ + ___

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

12. =9 4 + 5= * Addition is shown by using concrete objects then pictorially and then numbers and symbols.

13. Pictorial addition +

14. 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

15. Number line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

16. Vocabulary used for addition

18. minus left take away

19. Worksheet on subtraction

20. Shapes

22. Heavy / Light

25. 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.

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