Care Corner Photo Journal - Volume 6
So...in Care Corner you canNOT use your fingers to do addition problems. I tell them we are going to add up numbers way past 10 and they will run out of fingers and we can't be taking off our shoes and socks. So...now what? Well they have a number line on their name tag...that would work. But one thing that works a little better...and is more fun...is a math ladder. It's something I developed years ago to help a student with special needs understand the concept of adding numbers together. When you add, the number gets bigger...or goes UP higher. So every year in Care Corner we use math ladders when we work on addition. They love starting on the first number and climbing UP to the bigger number...the answer. Yesterday we introduced math ladders and now they understand better how...it all adds UP.
