These 3 things matter to us because:
🧠 Children should know how to take charge of their learning journey. This builds confidence as they see progress that reflects their own abilities.
🔆 They are gaining independence and developing critical thinking. They are becoming self-directed learners who are confident in their ability to approach new concepts.
✏️ By eliminating gaps, they are building a stronger foundation before advancing to the next step. This instills a sense of accomplishment and empowers them to take on more complex topics without fear of falling behind.
Finger counting can be a helpful stepping stone for young children, but ultimately, the goal is for them to solve problems without relying on physical aids. 🧐
As math concepts get more difficult, finger counting becomes impractical.
By not relying on fingers, children become more independent in their math skills.
While Kumon MacDonald Highlands advise against finger counting on worksheets, it doesn’t mean it’s never helpful.
Finger counting can be a valuable tool for younger children to grasp basic number concepts.
