A For Add-On (A To Z Blogging Challenge)--Plus Other Ramblings

I accept been super busy on my trip to the E coast to catch friends that I totally missed final Th together with fifty-fifty my blogiversary (but hey, at that topographic point volition e'er survive more).  I all the same create accept a piffling process giveaway, but I volition hold off until I am dorsum from my trip for the Lollipics prize (yay!).

So, for the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to Z blogging challenge I am going to beak almost a math topic, concept, or term together with write a chip almost it or plow over but about ideas how to teach/reinforce it : )


Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 for Addition!!!  Addition is actually the start matter nosotros learn kids together with kids e'er desire more, more, to a greater extent than hence I gauge it is natural that nosotros focus on add-on first.

Long earlier nosotros used numerals at that topographic point were dissimilar adding devices--our fingers, the abacus, sticks, etc.  Now at that topographic point is the estimator but earlier nosotros allow the piffling people but punch inwards the numbers for that nosotros accept to brand certain they empathize the concept.  Also, (my favorite) house value come upwards into play in 1 trial nosotros acquire to a greater extent than than nine of something.  Also, I experience it is real of import to accept the piffling ones empathize all the dissimilar ways to brand each number.  Even doing that simple exercise tin survive interesting to piffling kids...

How many ways tin nosotros brand 8?


Some kids volition solely nation 1+7, 2+6, 3+5, 4+4, 5+3, 6+2, 7+1  That is vii ways.
Then other kids mightiness accept those summation the 0+8 promotion 8+0 (2 more)
But hence you lot may accept other kids that fifty-fifty intend almost splitting upwards the add-on to survive 1+1+6, 1+2+5, together with hence on.  Then you lot start to think, Wow!  There are a lot of ways to brand an slowly number--way to a greater extent than than the seat out itself.
