Practical math from the very beginning! Is it possible to teach practical math right at the start of first grade, even when reading skills and basic arithmetic need to be practiced first? Yes, it is! Through pictures and stories from everyday life, children are playfully introduced to solving mathematical problems. They quickly learn that everyday life is full of math challenges, whether in the vegetable garden, at the zoo, or at the train station. The stories and images provide interesting opportunities for conversation, allowing children to collaboratively develop problem-solving strategies. The journey is the goal, as the focus is not only on the correct calculations but also on fostering a fundamental understanding of mathematics. Games support a joyful engagement with numbers, as well as the independent tackling of weekly assignments.
