Teach children to count up to 10. TO THE TEACHER: - Teach numbers first, and use figures to express them after they are learned. In imparting the first ideas of number, a numeral frame should be used. Distinguish counting from mere numbering. One thing is one. One and one put together, is two. Three ones, or two and one put together, is three. By taking four, five, six, seven, eight or nine things, and putting them together, the idea of four, five, six, seven, eight or nine is imparted, or arises in the mind. Use various kinds of objects with which to make the first ideas of number clear. Remember that the mind imposes number upon things. |
