[quote=Anonymous]OP again -- Sorry, didn't mean I'd be drilling my kids with math memorization. But when it comes down to it, manipulatives, etc. are all about memorization just in more interesting ways. For example, if you don't have an abacus in front of you, how do you know that 3+2=5 -- I would guess b/c you used the abacus so many times, that answer was memorized. Whereas the dots (at least in my experience) weren't about memorizing that 3+2=5, but about counting three dots, then counting two more dots and getting to 5. There's a reason I was an English major!! :) [/quote]
