[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, shaking my head over pages of discussion of 7 + __ = 10 Haven't any of you ever heard of using techniques like math manipulatives? Holy crap, this is not rocket science, people. You are all acting like this stuff is bizarre and alien when it's actually all pretty common and logical.[/quote] You can use the manipulatives at first, but it needs to be automatic. You shouldn't have to have kids counting on their fingers (or in their heads) to solve that problem.[/quote] Manipulatives are an illustrative concept, one among many. No, obviously kids will not go through life with manipulatives. But the fact that people are acting bewildered and stumped about how these basic things can be demonstrated by kids really makes me wonder if they have any experience with math education at all.[/quote]
