[quote=Anonymous]Step 1: Manipulatives/concrete reasoning. You get Legos, or little erasers or whatever they like, and you teach your child to visualize and touch what it means to add and subtract small numbers. Step 2: Abstract. You teach them to transfer that to paper and pencil. Then you use double digit numbers. If they want to double check on fingers, that's a form of concrete reasoning that's perfectly fine too, but only for confirming their abstract reasoning. [/quote]
