[quote=Anonymous]I'm from CA originally and had never heard of the DOT Method until my oldest was introduced to it in 1st grade 12 years ago. She has struggled in Math for the entirety of her school career. Her sister and I (having not learned by that method) excel in Math. I removed her from the school and tried traditional math after but the damage was done. DOT method is a horrible way to learn math and it is not natural in anyway. Learning with objects allows us to manipulate and understand and strengthens our connection with the math. Fingers and toes are a better way to add and subtract. Natural math is a much better way to go.[/quote]
