A 5-year-old's unique way of practicing addition
Second daughter: "Daddy, let's do this!"
That's what she said as she brought over my books on networking and security.
Me: "Alright."
I flipped through the pages and opened one to a network diagram.
My second daughter's method for practicing addition is
to calculate the sum of the number of computers and servers in network diagrams and the like.
For example, in the image above, it's like adding the number of computers on the other side of the wall (firewall) to the number of computers on this side of the wall. In this case, it's "
6+5"
Like that, regardless of the teaching material, she is enjoying learning.
However, even for my second daughter,
there is an addition problem she just can't solve.
Second daughter: "Mommy, how old are you now?"
Partner: "25!"
Second daughter: "Then, you'll be 26 on your next birthday, right? ♪"
Partner: "25!"
Second daughter: "Ehh... Big sister, how old will Mommy be next?"
Big sister: "3... 25!"
This is an addition problem that even I cannot solve.
A 5-year-old's unique way of practicing addition: Summary
Well then, thank you for reading this far.
This time, it was a story about how my second daughter practices addition using the network diagrams in my technical books.
It's a slightly unusual method of counting and adding up the number of computers and servers.
Using familiar objects as teaching materials (even if it is a bit unusual) is a good approach, isn't it?
However, adding up ages seems to be a bit difficult still. After all, she's forever 25!
Well then, thank you for reading until the end.
