[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 7368870, member: 127792"] It's all about making connections with numbers that get them up to ten. We used an abacus - old but works. Helps them understand that 8+7 is the same as 8+2+5, hence 10+5. Maths is easier once number bonds are in the memory. Fingers is the same as to do 8+7 you start with 8, add two then you run out of fingers! So you've counted to ten, then count five more. They seem to do several methods to get to the same result but there's no harm in that. I'm enjoying the maths. Can't help at all with yr8 German as I never did it. I just make him a cup of tea and watch. [/QUOTE]
