Some children find adding 2 groups of objects to form a third group confusing. How
can 4 and 3 equal 7? They cannot generalise the concept of grouping and regrouping to understand addition facts. It is sometimes easier to start with the concept of "What number comes next" or "What comes after 5, 6, 7" and base addition on the simple concept of adding on. The activities in the workbook teach addition as simply adding on one, then two, three and four. Each number is related to a dot pattern to enhance the numerical concept of addition. Some activity pages reinforce adding on by the use of repeated addition, e. g. 3+1+1+1 or 4+2+2+2. The use of 12 questions on each page makes the program compatible with the Mini LUK self checking system. See more about LUK at LUKselfChecking_Programs.
