Das Übungsheft Mathematik - Kleines Einspluseins

The practice booklet for the small multiplication is the ideal tool to bypass counting calculations. Instead of simple rote memorization, children are taught the connections between addition problems so that they can apply them automatically later on. The practice booklet offers various ways to improve and automate the transition between calculation and result. Calculation tricks such as near-doublings, decompositions using 5, neighboring problems with 10, and stepping over 10 help children develop a sense of the structure of the number space up to 20 and internalize its properties. Understanding the connections is initially introduced through various representations, allowing for automated work at the symbolic level later on.
