Rechnen statt Zählen

Children with difficulties in arithmetic often solve all math problems by counting, frequently using their fingers, until the end of elementary school. They struggle to access calculation strategies because they lack basic arithmetic skills. These children find it hard to understand that numbers can be broken down and related to one another.

This volume addresses this issue. It demonstrates how even children with arithmetic difficulties can be introduced to effective calculation strategies in early education and can move beyond counting. In addition to a chapter that clarifies the theoretical foundations, the book provides diagnostic tasks that can be easily integrated into everyday teaching.

It includes 56 photocopiable templates with a variety of exercises and games that systematically pave the way for automation in the areas of number decomposition and one-plus-one. Each worksheet comes with didactic and methodological guidance as well as practical tips.

Support for linguistic accompaniment and a detailed glossary complete the offering.
