This innovation introduces an engaging, play-based approach to teaching fundamental math operations addition and subtraction to young children, specifically kindergarteners and Year 1 students. Recognizing the learning styles of early learners, who are more inclined towards play and hands-on activities, this method makes mathematics accessible, enjoyable, and relatable. By using everyday materials, the approach helps children grasp addition and subtraction in a tangible way, bridging the gap between abstract concepts and real-world experiences. The innovation is designed to address common challenges faced by young learners in understanding these basic operations. Many students struggle with traditional teaching methods, often finding it difficult to visualize or comprehend the principles of addition and subtraction. This approach not only facilitates a deeper understanding of these concepts but also enhances their ability to recognize and correctly write numbers. Through interactive play and visual aids, children can practice basic calculations in a fun and relaxed environment, fostering a positive attitude towards mathematics from an early age.
