That's Using Your Head!!

Maddie has finally, for the most part, got her numbers 6-10 down. It's been a long, hard road and I'm so relieved. It has allowed me to move on in our summer homeschooling and this week we are doing addition and subtract up to 10. Mostly we use poker chips to visually see the problem but when it's a real simple one like 10-1 I have her use her fingers. She has a hard time keeping the numbers straight when she uses some fingers that are up (this counted in the total) to count other fingers on the other hand. Something about it just throws her. Today she started counting with her head. It worked! She didn't miss a single one. Now that's using you head.
