consistent approach of
learning from concrete to
abstract concepts, doing simple
to difficult tasks, is present in all
areas of our curriculum
especially Mathematics.
hildren learn best in this way. For example,
before children learn to do sums on worksheets,
they have to learn to work with the ‘golden beads’
which teach them the decimal system.
 
nly then are they able to make sense of, relate to and understand the problem sums that they have to tackle on worksheets.
