On teaching maths to young kids

One of the useful method that i have used to teach addition is:
1. teach her playing 3 cards三张牌
2. then ask her to count the total of car plate numbers while travelling to/back from school.(eg: car plate no.: 3346 = 3+3+4+6 = 13 then slowly progress to choose more complicated numbers like 8896 = 8+8+9+6=31, teach her to take out numbers that can form 10) .

Playing cards will do wonders coz u can pick card 8 and card9, use card 9 to cover 1 point of card 8, then u can easily spot 10+7, which then forms 17. 

All the best!
