Subject: counting backwards Author: Zainab [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:50:20 12/28/11 Wed I never knew my daughter could count so qiuckly and without mistakes until I introduced the game of counting forward to her! she did this very beautifully but then I didnt realise the kind of challenge counting backwards will pose when I told her to do it. I have tried using the tools, I also used her left and right hands(she knows her left and right very well) to describe before and after where left is the number before and right is the number after.She should just put the number provided in between her two hands. I also told her to put the picture in her mind i.e visualise the number and tell me if she could see in her mind's eye, the number before it. These worked but she is not always as eager as she would be when counting forward. I now make her fill in missing numbers on work sheets so she can master the art of slotting numbers before and after. I will really appreciate it if anyone tells me a more magical way of doing this.
