You talking elementary school: teach the kids how to do their match homework using Paper Programs - not doing the math like a calculator, but doing the math the same way kids do: adding/subtracting columns of numbers to arrive at the answer. Just implementing that as Paper Programs will inspire a host of related projects tied to a need to 'count things'.
- ChicagoBoy11 9y agoYour comment made me think about our math curriculum, and a lot of the work that we do with the younger kids deals with just establishing some basic numeracy; for instance, having small blocks that represent a unit, and then having a different type of block that represents 10, etc. Having a camera recognize these as the children play with them could be absolutely perfect. Thanks for the inspiration.
