- Garlef 6y agoI learned adding from counting disjoint unions of dots. I learned multiplication from counting squares of dots. But agreed: I learned about exponentiation first via repeated multiplication.
- AzzieElbab 6y agoThat is very cool. I prefer geometric/visual approaches. Like move that many steps along the line, figure out area of a rectangle and so on
