We consider it essential that children gain a
firm understanding of number; so much emphasis is placed on number activities
and games from an early age. The learning of tables and number bonds provide
children with the basis to tackle the four rules of number. Children are
taught informal methods of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division,
so they have a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical mechanics
of the process, before the formal methods are introduced and then applied
to problem solving.
