After we entered the big class, many parents began to help their children with math problems at home, and they were very anxious when they saw their children counting with their fingers broken. In fact, this is just a process for children. Some children will use their fingers as a computing tool before the formation or development of abstract thinking.

But if the child can't get rid of this tool, it will be bad, which will affect the development of his abstract thinking. At this time, it is necessary to guide him. For example, to calculate "3+4", many children will hold out their left hand and a 3 ratio, then hold out their right hand and a 4 ratio, and then count from left to right. As mentioned above, he didn't start the real calculation at this time, and he was still in the counting stage. At this time, parents can slowly guide him to semi-imagery thinking: first remember 3 in your mind, add 4, and the numbers in your right hand-numbers, 4, 5, 6, 7, and draw a conclusion. Slowly, without hands, it just becomes a representation and is calculated in your mind. This is a process of development.

In addition, parents should understand that sometimes waiting is also an education. When you get older, maybe even if you let your child break his fingers and count, he won't be like this. A child's growth needs him to experience and wait.
