Subject: [PSCI-COM] Exciting ways to teach maths to 8 year olds
> Hi
>
> I have been tutoring chemistry and biology for several years in using
> various interactive methods.
>
> However, I have just been emplayed by an agency to help a girl with mild
> brain damage with her maths. Before her accident, she was very good at
> maths. However, now, she, sometimes, has difficult conceptualising
> mathematical and numerical ideas. I want to find some good books or
> websites that give ideas of how to teach maths, to an eight year old, in
> an a fun and interactive way. I want to present the same mathematical
> ideas to her, in different ways, to hopefully find a way to help with her
> conceptualisation problems.
>
> Does anyone have any good books/websites, that they use? They do not need
> to be dedicated to people with brain damage just good maths references
> which are good at getting children enthused.

> Thanks for your help
