Stairs for learning addition and subtraction

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Just wonder if anyone else has tried this and thought I’d pass it on. We used our staircase with son to practise addition and subtraction. He got addition Ok but had real trouble with subtraction. We found if we added stairs (going up) and subtractd on the stairs.He got it. He can even switch between the two now. Add 2 subtract 4… It was more fun for him than workbook practise but we even just used it as a big ruler for workbooks. When he got the answer he could sit and write it in the book.
