Peer reviewedChilcote, Elinor; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Games and activities, which are fun, practical, and related to the child's world, are presented. Suggestions are given for building skills in estimating lengths, guessing how many, recognizing patterns in counting, multiplying with "waffles," classifying by attributes, and adding and subtracting with special cards, relays, and play…
