Playtesting
I was bemused to find that some kids can play our initial arithmetic activities ("3 + 5 = ?") all day long without learning what I’d like them to learn, which is to do arithmetic quickly in their heads. That’s because there’s a successful playing strategy that doesn’t exercise this path in your brain: slowly and patiently count each sum on your fingers and then give the correct answer. To my surprise this is exactly what some kids do, and on reflection I see that the activity doesn’t present any reason not to. Ooops! :-)
