What the video says
- Stop saying twelve divided by three.
- Put 12 almonds and 3 katoris in front of your child.
- Ask them to share fairly, one at a time, like dealing cards.
- How many in one bowl? Four.
- That is division. They did it before hearing the word.
- Now ask it this way: three times what makes twelve?
- Same maths, and much easier, because they search a table they already know.
- Then try 13 almonds in 4 bowls. One is left over.
- That leftover almond is the remainder.
