Description :-
The Control Charts set consists of 17 charts and 4 boxes of number tiles, providing a comprehensive and versatile tool for children to practice mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Charts:
The 17 charts are printed with blocks of squares. These charts include a variety of mathematical combinations and their corresponding results. They are designed to help children understand basic mathematical operations through a combination of visual representation and hands-on practice.
Each control chart contains:
o Basic combinations (e.g., simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
facts).
o Results are printed on the charts to allow for independent verification of the
answers.
- Tiles:
The set includes 4 boxes of number tiles, each marked with numbers in different colors to represent different operations:
o Red tiles represent addition.
o Green tiles represent subtraction.
o Yellow tiles represent multiplication.
o Blue tiles represent division.
The tiles are used to physically manipulate numbers and perform calculations on the charts. The color-coded tiles help reinforce the different operations, making it easier for children to visually distinguish between the four basic mathematical operations.
Control Charts
1. Introduction to Mathematical Operations:
The Control Charts provide children with an interactive method to explore the basic operations of math. They learn the foundational concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a hands-on, engaging way.
2. Reinforcing Mathematical Concepts:
As children place the coloured tiles on the charts to complete the calculations, they reinforce their understanding of basic number combinations and mathematical relationships. The colour coding system helps children visualize which operation they are working on.
3. Independent Learning:The charts are designed for independent work, allowing children to check their answers by comparing their work with the results printed on the chart. This promotes self-correction and fosters independent problem-solving skills.
4. Building Confidence:
The charts and tiles offer a visual aid that supports children in mastering their math skills. By using the materials repeatedly, children gain confidence in their ability to perform math
operations and increase their mental arithmetic skills.
The use of color-coded tiles for each operation not only makes the learning process more engaging but also helps children associate specific colours with mathematical operations. This visual reinforcement strengthens the memory and recall of the operations.
6. Concrete Representation of Abstract Concepts:
The tiles provide a tangible and concrete way for children to understand abstract math concepts like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Moving the tiles on the charts helps children physically manipulate the numbers and understand how the operations affect them.
7. Improving Problem-Solving Skills:
The Control Charts encourage logical thinking and problem-solving. Children must figure out how to use the tiles to solve problems and check their answers against the preprinted
results, enhancing their ability to reason through math problems.
8. Progressive Learning:
The charts are structured to provide progressive learning, starting with simpler combinations and gradually moving on to more complex ones. This structured approach helps children build their understanding step-by-step.
