Learning tools

Just a thought.......
a week or two ago I ended up using a method my grandmother used when she helped out a cousin who was living with her at the time.....to help make the math more real and more visual, we used Leanna's Twistables to count out multiplication problems.  She really enjoyed it.  I remember my cousin telling me that when she was having trouble with math in school my grandmother got out the spoons and worked out her homework with her.  I think they were doing simple addition and subtraction but the priciple is the same.  Maybe my grandmother would have made a good teacher if her life had gone a different route.  Just a passing thought.
