Is it possible to teach arithmetic in the early years of school so that the majority of students do not perceive the lesson as stressful? Are there ways to practice arithmetic that does not negatively affect a child's enjoyment in life?



Active account! It describes the very particular method in which arithmetic is taught at the Rudolf Steiner / Waldorf school. Instead of trying to provide a full description of this teaching method, the book focuses on many different aspects of movement.
And drawing exercises. These exercises respond to both children's great need for physical activity and their innate curiosity for the world of numbers.



The book is intended not only for arithmetic teachers in youth classes, but also for people who work with the same age group outside of school using games and movement. Parents with children need special support at home and teachers are working
Children with special needs will find the book a rich source of useful ideas.
