Resharing this insightful piece from Aryan Valley School, Ladakh - I really resonated with the way mathematics teaching is explained here - {{{{{We start with abstract symbols when we should start with concrete play. We emphasize calculation when we should emphasize thinking. We test memory when we should test imagination.}}}} This beautifully captures what foundational learning should look like—especially in mathematics. When children explore concepts through play and curiosity - then math stops being fearful and starts becoming meaningful. Do read about the girl, Dolma, her confidence in defending her point. says a lot !!!
