Thread Name: BS: HOW do you think?
Subject: RE: BS: HOW do you think?
What's the point of just having numbers?
"10 plus 10 equals..?"
10 what?
How can you expect a child to do a sum when there's no picture in it.
'10 eggs plus 10 eggs' makes sense, but the other way?
Nope...means nothing...
You can't add it, subtract it, times it or divide it if you can't *see* what 'it' is in the first place....
