Может кто-то посоветовать несложные LEGO конструкторы (исключая SpongeBob серию) для мальчика 6 лет?

when do they get the idea of adding and subtracting

It occurred to me that Max is getting the idea of adding (good)/ subtracting (bad) when he was about two. It’s all because he loved his mints. Adding mints was good, there are more to eat/ subtracting is bad, there are less mints.

This morning, he is a month away from three; it occurred to me that he has completely gotten the idea. He gets lost in larger numbers (5-7) but up to four he almost always gives a correct answer.

Ellen(3,5) and I were playing with marbels tonight. Then we started to play by counting them. I was adding one by one marble and asking how many are there. My goal was to lead to the idea of adding 1(you don't need to count all the way, result will be next number after the previous one). She was doing really good by counting small numbers, but she would always start from 1. On the bigger numbers it got a bit difficult, because she started to rush and miscalculate.

Should we wait with this game until she is really good(doesn't do any mistakes) with plain counting? But it's kind of boring just to  count.

 Should I had to procide in some other way?

Is it expected from a 3years old to be able to make a such pattern by herself or some explanation is due from a parent?

Counting backwards

I've got some 5 years old students that can't count backwards. So, if I show 10 fingers and remove one, they can't just see and tell "9", instead they need to count all the fingers: "1,2,3,4...9". Should they train remembering to count backwards by heart?

adding - subtracting at 2.3 months

Max can add. Max can subtract. I really wish I could take credit for this, but it’s not me, it’s all because of his mint obsession.

“Mama, mintь!”
“How many do you want?”
“Si”
“No, sweetie, three is two many; have two,” as I hand him two mints.
“Mama, oneь, (pause, thinking), moi!” (2+1= the three that he is insisting on)
So I had to give him the third one.

Or, the reading of “Five Monkeys” is also helping.

“Five, little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head …….
So, four little monkeys were jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head….
Three, ect.”

Max has three mints. Since that’s all I am planning to give him he causes a scene (he wants, five, six, seven mints). As part of the scene he drops one mint:
“Mama, tu mintЬ!”
“I know, how many did you drop?”
“OnЬ”

Counting to 5

I would like to recommend the Russian tale "Теремок" for the mothers of two years old to teach our toddlers the concept of the numbers from 1 to 5. It seems that this tale also helped my daughter to realize the concept of "addition" adding an animal to the already existing group.
