Examples

  1. While one child counts each block separately, another can instantly see how many there are just by looking.
  2. One kid adds 7 + 8 by counting up from 7, while another thinks it's 'one less than 10 + 5' and answers quickly.
  3. Some kids need to draw a picture before they understand the problem, while others solve it in their heads.
