| Nov 29, 2015 at 12:19 | comment | added | f.thorpe | Your response to "how do I teach a 3 yrd old arithmetic" is "don't; wait a few years" So, you are saying we should wait till children are 6-9 before teaching them arithmetic. If you truly believe that, fine, but it still does not answer the question of "How". | |

| Nov 28, 2015 at 16:44 | comment | added | f.thorpe | Jessica B "don't do it" is not an answer to "how to do it" ... you've answered "why shouldn't I teach a 3 year old arithmetic" which is not the question. | |

| Nov 28, 2015 at 9:30 | comment | added | Jessica B | @farrenthorpe The question was how best to teach a 3-year-old arithmetic. My answer is 'don't teach it at all'. A small number of children will be ready (answering the newly added question: yes a child can be a prodigy at 3, but very few are), and they will probably pick up things without formal instruction. The vast majority of children will not be ready at that age, and trying to teach them something they don't need to know ignores the more important things they need to learn about. | |
