Children love animation

Children have vivid imaginations. Maths is not often taught in a manner that allows the child to use their imagination. Maths is considered to be far too serious a subject to let children harness their imagination. What sort of answers would a child come up with if it used its imagination when doing maths?
Q. “What’s 1 + 1?”
A. “Pink bunnies”.
But is this the case? Children want to please the adults in their lives. They know when it is appropriate to be serious and when to be frivolous. They might use frivolity as an excuse to avoid work, but they know exactly what they’re doing, when they do it. The aim of Puppet Maths is to harness children’s imagination to make maths fun. And Maths should be fun, without having to dumb it down.
Children love animation, it simply catches their imagination. The use of puppets immediately propels a child to start using the imaginative part of their mind. When they’re doing this, the child’s mind is open for learning. This is why Puppet Maths is so effective at teaching maths, it engages children’s open minds.
