Topic	Can you solve this ASIAN Style MATH Problem for 6 Year Olds? What's the answer?
wolfy42 08/22/17 12:38:10 PM #26:	This actually is an easy way for younger students to solve such problems, without having to use algebra, and it's a way that is used early on for many other math problems (Addition/subtraction etc). In fact we often have counters they can use, along with boxes on their work sheets etc, so they can start with say 4 counters, then take 2 away, and tell how many counters they have left. In this case you would have a first box with 7 more counters then the second box, which has 3 more counters then the third. Any child who can count would be able to eventually find the answer there. No higher math is needed, just being able to count counters. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!
