[Serious]Best method to teach Math to a 6 year old
Is there a hidden trick of effectively teaching addition to a kid? I have been mentoring my son in addition and what I am doing is, in adding two single digit nos. (eg. 8 + 9) he will memorize 9 then raise 8 fingers in his hand and count starting from 10 (next no. after 9), closing each finger after it has been counted until all is closed. This seem to be effective but there could be other tricks, like just adding a value to the higher no. (9, in this case 1 is to be added) and subtracting the value from the other no. (8) which will make it 7, and 17 could be easily derived from 10 and 7, will that be more effective over my previous method? Is there any other method of teaching addition?
I am looking also for an easy method to teach subtraction but I have not come up with an idea yet.
