A leg up for children in arithmetic development

Picture
The English words for number 11-19 are irregular and form a stumbling block for children in counting.  Unlike regular words (Ten-one, Ten-two, …, Ten-nine) in other languages, the irregular words mask the numeral’s base-10 structure, recurring pattern and place value, hinder children in arithmetic development.​

The linguistic hinderance and remedies will be presented by BiJian Fan at 2019 Conference for STEM education.
