This evening, our family gathered in the living room and started talking about the bread we bought today. The conversation naturally turned to numbers: “How much was the bread Mom bought?” Dad asked. Our child, eyes full of curiosity, picked up the frog-shaped abacus. Moving the colorful beads one by one, the child said, “This is 1,000 won, this is 100 won!” and counted the numbers. It may look like a simple game, but through the process of adding and subtracting on their own, the child is learning the concept of money. Isn’t this kind of spontaneous study during everyday family talk the best kind of learning moment?
