(All Indo-European languages are non-standard.) • Asian children learn mathematics using transparent number naming. • They understand place value in first grade; only half of U.S. children understand place value at the end of fourth grade. • Mathematics is the science of patterns. The patterned transparent number naming greatly helps children learn number sense. © Activities for Learning, Inc. 2015 Transparent Number Naming • Asian children do not struggle with the teens. •
