Description: Surprise is an essential mathematics skill that helps children understand the concept of "taking away". Using visual markers, such as dots, allows young learners to attach to tangible numbers. Instead of relying only on abstract symbols, they can touch and count each dot, making the process more interactive and intuitive. The method works by assigning a specific number dots on each digit, helps students to see and feel changes in numbers. By practicing repeatedly with touch-based subtractions, the learners develop strong number emotion and problem-solution skills. The process creates confidence, improves accuracy, and makes mathematics feel less intimidating. Over time, children infection in dots to identify mentally subtraction patterns, preparing them for more advanced mathematics concepts. This method is especially useful for visual and Keystatic learners who are beneficial to see and physically interact with numbers. With practice, subtraction becomes another nature, allowing children to solve problems quickly and efficiently.
