Here is something that might help boost how young kids leave nursery with multiplication underneath their belt fairly quickly along with other techniques. This should only be an aid or supplement but we could ask what 2x3 means. Don’t teach them it is the same as 3x2 just yet. It is better to make them believe that the order matters for the beginning part so that the focus is on the rule and not the order. 2x3 means if we have 2 things, we take a picture of it... how many TIMES? 3 TIMES. snap snap snap now how many in all 3 pictures? 2+2+2 = 6. Okay what is 2x5? It means take 2 things like 2 apples or bananas (not something distracting them away from the math like worms lol. Remember, these are 24/7 daydreamers so using overly-interesting objects might be detrimental). Sorry lost my point so essentially 2x5 are 5 pictures of 2 things. Now count in total.
Subtraction I found easy to teach by telling my nephew that -3 means you eat 3. I want to emphasise that I isolated -3 away from the context which is something like 4-3 because he needs to get adjusted to -3 as an entity of itself. When a kid looks at “4-3” they see a 4 and a 3 not a +4 and a -3. You should isolate that for him to get him thinking in that way such that he attributes the taking away to the -3 itself rather than the 3 which will get him confused (and is wrong too). I think we adults take the learning very much for granted because of how easy and quickly we learnt it all. We forgot (or may not even have ever known in the first place) what it was that prevented us from learning these concepts at an EVEN EARLIER age of the one we learnt it at.
