Why are the numbers written in such a non-conventional way? Bfpage (talk) 04:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Indicating how to write the number with little arrows ?

 * e.g. http://www.cool-coloring-pages.com/calligraphy_for_kids_digit_1.php Wouldn't that be a good idea?
 * How to implement it?

Praise for this book
Good job on the book from a once-upon-a-time mathematics major [New College of Florida, BA, 2002]. I think I learned a few things when reading it. Arided (discuss • contribs) 00:21, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Quiz
A quiz page was created, Wikijunior:Small Numbers/quiz. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 01:44, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Imho, a quiz isn't a useful addition to this book.
 * I'm it doubt of the bona fides of its creation, as all other edits that day by its creator, 83.28.60.223, were strictly disruptive.

Where's the follow-up book(s)?
Hi, I come in from cognitive sciences/memorisation techniques and specifically memorization techniques for number and/or letter combinations, e.g. how to remember your phone number, or phone numbers of your family? Numbers are too abstract for our brain to remember. That can be helped by linking every number with an image. Hence our proposal to continue with follow-up books with 2 digit numbers. E.g. helping kids to remember phone numbers. An often-used trick is that you use a memory palace, e.g. the phone number of your kids grandparents - say 04 86 39 88 68 - is located in their house, and when you reach their home, there is the first 2 digits - and every 2 digits are connotated with an image e.g. So, you can picture your grandfather's phone number by: you, going to the front yard where you see your grandfather with a chopping board and a knife enjoying some aperitive he's chopping-up in the sun, as you move along to the entrance door, you see your grandmother blowing a wistle standing in the door, and then she wants to kiss you and calls you her little tadpole, in the corridor, you see your fidgetspinner you left there last time or you smell something delicious cooking on the 4 hotplates in the kitchen and as leave the kitchen to enter the back-yard you hear a whistle - apparently, there's a game going on and it's your anty blowing that wistle. How can we best make that into a series of books for nrs 10-19, 20-29, etc? I like it that you give 3 common images that could represent a number.

 * 04 = looks like a Chopping board & Knife; the 0 looks like a chopping board and the 4 looks like a knife; so there's a chopping board and knife in the little garden in front of the entrance door at your grandparents and as it is your grandfather's phone number, he's enjoying an aperitive in the sun whilst chopping some cheese on a chopping board with a knife = 04 ;
 * 86 = looks like a women with a whistle = grandmother blowing her alarm whistle for when she falls or gets robbed at the entrance door as she's happy to see you;
 * 39 = looks like a bridge on its side or lips that want to kiss a tadpole (the 9);
 * 88 = looks like a fidget spinner or 4 hotplates in the kitchen;
 * 68 = looks like a whistle blown by a woman again;


 * Interesting. A book on the numbers from zero to nine makes imho a quite charming book at the pre-reader level; but a sequel for two-digit numbers, would be considerably more advanced.  How it's done would determine whether it's even a Wikijunior book, or something for our mainspace. It's kind of an intriguing idea. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 20:30, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
