This is so pertinent to what @mikeaskew26 and what Katie from @CamMathsHub we’re saying at the @Mathematical_A conference on Saturday.
"If we let the children ‘have a dialogue’ with the rods and if we accept that before they see certain relationships between them they will discover more primitive ones, we shall have eliminated counting as the basis of learning arithmetic.” Modern Mathematics Caleb Gattegno p13
