Paper money, that is. And she also knows how to ask me for money every time she hears a swear word out of my mouth. Hrmph….

Yesterday, I attempted to teach Tee about money. Now the only reason it appears that I am such a good mom spending quality time with her and all that is because the Hubs made me promise on my life that I will not shout at her all week whilst he is gone as she won’t have anyone to run crying to. Just for the record, I made this promise under duress. And if you don’t know me by now, I always keep my promises.

We started out by playing shopping where she was the customer and I, the shopkeeper. She came to buy a hairband and I told her that it cost RM2 but when she gave me the ‘pretend’ money, I told her that what she gave me was RM5, so how much change should I give back? She didn’t have a clue. I then tried using objects like hairpins, glue sticks and glass beads to teach her the concept of subtraction but she just couldn’t get it.

After awhile, she said, “I just want to make my own money. These things are not money.” *sore loser*

So she sat down with a piece of paper and started cutting up pieces of paper into rectangles, then started writing 5, 10, 20, 23 on them; sometimes backwards, hahaha…..

We started again. She gave me the 10 dollar note, and I told her the hairband was only 5 dollars, so how much change should I give her back? Blank.

We changed focus and brought out her octagon puzzle and colour coded each colour to a number, then slowly started counting, adding and subtracting. She finally got it, addition and subtraction. But when I asked her again, if she gave me 10 dollars and I only needed 2 dollars, how much change should I give her? Sometimes she got it right, sometimes she got it wrong.

*faint*

I am just not a very good teacher, am I??? Anyone???
