| | applied arithmetic | Explanation:
"Rekenen" refers to the subject taught at (elementary) school, I think arithmetic is the best translation for this. It doesn't involve true mathematics, it's really a simple form of calculus. I added applied, because 'metend' is used to indicate that the problems represent real-life situations that require some calculations. HTH! |

3 hrs confidence: counting as you measure
Explanation:
This is about adding as you "go along". Our son (IQ 74), among many other problems, is also dyslexics. When he was young, I made him measure say 8 cm and then 5 on top of that and then made him "discover" that the two together added to 13.
Anyhow, this is how I managed to give him some insight into "rekenen". For what it's worth...
