Some people learn best by listening, some by doing and some by watching. For children, or even adults, who find math too abstract, Sarah Burwood has a beautiful and fun way to learn. She has designed a ‘Child’s Mechanical Visual Calculator’ exhibited at Made in Brunei.

'Helping children understand fundamental mathematical principles, Tumble Sums is a calculating tool which visually shows a child how an answer is being reached. Calculations are solved in a physical way, based solely on mechanical operations. Tumble Sums focuses on an understanding of the way children think, their mathematical understanding and the psychology behind these aspects.'

I can only imagine how much easier basic mathematical concepts would be for those children who are visual, mechanical, do-it, touch-it, break-it type of learners. Cheers to Sarah for helping move education one step forward. X
