What is a Number Dots Card?

I heard about number dots card after reading Glenn Doman's book How to Teach Your Baby Math . Essentially, these are cards with random dots (usually red) printed on them. You can use them like flash cards that train your kid to recognize the concept of a number in terms of its quantity (i.e. the dots) instead of its symbolic representation (i.e. the numeral system as we know).

Hear from the late Glenn Doman in the video below as he passionately makes this point across.

If you want to give this a try, you can start with a basic set of 50 cards from 1 to 50 (see screenshot) to get your kid going.

How to Help Your Kids to Hone their Photographic Memory Ability

We all know having a good memory is important, so it is important that we train our kids when they are young.

Below is one way to train your kids' spatial memory. Arrange some items (in this case animals - see screenshot) in a 3x3 grid, with 2 blank squares. Flash this to your kid for approximately 5-10 seconds. Now, give him a blank 3x3 grid and ask him arrange the pictures in the same order from memory.

Test a kid's memory of placement of items in a 3x3 grid arrangement.
