👉 Sticks math, also known as stick counting or stick notation, is a method of performing arithmetic operations using simple sticks or any other rigid objects. It involves representing numbers and mathematical operations visually, typically by arranging sticks in specific patterns to denote quantities and operations. For addition, you simply count the number of sticks representing each digit and then combine them, aligning them by their place value. For subtraction, you might remove or exchange sticks to find the difference. Multiplication can be visualized by grouping sticks into sets, while division involves splitting groups of sticks into equal parts. This tactile and visual approach makes it an accessible and intuitive way to learn and teach basic arithmetic, especially for young learners or those who struggle with traditional symbols.
