Zwei und zwei zusammenzählen, das ist eine sprichwörtlich kinderleichte Aufgabe: ZWEI PLUS ZWEI IST GLEICH VIER. Addieren und subtrahieren lernt man schließlich schon in der Grundschule und so ist auch ZEHN MINUS FÜNF IST GLEICH FÜNF keine große Herausforderung für ein Kind. Das Multiplizieren kommt etwas später, es ist aber nützlich: Wenn ich von Oma und Opa und der Tante zum Geburtstag jeweils zehn Euro bekomme, dann habe ich DREI MAL ZEHN IST GLEICH DREISSIG Euro. Auch das Dividieren hat Anwendungsmöglichkeiten im täglichen Leben: Vom Kuchen sind noch sechs Stücke übrig und wenn ich sie mit meinen beiden Geschwistern teilen muss, dann bekommt jeder SECHS GETEILT DURCH DREI IST GLEICH ZWEI Stücke Kuchen.
Das Potenzieren ist dann schon etwas schwieriger: DREI HOCH ZWEI IST GLEICH NEUN und DREI HOCH DREI ERGIBT SIEBENUNDZWANZIG. Und schließlich gibt es da noch das Wurzelziehen: Die QUADRATWURZEL AUS NEUN IST DREI. Aber damit beenden wir für heutige Mathematikstunde.
