10 Reversal

In this video, we introduce the concept of reversal in mathematics and show how it builds deeper understanding by breaking automatic thinking. Starting with simple examples like counting backwards, we explain how reversal helps learners move beyond memorization and engage more actively with numbers, including extending counting past zero into negative numbers. We then connect this idea to real problem-solving, such as reversing actions (like going up and down stairs) and solving simple equations by working backwards. By showing how addition is reversed by subtraction and multiplication by division, the video highlights reversal as a fundamental tool for understanding algebra from an early stage.
