The Circular Constant π=3.14
The circumference is called ‘periphery’ in Latin, and the initial ‘p’ contains
π in Greek.
And then π was used.
Archimedes calculated the circular constant as follows....

Ms. Nanako Kobayashi said,
My son and I played dots cards often since he was 4 months.
Now, he is three years old and active and sometimes doesn’t need his
parents.
He is occasionally absorbed in his playing, and doesn't concentrate on the
dots cards when we want to play it.
If you played dots cards, you know, preparing it is rather troublesome.
And, I know that we should show dots cards to him constantly after we
played it again and again.
So, I searched some methods, and then found this.
When I’m looking at the PC and he sits on my knees, I show him those
movies that are on the desk top for several seconds. He likes the movie of
fruits especially, and watches it intently in a short time.
It‘s very easy without preparation.
He sometimes says, “One more time.”
But it is the trick of stopping when the child wants to watch it a little
more,
I turn off the movie saying “Tomorrow we will watch it again.”
There are numbers and math sign language and it takes less than 1 minute
showing all parts for one day. I
’m pleased with it as it is very easy and convenient.
I hope that the four basic operations of arithmetic will be created.
Mr. Yoshio Saito said,
I’m 63 and I have two grandsons of two years old.
My parents lived desperately because it was the mixing up age after the war
in my infancy.
to be continued.
Of course I didn’t get any education at all before I enter the elementary
school. My parents left me alone.
After I entered the elementary school, I didn’t know how to study and my
grade was not good.
I hated studying and school and then I spent times playing until I entered
junior high school.
The new teacher taught me the technique of studying in the new term of the
second grade of junior high school.
But it was too late to take the entrance examination and I abandoned the
idea of going to college.
I became an ordinary salaried worker.
Are there many people who have had the same experience?
So, I was searching for early learning material for my grand son.
One day I found some teaching materials called ‘Baby Math Sign’
accidentally.
It fits for me because I think that an infant doesn’t have a self, so they
should learn unconsciously.
The infant’s brain absorbs all they watch and listen like a sponge absorbs
water.
Ms. Kazuko Sato’s Baby Math Sign has a program that offers learning in
playing with long times again and again.
It is programmed to learn naturally from the environment with watching and
listening without enforcement.
It’s wonderful!
I’d like to present it to my grand son for his second birthday.
Thank you very much.
Ms. Kyoko Sugawara said,
“Wow, it’s great!”
This is the first words that I saw from this learning material.
3 year old children can count numbers to 100 smoothly! They also can count
in English!
Ordinary 3 year old children can understand about to number 4.
If they can count, it's only a little. However, children can count numbers
to 100 easily with this program and both in Japanese and English.
I was so surprised.
It takes a long time that they can count to 100 when they enter the
elementary school.
The program isn’t difficult.
Just playing the movies and sounds for only 3 minutes every day
There wasn’t a learning method with sign language until now. It has originality.
If the baby touches the numbers and English, it is hoped that the child’s
ability will be higher up until they enter the elementary school.
The Baby Math Sign Cottage had opened in Nagano Oct. 2008.
About early education
1.What's learned in the cradle lasts till the tomb.
This proverb is said “3 year’s child’s soul continues to 100 years.” in
Japanese.
It is the similitude that the characters and customs which they got when
they were little aren
’t changed when they grow up to adults.
I felt it so much from my experience as follows.
When I had a kids learning class room in my house several years ago, a
4 year old boy came.
One day when we used some illustrated cards of insects like acute beetle, butterfly, dragonfly, glass hopper and so on, he was
scared of the cards so much and went away.
He never came to my class room again. His mother hated insects and so did
he though he was a first-born son of a farmer and there was beautiful nature
around his house.
The 4 year old boy hated insects so much!
I thought that kid｡ﾇs liking was decided very early.
Many people forget the memories of when they were 3 years old.
I moved from Tokyo to Osaka when I was 4 years old, so a pose was made in
my memory and then I remember the time when I was 3 or 4 years old as my
life environment was changed extremely comparing with before the move.
There were rice paddies in front of my house and a pine forest in the back
of the house in Tokyo.
When it was sunny, we could watch Mt. Fuji so far.
I like nature so much. There were many rice paddies and fields around my
house in Osaka but I was so lonely because there were very few trees.
The science phobia is a problem both in America and Japan,
I think that the main cause is that there is very little nature around
children
and they don't have a chance to think, "This is interesting and wonder,
Why?" in the nature.
Going back to the former subject,
the musical educator, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki said,
"More early age."
Grenn Dohman wrote, "The infant wants to learn math."
the former president of Sony wrote," Kindergarden is too late."
French language and psychology scholar, Dr. Tomatis says, "The perfect
pitch is the highest in the first year of life, and decreasing by age until it
is about 0 in 6 years old."
From those, it is said that music and language learning should be started
at the earliest age possible.
But, it is the ideal that every subject also should be started at an early
age.
However, it is not the enforcement of it, but making the environment that
the children will play and learn in natural.
American astronomer, Dr. Carl Sagan, when he was 4 years old, was
interested in math which his elder brother learned.
It is the environment, too.
When should we start?
Right after the pregnancy.
Unborn babies can listen to sound from when they are 6 months in utero but
mothers need the time to practice learning for baby.
Ideally, the early learning should be started from the time when you want
to have a baby.
Of course education for children is not only study but also a growing warm
heart with discipline and so on.
It is not an exaggeration to say spending the first 3 years
in what environment will control the life.

2 The apprentice in the gate reads passing not learnt.
The children who lived around the temples played listening to the sutra
every day and they remember it naturally and could repeat it a long time ago.
Now, the children memorize and imitate the TVCM, popular songs, the theme
song of a drama or animation and so on.
Please close your eyes and recall your house or your school or your office
or the place where you know well.
Did you remember them easily?
Our brain has the ability to remember automatically.
If we listen or watch something many times, the brain remembers it
automatically.
How wonderful!
Every child has this ability, so they can learn their mother tongue
language.
If there are the movies, sounds and pictures of art, classical music,
poems, math, science, social studies and so on instead of the TVCM and popular
songs,
children will learn naturally.
This is the outline of the mother tongue method.
I'm going to suggest the total education of math and science including
experience of nature, museums, and volunteering with the mother tongue method.
