Do “slow learners, pre-school children” learn number more effectively with SOBATAKA?

Abstract—Educational toy has an important role in improving educational performance of slow learner children especially at the preschool level. This paper draws on a study of SOBATAKA implementation for the preschool children who were having dyslexia and very weak performance in mathematics – in recognizing, counting and writing number from 1 to 10. The reasons why SOBATAKA was designed and the process of how SOBATAKA was tested and implemented are explained detail in this paper.  To analyze SOBATAKA’s effectiveness, a thorough study of problem identification through class observation and parents-teacher interview has been executed.  Then, process is followed by performing three types of assessment during the mathematics class; Activity 1- Pulling Forward the Bus while Saying the Ascending Number, Activity 2 – Singing an Ascending Number Song and Activity 3 – Writing Numbers from 1 to 10.  From the result analysis, it was found that SOBATAKA was successfully tested and proven can benefit the slow learners at preschool level enhancing their skills of recognizing, counting and writing numbers from 1 to 10 in two weeks’ time. The negative behaviors of fear, passive, not motivated, shy and less interest in learning mathematics have been positively changed to be much more daring, courage, active, confident and ambitious after the SOBATAKA’s class treatments. Finally, it can be concluded that SOBATAKA is able to enhance the ability of the ‘slow learners at pre-school level’ in learning numbers more effectively, but is also can strengthening their cognitive concept and social skills.
