Learn Maths Through Play with Yo Aprendo a Contar by Diset

The Yo Aprendo a Contar Game by Diset (ref. 63714) is the perfect educational tool for children aged 5 and over to discover the fascinating world of numbers, addition and subtraction in a fun and natural way. This self-correcting teaching method has helped thousands of Spanish families introduce their children to maths without pressure, turning learning into an exciting game.

Designed by Diset, a leader in educational games since 1965, this game is part of the successful "Yo Aprendo" collection, recognised by educators and parents as one of the best learning support tools available on the market. With more than 83 progressive maths operations, children move forward at their own pace, gaining confidence with every correct answer.

Advantages of Yo Aprendo a Contar by Diset

This educational game is not simply a pastime: it is an investment in your children's academic future. While they play, they are developing fundamental maths skills that will stay with them for life:

✓ Unique self-correcting system: Children can check for themselves whether their answers are correct thanks to the clever fitting system. If the piece fits, the answer is correct! This encourages independent learning and removes the frustration of not knowing whether they are doing it right.

✓ Progressive learning without pressure: The game includes cards with different levels of difficulty, from basic counting to more complex addition and subtraction. Children progress at their own pace, without stress or competition, simply enjoying the process of discovery.

✓ Effective school support: Perfect for complementing what they learn at school. Many teachers recommend this game as a support tool at home, especially for children who need more practice or who learn better visually and through hands-on activities.

✓ Development of multiple skills: Beyond maths, this game works on concentration, visual memory, fine motor skills when handling the pieces, and perseverance when facing progressively harder challenges.

Full Contents of the Educational Case

When you open the Yo Aprendo a Contar case, you will find everything you need to start learning straight away:

• Sturdy educational case with carry handle, perfect for taking on trips or to the grandparents' house
• Fitting tray where the cards and number pieces are placed
• 15 illustrated cards with 83 maths operations of progressive difficulty
• Movable number pieces made of durable, safe plastic, with numbers from 0 to 9
• Maths symbol pieces (+, -, =) to form complete operations
• Teaching guide for parents and educators with tips on use and recommended progression
• Self-correcting system built into the tray that only allows the correct answers to fit

Everything is designed with high-quality materials that withstand heavy use. The pieces are the perfect size for small hands, with rounded edges and bright colours that catch children's attention.

How Does the Self-Correcting System Work?

The magic of Yo Aprendo a Contar lies in its self-correcting system, which allows children to learn completely independently:

1. Choose a card: The child selects one of the 15 available cards and places it on the tray. Each card presents several maths operations with attractive illustrations.

2. Read the operation: For example, "3 + 2 = ?" may appear alongside drawings of apples, cars or animals that make the operation more visual and easier to understand.

3. Look for the answer: The child thinks about what the correct result is and looks for the matching number piece among those available.

4. Try to fit it: Place the piece in the corresponding slot. If the answer is correct, the piece fits perfectly. If it is incorrect, it simply does not fit, which tells the child to try again.

5. Learn from mistakes: If the piece does not fit, the child can think again, count on their fingers, use the supporting drawings or try another number. There is no pressure, only learning.

This system removes the need for constant adult supervision, although of course parents can join in if they wish. Children gain independence and confidence, and learn that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process.

Learning Progression: From Basic to Advanced

The 15 cards are carefully designed to follow a coherent teaching progression:

Level 1 - Counting (Cards 1-5): Children start by counting illustrated objects. "How many butterflies are there?" "How many cars can you see?" This reinforces the concept of quantity and the association between number and quantity.

Level 2 - Simple Addition (Cards 6-10): An introduction to addition with small numbers (up to 10). The illustrations help them visualise: "2 birds + 3 birds = ? birds".

Level 3 - Basic Subtraction (Cards 11-13): Once addition has been mastered, subtraction is introduced visually: "5 balloons - 2 balloons = ? balloons".

Level 4 - Combined Operations (Cards 14-15): For the more advanced, operations combining addition and subtraction, preparing them for primary school maths.

This progression allows the game to grow with the child. A 5-year-old can start with the first cards and keep using the game until the age of 7-8 with the more advanced cards.

Perfect for Learning as a Family

Although the game is designed for individual use, many families turn it into a shared activity that strengthens bonds while they learn together:

Quality screen-free time: In a world dominated by tablets and mobile phones, Yo Aprendo a Contar offers a tactile, real alternative that encourages concentration and deep thinking.

Celebrate achievements: When your child completes an entire card correctly, it is the perfect moment to celebrate together. These small successes build their self-esteem and love of learning.

Help when they need it: If a child gets stuck on an operation, you can guide them with questions: "How many fingers do you have on one hand? And if you add two more?" This teaches them problem-solving strategies.

Portable for anywhere: The case with handle makes it easy to take anywhere: car journeys, visits to the grandparents, holidays, waiting rooms... It turns any wait into a learning opportunity.

Recommended by Educators and Specialists

Yo Aprendo a Contar by Diset is backed by education professionals:

• Infant and primary school teachers recommend it as support at home for children who need more practice or who learn at different paces
• Educationalists highlight its hands-on approach, ideal for children with visual-spatial or kinaesthetic intelligence
• Speech therapists and therapists use it in sessions with children who have learning difficulties, as the self-correcting system reduces anxiety
• Home-schooling families include it in their curricula as a main tool for early maths

The method has proven especially effective with children who freeze up with traditional maths on paper. By turning it into a hands-on game, the pressure and fear of making mistakes are removed.

The Educational Gift That Makes a Difference

If you are looking for a gift that combines fun and learning, Yo Aprendo a Contar is an exceptional choice:

✓ Birthdays for children aged 5-7: Right at the age when they start maths at school
✓ Start of the school year: Prepare children for what they are going to learn or reinforce what they have already covered
✓ Christmas and Three Kings' Day: A gift that parents will appreciate as much as children will enjoy
✓ School support: For children who need more practice at home in a fun way
✓ Older siblings: When a baby arrives, the older child can feel special with their "big kids' game"

The presentation in a sturdy case with colourful illustrations makes it a visually appealing gift. In addition, the case keeps everything tidy, teaching organisational habits from an early age.

Proven Educational Benefits

Beyond learning to add and subtract, Yo Aprendo a Contar develops fundamental skills:

Logical-mathematical reasoning: Children learn to think in a structured way, look for patterns and apply strategies to solve problems.

Working memory: Remembering numbers and keeping the operation in mind while looking for the correct piece exercises short-term memory.

Fine motor skills: Handling the small pieces and fitting them precisely improves hand-eye coordination and prepares them for writing.

Sustained concentration: Completing an entire card requires keeping their attention for 10-15 minutes, a crucial skill for success at school.

Academic self-esteem: Every correct answer reinforces the child's confidence in their maths abilities, creating a positive attitude towards maths that will last for years.

Independence in learning: By being able to play alone and correct themselves, children develop independence and responsibility for their own learning.

Tips for Getting the Most out of the Game

For parents of 5-year-olds: Start with the first counting cards. Do not rush to move on. Let them fully master one level before moving on to the next. You can use real objects (sweets, toys) to make the operations more tangible.

For children aged 6-7: If they already know their numbers, you can start directly with the addition cards. Encourage them to explain out loud how they reach each answer, as this reinforces their understanding.

Daily routine: Setting aside 10-15 minutes a day of "maths time" with the game creates a study habit without it feeling like a chore. It could be after their afternoon snack or before dinner.

Combine it with real life: "If we have 3 apples and buy 2 more, how many will we have?" Connecting the game with everyday situations reinforces learning.

Celebrate effort, not just correct answers: Praise them when they concentrate, when they persevere with a difficult operation, when they try different strategies. This builds a growth mindset.
