Math, like reading, is often taught with an emphasis on a bottom-up method (code or calculations first) or top-down method (meaning or principles first). When you watch the student in the video clip adapting the Oksapmin system to solve a math problem, do you consider the way he goes about solving that problem as an example of a bottom-up (code-first/calculations first) or top-down (meaning first/principles first) method?

    Bottom Up method

    Explanation:

    If we closely observe the Oksapmin method of counting, it is counting numbers by counting of body parts and the bottom up method is followed where normally a student will start from him thumb and call body part names as he counts the upper periphery of the body.

    If a student has to solve simple addition, he would simply start from counting his fingers irrespective of which finger to start with. Hence instead of following principle he jumps to calculations
