Day 4) Pattern recognition using Ki Number Steps; 3 & 7. Expose opposite numbers. Recap comparison with1 & 9. Select students that can best speak & give them the opportunity to express the new pattern in their own words. Correct them if necessary. Find your weakest students & give them the same opportunity. Break down Pattern exposure & elaborate on Numerical collapse: How the Numbers from 1 through 9 collapses within each other. Bring forth, the Number 5 as the equator for it is always centered yet considered an uneven Number. An Even/Val Number; has 5 Steps. Uneven/Ki Numbers; has 10 Steps. Yet 5 only has 2 Steps.
