jaspreet sethi, Founder, HATTENNOKI

Education is the accumulated wealth that paves the way for a better life, a truth I grasped early on while growing up in a mother-teacher and father-architect household. This upbringing afforded me a first-hand look at the transformative power of knowledge. Despite the assumption that math would naturally be my forte, I found it required diligent effort. In my earlier years, mathematics seemed confined to rigid rules and rote memorization, leaving little room for questioning or understanding the underlying principles.


However, it wasn't until later, while studying economics and finance, that I truly appreciated the importance of mathematics and the rationale behind its teaching. I am grateful to my alma mater Teachers College, Columbia University where I was encouraged to explore the "whys" of mathematics.


Transitioning into a career as a math teacher allowed me to delve deeper into the complexities of educational outcomes. While continuous self-reflection spurred personal growth and improvement, it was through professional development that I gained the necessary tools and strategies to optimize my teaching effectiveness.


When I became department chair, I recognized the invaluable contributions of teamwork in shaping and enriching educational experiences. Collaborating with like-minded colleagues, we endeavored to make mathematics more accessible to all students, striving to effect changes within our educational systems.


Becoming a parent rewrote the importance of nurturing relationships and fostering a supportive environment for childhood development. This realization was reinforced during the pandemic when I took on the responsibility of homeschooling our child, highlighting the critical role of language, comprehension, and social-emotional learning in the learning process.


In these almost two decades of teaching and learning, I've come to appreciate the multifaceted nature of education. From the intricacies of information processing to the nuances of performance and application, I've learned that successful learning outcomes are influenced by multiple factors.

As I continue on this journey, I am committed to further exploration and discovery, guided by many epiphanies including – education is not what we need for a job, but education is what we need for civility and humanity.


I am Jaspreet Sethi, a homeschooling mom, a math and language enthusiast, educator, and educational consultant. Drawing upon training and experience, as well as current research in the field of education, I provide effective, evidence-based solutions for all my stakeholders.


I believe in building learner communities experiencing the joys of learning by creating and delivering thoughtfully-planned, engaging lessons to all ages across the globe. I am well versed with early childhood, Pre-K-12 mathematics and reading, various curricula worldwide and keep growing by learning about how instruction is delivered around the globe and how effective teaching develops a growth-mindset and penchant for learning for life.


When I am not working, I am reading, writing, crafting, building, or playing with our child - our biggest joy and inspiration. I have a loving engineer husband who is the driving force and CPU behind all my endeavors.

Yonjuu 四十

Yonjuu (meaning the number 40 in the Japanese language) is a fun math game developed by Hattennoki’s founder Jaspreet Sethi to build number sense, logical reasoning, and strategic thinking in children 3+ years and grown-ups.


Email us at jaspreet@hattennoki.com or call us at +91 8310426203 to purchase the game for your school/institution/home or book a demo session with your school, teachers, business, or apartment to learn how to adapt the game to different age groups and levels of math enthusiasts.


What's inside the box?


The deck consists of 44 cards consisting of four coloured 0-10 number cards. The new version of the game also consists of 4 trump cards.

Objective of the basic version of the game

Reach the target number of 40 (Yonjuu) using all the cards distributed.

Setup

Minimum players: 2

Maximum players: 6

If there are more than 2 players, seat them in a circle.

Gameplay (Basic Version - without trump cards)

1. A player shuffles the deck and distributes 6 cards to each player face down.

2. The remaining cards are kept in a draw pile.

3. Players then place their 6 cards face up on a flat surface for personal viewing.

4. Players check the sum of their 6 cards before beginning to play.

5. Players take turns to pick a card from the draw pile and check if the card helps them get closer to the target number (40).

6. If the card helps, the player keeps it and replaces one card from their set of 6 in a separate discard pile face down.

7. If a player cannot make a move that gets them closer to the target number, they must put the card back in the discard pile.

8. All players must continue playing in sequence and resetting their six cards as needed to reach a sum of the target number.

9. To win, a player must reach the target number first and shout "Yonjuu" while revealing all their 6 cards for show.

10. If all the cards from the deck finish, shuffle the discard pile to reuse the cards to pick from.

11. If a player shouts "Yonjuu" by mistake and hasn't reached the target number, they are considered out, but the rest of the players can continue playing.

12. If no one reaches the target number with one reshuffle of the discard pile and a replay, the player with the highest sum wins.














Variations

The game can have variations like selecting higher or lower target numbers.

Target numbers could be modified and/or specific colour combinations can be used, such as a sum of 45 with no blue, a sum of 24 with only red and blue, or a sum of 30 using only green and black cards.

Alternately, 4 cards instead of 6 can be used with mathematical operations beyond addition. For example, you can make 40 with 4 cards 2, 5, 7, and 10 as follows: (10 divided by 2) + (5 times 7)

Some possible ways to make 40 using 6 cards using only addition (there are more)


10 + 9 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 3 = 40

10 + 9 + 8 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 40

10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 4 + 2 = 40

10 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 2 = 40

10 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 0 = 40

9 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 1 = 40

9 + 9 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 2 = 40

9 + 9 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 4 = 40

9 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 2 = 40

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 40

8 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 2 = 40

8 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 3 = 40

8 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 4 = 40

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 5 = 40

7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 40


Advance Yonjuu Possibilities


For advanced players, upon prior mutual agreement, several other valid mathematical operations such as mod, square root, exponent, percentages, and the like can be used. Below are just a few examples:


(10 + 10) – (0 ÷ 6) + (4 * 5) = 40

(8 * 4) + (10% of 10) + (square root of 9) + 4 = 40

(10 mod 7) * (4^2) – (5+3) = 40


Yonjuu Adaptations for Early Years


The same cards can be used to develop number sense and build numeracy in young children. Below are just a few examples:


Recognize, organize, and classify the cards on the basis of colors/shapes/numbers/magnitude.

Find two cards with a sum of 5.

Find two cards with a difference of 2.

Identify cards that make partners of 3-10.

Use any 2 or more of the 6 cards distributed in creative ways to make a number higher than 10.

Use the cards to understand place value and build numbers under 50.


Ways to Introduce Yonjuu Cards to Beginners (Pre-Game Play Tasks)


1. Let them identify the cards and their shapes and colors.

2. Give them a card. Let them identify what number comes before and what comes after.

3. Give them two cards. Ask them which one is bigger and which one is smaller. The number of shapes in the frames will help them visually understand magnitude.

4. Give them two cards. Let them build the same two cards using unifix cubes, Legos, or blocks.

5. Start giving them two cards to compare differences or sums.

All of these are standalone tasks, and one task may be focused on at a time.


If the player has progressed beyond this stage, you can move on to the next level, which looks something like this:


1. Ask them to verbally identify the partners of 10 for any card distributed. (Partners of 10 are numbers that add up to 10, such as 6 and 4, 3 and 7, as well as 5 and 3, and 2, to name a few.)

2. Another task is to randomly give them 4 cards and have them identify any two cards that have a difference of 0 (i.e., the same number but different colors).

3. Next, give them 4 random cards and ask them to identify any two cards that have a difference of 1 (e.g., 5 and 6, 8 and 9).

4. Then, have them identify any two cards that have a difference of 2 (e.g., 5 and 7, 8 and 10), and so on.

5. Arrange the cards in ascending and/or descending order.

7. Find the difference between the highest and lowest cards that were distributed.

8. Gradually introduce the concept of finding the sum of the 6 cards distributed by first identifying partners of 10 within the cards.

All of these are standalone tasks, and one task may be focused on at a time.

Her innovation in teaching math and applying it in day to day life makes it experiential and the kid is never bored of doing it again and again. Sincere thanks for all her hard work & dedication!"

Seetha Lakshmi PR

(Parent)


"Ever thought of math with a smile? I could have never, for back in my school days, math was always with tears...

Jaspreet walked into my daughter's life...our lives...a few years ago with her charming smile and her extraordinary math skills, and she changed the 'concept' of math forever.

When I see my daughter tackle math problems with ease (and with a smile), when I see her go for her math lessons all confident (and with a smile), when I see her attempting math assessments fearlessly (and with a smile), and when she walks up to us, beaming, with her math results, I am nothing but extremely grateful to Jaspreet.

Jaspreet's love for math, her dedication towards the subject, and the time and care she devotes to each one of her students are remarkable.

As her ex-colleague, I have seen how Jaspreet teaches students to 'like' math, for when they like math, they enjoy it, and then it's incredible to see how they work together to bring in excellent results.

As the mother of her student, what more can I ask for than the fact that my daughter learnt to like math, and continues to like it, just because of her?

Jaspreet is the only math teacher I have met who propagates math 'with a smile', and ensures it too.

Thank you, Jaspreet, for being there for my daughter."

Rajasree Parthasarathy

(Parent and Teacher)


"I first met Jaspreet when she was a young, bright-eyed graduate student in the math education program at Teachers College, Columbia University. When she entered my class at The School at Columbia as a student teacher we instantly connected. She was smart and we shared the same values; to always err on the side of students and to humanize mathematics by presenting conceptual and procedural skills in engaging, child-centered routines that privileged student choice and student voice. After Jaspreet left my classroom, we remained in touch. I wasn’t surprised when Jaspreet got her first job at an Upper East Side prep school in New York. Nor was I surprised at how quickly she became the math department chair at her new job. I knew that she demonstrated immense promise as a math educator, and her skill differentiating curriculum for students was outstanding. In fact, she has never wavered from her belief in empowering students to problem solve and mathematize, and it is these characteristics that distinguish Jaspreet as a mathematics teacher, thought leader, and educational consultant."

Sabrina Rainford Goldberg Ed.D.

(Middle School Math Educator and Education Consultant)

"Jaspreet is a rare gem whose ability, focus and passion for teaching math and through math teaching and helping students and teachers achieve clarity, sharpness, goal orientation is incredible. May many, many teachers and students get an opportunity to learn from her at least once."

Radha Swaminathan

(Parent and Education Coach)


"Jaspreet was able to connect instantly with my pandemic online school-hating, Math-hesitant child. She has a wonderful manner with kids, keen insight into exactly what they need and is forthcoming enough with her wealth of knowledge and resources to reassure / empower any parent however Math-hesitant they themselves may be. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to help their kids develop a love for (or at least a lack of fear of) Math."

Mallika Sasikumar

(Parent)


"I am writing to highly recommend Ms. Jaspreet as a fantastic math teacher. I’ve had the pleasure and joy of working along her in Trio World Academy. She is organised, practical, and a driven teacher that inspires her students and supports their goals each day. She was my son’s math teacher in grade 7 and has also taught him high school math which helped him in gaining confidence to adjust with the math curriculum in Dublin, Ireland. Jaspreet has developed an excellent rapport with my son as he always feels free in contacting her to discuss and understand math. I loved her ability to communicate positively with students and her talent of making even math so enjoyable and understandable, something which reflected in the high grades of my son. Jaspreet’s commitment to innovation and thinking outside the box, combined with her positive attitude, makes her a brilliant teacher of mathematics."

Nitu Arora

(Parent and Teacher)


"Jaspreet has a deeply cultivated or intuitive ability to observe people/students with a warm heart, and with keen sharp eyes to see what is going on within someone's mind. Utilizing these assets, she taught mathematics to all kinds of leveled students. Sometimes she was making devices to show her students, other times she was helping her students sitting together on the floor of the corridor. Her strong and convincing voice echoed on the corridor even she was trying to whisper. Very inventive and flexible to escort her students to follow math principles and to solve questions and problems. She was highly respected and loved by all the students and all the members of our school."

"Math with a Smile aptly describes what Jaspreet has to offer and makes you curious to find out how this difficult subject can be made interesting! Teaching math never sounded so easy and fun till I attended her presentation Math for Littles. The ideas were umpteen and the material used were things we have easy access to. She embellishes the basic concepts with simple situations in our daily life, for the child to learn effortlessly. Proud to know you Jaspreet and will continue learning from you, as you have so much to offer!"

Poonam Sethi

(Educator)


"I have been with Jaspreet for a few years now and am extremely grateful to her for making Math not only enjoyable for my child but also understanding individual needs. Heartily recommend this wonderful teacher to all that will cross her path. A good teacher is a rare find and one that can come down to the child’s level and then ignite the students interest is just amazing!! The student would be most fortunate to find Jaspreet."

"Jas - you are one of the most wonderful teachers I have met in my life. You put in so much effort in every session. Every sentence you say is so well thought of. There is a lot of practicality in what you say, do and teach. I admire your patience and your passion for your work. You do so much homework for our child. I feel I got exactly what I needed by connecting with you. We are really blessed to have a teacher like you in our lives. It's always painful to say bye to you after each session. I feel I can endlessly listen to you. You are that knowledgeable and the way you present it is very appealing. Hats off to your work. May you bring out the best in many more children. All the very best and good luck for all your future endeavors."
