Some who are visual may need to see it to work through it. Out of the two, I would definitely choose someone enjoying it over the method that they did it.

You have talked before about how your kids do mental math. Tigger was taught math in school and is great at pencil and paper addition and subtraction. But when I watch her calculating angles for the geometry we are doing now, I am stunned that she really prefers to write it down to calculate it. I would love to get her doing more in her head but am not going to push it now. We are just getting to the point where she is realizing that figuring this stuff out is fun. I second your suggestion.
