As a liberal arts mother, my math is no ordinary scum. I once chatted with a friend who is a preschool teacher. Speaking of my worry, I'm afraid that Eva has inherited my genes, and it will be very painful to learn math in the future. My friend told me that no one is born bad at math, and children's sense of number should be cultivated and inspired from an early age. I said that I would let Bauer learn to count from today, and my friend's face was covered with black lines. Don't force children to memorize. It doesn't matter if he doesn't learn well. If the baby becomes as afraid of counting as you are, it will not be worth the loss. Then he changed hands and sent me a program of children's mathematics enlightenment. After reading it, I arranged several table games for children in' math sensitive period'. Let's have a look!

How important is mathematics?

Anyone who has experienced the college entrance examination knows that mathematics is an absolute sub-item. But it's also a nightmare for some people, like me. Even now, I often wake up in the nightmare of the college entrance examination math paper. Even if we don't want to admit it, children who are good at math have high IQ. In addition to the advantages of taking exams, mathematics is a systematic way of thinking and the ability to solve problems by using reason and logic. Simply put, laying a good foundation for a child is equivalent to giving him a tool that can be used.

Why should children be enlightened in mathematics?

When it comes to giving math enlightenment to a 2-year-old baby, many mothers will ask, is it necessary? Just teaching counting. It's not that hard. Or does a mother who is good at math feel that she was not enlightened when she was a child, not a bully? In fact, children's mathematics enlightenment does not require them to learn much knowledge, but to master the way of thinking in mathematics, that is, to gain a sense of number. Just as learning English requires a sense of language, learning mathematics also requires a sense of numbers. Generally speaking, children's mathematical sensitivity range is different, from the early age of 3 to the late age of 10. But it is usually before the age of 5, so it is very important to grasp the sensitive period for the enlightenment of number sense.

Mathematical enlightenment in table games

Dewey, a great educator, said that education is life. The same is true of mathematics enlightenment. Because mathematics is highly abstract, if it is just boring input, let alone children, we are all bored. Only by putting enlightenment in the life situation can the baby get a sense of numbers and feel the charm of mathematics in play. This is why we play math games with our baby at the dinner table.

One, count.

1, let the children count how many people eat before eating, and help the adults to take the corresponding number of tableware.

2, when eating eggs for breakfast, you can let the children distribute eggs.

3. When the child is bored, you can increase the difficulty and visually see how many people there are and how many eggs there are.

Game goal: to establish the corresponding relationship between number and quantity, and the direct perception ability of small sets.

Suitable age: about 2 years old

2. compare it.

At the dinner table, we began to compare the sizes of bowls and spoons, the size of cakes (the pancake master bothered) and the number of cornflakes. Until the baby breaks the bread slices into different sizes and arranges them in order.

Game goal: establish the concept of how many, how big and how full.

Suitable age: 2-3 years old

3, dice win the treasure

Make a big dice yourself, or a bigger game number dice. We eat melon seeds or puff cookies at home, and the number you throw out is what you can put on the plate. Children usually look at the dice numbers first, and then count their food. Ma Bao is also involved, which can also play a competitive role. Sometimes you can use it to eat more meals.

Game goal: the physical correspondence of mathematical symbols

Suitable age: about 3 years old

4. Digital license plate

This game is especially suitable for eating jiaozi. Each plate is marked with numbers, so that the baby can put some jiaozi in when he sees the date.

The enhanced version is a combination plate, adding and subtracting simple decimals.

Game goal: a simple algorithm for physical correspondence of mathematical symbols

Suitable age: 4 -5 years old

5. Food classification

Find something to grab, such as breakfast cereal, biscuits, steamed stuffed bun dishes, so that the baby can classify. Put the same kind on the same plate, and then visually check the quantity to determine which one is more. You can discuss his classification criteria with your child, such as whether you classify pasta and vegetables, color or something, and try to use as many criteria as possible.

Game objectives: comprehensive training, classification ability, visual quantity and comparison quantity.

Suitable age: about 4 years old

6, fancy pendulum plate

Fancy dishes are suitable for all two or more kinds of cooked meat or biscuits. Let the children decorate the dishes, such as a piece of beef followed by a piece of pork liver, a chocolate biscuit followed by a butter biscuit. Circulate the sequence intuitively. At first, children may make mistakes, but as they get better and better, you can add categories.

Game goal: understand the sequence.

Suitable age: about 5 years old
