Recently, I watched a video shared by a lovely 3-year-old father.

After watching the video, I really admire the father's parenting methods.

In the video, Mengwa quickly solved the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

But the most amazing thing is that Pepe's baby is not only smart and sensible, but also has an incredible hobby, that is, learning mathematics.

How good is this baby?

Reciting multiplication formulas is as smooth as speaking.

Cubes of 2 and 3 will blurt out.

Even the fourth-grade Olympic math problems, chickens and rabbits in the same cage, arithmetic progression, and the addition and subtraction of scores with different denominators are not difficult for him.

I can't help but sigh that this is also educating children with heart. How can Pepe's father teach Pepe's math so badly?

Pepe's father explained his parents' envy and doubts.

Pepe officially began to contact mathematics when she was 3 years old.

Only eight months later, all the math problems from/kloc-0 to grade 4 were mastered by Pepe.

Pepe's father bluntly said: "My family is good at math, not by high IQ."

It turned out that he thought it was better to give correct guidance than to instill mathematical knowledge in children.

So in these eight months, he concentrated on training and cultivating an ability.

The reason why Pepe is so excellent is this ability-thinking ability.

Finally, from the training results, we can find that Pepe can solve the Olympic math problem in a few seconds, which really depends on the training of thinking ability.

Xu Senlin, a famous professor at China University of Science and Technology, once said:

Therefore, as parents, if we want to cultivate an excellent child like Pepe, the training of thinking ability is essential.

1, ask questions instead of rote learning.

Hao Fangjing mentioned that when a child doesn't know the answer, it is when his little brain begins to grow.

Pepe's father often pretends to know nothing when teaching Pepe math, so as to guide his children to think independently.

Parents can also take this kind of educational means.

You can pretend that you can't do it or do something wrong, and let the children take the initiative to correct and explain.

In this way, the child's brain has been constantly running, and the ability to exercise thinking is very high.

2. Intuitive teaching

Mathematics is a very abstract subject. Only by turning abstraction into concreteness can children really understand mathematics.

Therefore, parents must teach intuitively.

Pepe's father used painting to turn abstraction into concreteness.

Pepe began to learn these graphics as soon as she saw them.

Moreover, this teaching method will clarify children's logical thinking and help improve their thinking ability.

Step 3 train with books

Pepe's father is a senior math enthusiast.

Won the first Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition Excellence Award.

So many parents are puzzled. Without Pepe's father's math skills, is it useful to copy his experience?

Actually, of course it works. As Pepe's father said, it is not high IQ that makes children good at math.

As long as the thinking ability is well trained, our children will become excellent.

Pepe's father suggested that if some parents can't fully master these methods, they can use books to train their children's thinking.

These books are best associated with life, and there are many specific figures.

This will really improve children's thinking ability.

I combined these methods of Pepe's father to carry out experiments on my children, which really worked, so I sorted out some books, hoping to help parents and children.

1, children's whole brain thinking training (4 volumes)

Theme: thinking ability, knowledge popularization

Suitable age: 4-8 years old

The four books * * * have four themes, among which "Cool Play" takes exploring the universe as the theme, allowing children to explore the universe and understand astronomical knowledge such as the universe and galaxies.

The theme of "Curious Articles" is mathematical thinking, so that children can learn mathematical common sense such as operation, ordinal number, figure and currency.

The theme of "Creative Articles" is a journey through which children can learn about prehistoric creatures, historical civilization and other common sense.

The theme of "Happy Chapter" is scientific experiment, which can help children understand the laws and phenomena of nature and cultivate their interest in science.

2. German curious dogs learn from you (13)

Subjects: mathematical concepts, logical thinking ability

Suitable age: 0 to 9 years old

This book formulates training methods according to children's way of thinking, covering puzzle games such as mathematics, English and images, and exercises children's thinking ability in a targeted manner.

This book contains 300 kinds of pictures, which can help children gain extra knowledge about life.

This 13 volume, from easy to difficult, improves children's thinking ability according to levels.

3. Montessori early education (8 volumes)

Theme: Montessori early education, thinking ability

Suitable age: 0-6 years old

This set of books is based on Montessori's educational philosophy, supplemented by a large number of related puzzle games, to cultivate children's abilities in mathematics, social life, art, left brain, language, intelligence, feeling, right brain and so on.

Through the use of Montessori education to inspire children, stimulate children's interest in mathematics, language, art and other aspects, so as to stimulate children's thinking ability. And use educational games to exercise children's other abilities.

All the games in the book have a basic theme. For example, the theme of "dividing circle" is graphics, which exercises children's understanding of circle and the combination of logarithm.

"Knowledge should not be taught directly to children, but should guide children to discover and master it themselves."

Parents should not force their children to recite mechanically. Learning without understanding is just a fog.

Even if rote memorization will improve children's grades, it will be difficult to study without love.

For children, it is more effective to concentrate on training their thinking ability than to forcibly acquire knowledge.
