Many parents find that mathematics is the most difficult subject to interest their children after they go to primary school. It is impossible for them to try their best to make their children interested in mathematics, and it is very difficult to make up for it. In fact, from about two years old, babies can naturally and smoothly establish mathematical concepts in life and games.

"Parents can teach their children bit by bit in daily life, so that they can learn while walking and playing. It should be noted that teaching children to learn the concept of number must be carried out step by step from easy to difficult, from concrete to abstract according to the characteristics of young children. Children over two years old know the concepts of size, numbers, time before and after, morning and evening, and space. They often draw conclusions through vision rather than calculation. " Early education experts remind parents to adhere to the principle of gradual progress, accept children's individual differences, avoid asking too much of their children, don't compare other children with their own children, and at the same time avoid going into some misunderstandings.

Myth 1: Ignore the "sensitive period of mathematics"

Children will have a "mathematical sensitive period" when they are about 4 years old, and they will suddenly have great interest in the concept, number, quantitative relationship, arrangement order and physical characteristics of numbers. And have a strong thirst for knowledge about its changes, which marks the arrival of children's sensitive period of mathematics. Grasp the sensitive period of children's development, develop and guide children's mathematical ability in time, and overcome the emphasis on knowledge and neglect of intellectual enlightenment; Give multiple numbers and ignore children's thinking and learning; Pay more attention to mechanical memory than to inspiration and guidance.

Myth 2: Learning mathematics equals learning arithmetic.

In the process of children learning mathematics, many parents are often divorced from the real purpose and significance of children learning mathematics. Some parents think that the more you teach, the better, and teach mathematics as dead knowledge. Some parents think that the number of children should be less than 100, and the formula should be memorized and added and subtracted. In fact, the significance of learning mathematics lies in training children's thinking ability and cultivating their logical reasoning ability.

The main contents of children's mathematics should include: helping children understand the concept of numbers, knowing simple geometric shapes, learning the time-space relationship of things, and some simple mathematical operation skills (such as natural measurement). These aspects are both important and indispensable. While developing children's logical thinking, they should develop their observation, attention, memory and spatial imagination.

Myth 3: Mechanical training, memory formula Mechanical training can make parents see obvious effects in a short time. On the surface, the child can indeed master some specific mathematical knowledge, but his thinking structure has not changed, which means that the child has not got substantial development.

Learning mathematics lies in understanding, so that children can truly understand the relationship between numbers and master the concept of numbers. When children are learning mathematics, they must present abstract mathematical knowledge to children with the help of materials, so that they can easily understand and master it. Hands-on operation is an important way of children's mathematical thinking. Therefore, in daily life, parents should be good at combining all kinds of small things in life and seize the opportunity to educate their children.

I warmly remind:

Using family math games skillfully, let the baby learn math easily.
