Teaching children to count is not as easy as it seems. Many parents often have the illusion that their children can recite numbers as fluently as they can count. In fact, it is easy for children to count from one to twenty, but when twenty objects are placed in front of them and a number is called out, children often can't count. It can be seen that letting a child make one, two or three sounds is different from teaching him to count. Only when children really master counting can they experience the fun of mathematics.

A case of establishing children's mathematical consciousness

Ding: My daughter Ding Sai is very poor at math. Almost two years old, I taught her to count, and she can count fluently to 100. I put a bunch of sweets there for her to count. When I count to 4, I will be confused and wave my hand and say, "A lot!" " "Repeatedly, you can't pass 4. I was a little anxious and thought, "What a fool!" Mrding was in no hurry. He put away the extra candy, leaving only three pieces for her to count. Playing with the three pieces of candy in front of me and counting it three times repeatedly, the game was in a hurry. "Where is the fourth piece? "In this way, successfully broke through the physical inventory.

When I was 3 years old, Mrding and I further used the prices and figures that she was particularly interested in to guide her calculation. The first step is to teach her, "Dad bought a watermelon and Mom bought a watermelon. How many * * *? The three of us ate one. How many are left? " Equal addition and subtraction; The second step is to teach her to recite "career"; The third step is to teach her the application of multiplication. "Twenty cents a catty, four catties a watermelon, how much is a * * *?"

When Ding Sai was 6 years old, she went to the farmer's market with me to buy food. She saw a little girl her age standing in front of the food stall, busy with her mother. I picked four cucumbers and put them on the scale. I saw the girl fiddling with her weight and told me, "Auntie, 2 kg 4 Liang, 4 kg 1 kg, 1 * * 9.6 kg." I gave her a dollar, and she quickly found a coin and handed it to me: "I'll charge you 1 and give you 4 cents." From now on, whenever I buy food, I will take Ding Sai to the little girl. Inside and outside the food stalls, who can calculate the competition between two girls quickly and accurately?

Since then, Ding Sai has developed a strong interest in accounting. No matter what I bought from the store, Ding Sai scrambled to ask the price, calculate the total, and then asked me if I was right. Sometimes I secretly increase the difficulty, and she enjoys it. After school, her special interest in mathematics was even more aroused. She took the initiative to pick out a special math book from "100,000 Why" and calculate one question at a time. The analysis and calculation results of application problems are more and more accurate.

Trilogy lets the baby learn to count.

Teach your baby to learn to recite: When the baby can't speak, you can recite it to him by doing baby exercises and going upstairs for several steps. You can also read him children's songs about the sequence, such as "One, two, three, four, five, shooting tigers up the mountain ...". You can clap your hands when reading. This rhythmic recitation song can help the baby learn to count quickly. 1 year and a half, the baby should be officially allowed to learn the number 1- 10, and can count to 50 or 100 when he is 3 years old.

The key here is the problem of decimal 10, that is, the difficulty of digital memory. Let the baby learn to recognize the number 1-9 and write it on the big card in order. When carrying "turn", point to the number to carry, and then read it out. You can also read "18,19,20" repeatedly; Or "28, 29, 30", "38, 39, 40"; And so on. Once the difficulty of turning over and carrying is overcome, the baby can count from 1 to 100 smoothly.

Teach your baby to have the same number of hands and mouths: Before learning to have the same number of hands and mouths, you need to let him establish some "pre-counting concepts" in the game, such as sorting items, distinguishing sizes, queuing in order, etc.

You can play these games:

1. Train building blocks are arranged one by one into carriages. This is one of the bases of counting.

2. Picture Solitaire lets the baby pair and arrange the pictures with the same pattern.

3. Put the bowls in order of size and practice classification.

4, learn to recognize "as many" put 1-2 pieces on the table, so that the baby can take out as many pieces.

5. According to the number of things in a row of building blocks, let the baby take out 1, 2, 3 to see if he is right. The last step is to teach the baby to count and say "one * * *". It is not easy for a baby to figure out what "a * * *" means. You should study step by step, one step at a time. A three-year-old baby should be able to count 10- 12.

Learn the decomposition and combination of counting: put three pieces of candy on the table, let the baby count first, let him take one, and then ask him how many pieces are left on the table. He can count and say "two dollars". "How many pieces are there in a * * *?" (Put the sugar and the rest in his hand) "Three pieces". Let the baby take two more pieces and ask him how many pieces are left. How many pieces are there altogether?

Then, you can ask him to give you candy. As a result, one piece for each of mom, dad and baby became three pieces. Gradually, the baby will understand that 3 can be divided into "1" and "2", "2" and "1", and three 1. This is actually doing addition and subtraction within 3. Only by learning the decomposition and combination of numbers can we really grasp the concept of numbers.

The game lets the baby count in the happy middle school.

Simple games can help improve your baby's learning ability. Let's learn to count with the baby!

Digital songs

Suitable age: 1.5 years old

How to play: Sing songs with numbers with children, such as "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, where is my friend?" Or read a formula with numbers together, such as "a finger, a finger, changed and became a caterpillar." Two fingers, two fingers, changing, becoming a white rabbit. Three fingers, three fingers, change, change, become a kitten "(this formula can read ten fingers).

Remarks: This game mainly learns to count through the cooperation of music, body and language.

Count and feel.

Suitable age: 2 years old

How to play: Anything that children can touch at home, such as toys and fruits. , you can let the children touch and count at the same time, or you can put some cards beside them.

Remarks: This game concretizes abstract numbers. When the baby is older, it can be extended to do addition and subtraction.

Divide fruit

Suitable age: about 2 years old

How to play: put several kinds of fruits on the same plate at the same time, and let the children classify them according to different "attributes" such as color, size and shape.

Remarks: the baby's classification ideas may be more unconstrained, so it is not necessary to be too demanding, and it is not necessary to correct it from the perspective of adults.
