So, how should we bring mathematics into our lives?
1、? Learn numbers in chat
1-2 years old is the primary stage of children's language development. At this stage, children are very willing to learn and imitate, and are very interested in their parents' language, emotions and expressions.
Therefore, from about 2 years old, parents can consciously add digital descriptions and expressions when talking to their children.
For example:
"The three of us went out together."
"Here are two biscuits and three biscuits." etc
In the development of children's language, they may not fully understand it for a while, but children will try their best to understand and think about such a language.
If you can interact with children at the same time, they will be more interested. In this way, children's language expression ability and digital understanding ability will be gradually improved.
2. Sing children's songs to strengthen digital memory.
Children's songs are full of rhythm and sense of rhythm, and children especially like to listen to them and learn to sing along with them. Many children's songs contain digital elements, which will appear repeatedly. Learning to sing digital nursery rhymes is very effective for children to establish a "sense of numbers" and remember numbers.
For example: two tigers, counting ducks, ten little fingers, Cross Song, clapping hands and so on.
Here, with digital cards, children will be more willing to participate in it by generating more vivid and specific cognition through cards.
3. Practice points with games
It is a child's nature to be fun and active. It is also a "gamification" teaching method that He Laoshi has always advocated to let children "play mainly and learn while playing". There are many interactive parent-child games in life.
For example, divide beans.
Put red beans and soybeans in a bowl, take two empty baskets, and let the children help divide one point. Put all the red beans in one basket and the soybeans in another basket.
After the child finishes sorting, you can ask the child, "How many red beans and how many soybeans are there? Which bowl has more beans? How much more beans are less than beans? " Wait a minute.
In life, there are many similar games, such as building blocks and counting how many blocks a tower needs; How many pieces are there in each color? Take the elevator and count the floors of the building. How many times did you stop in the middle, and so on.
Step 4 Use your fingers or teaching AIDS
Children's cognitive development is a process from concrete to abstract. Therefore, it is the most intuitive and quickest way for children to perceive abstract numbers from concrete objects.
For example, counting fingers, almost all children will have a stage to start the index number, which is actually the simplest and most convenient "finger counting", and fingers are also the most convenient "teaching aid". Through the cooperation of hands, mouth and eyes, children can simply count the points that are consistent with their hands and mouths.
In addition, there are fire sticks, cotton swabs, Lego, snowflakes and so on. Can be used as a teaching aid for children to count.
5、? Digging numbers in picture books
In children's preschool enlightenment stage, many math picture books contain elements suitable for children to learn numbers. Such as: odd funny, even discovery, disappearing half, hungry caterpillar and so on.
Hungry Caterpillar
On Monday, it ate an apple. However, I am still hungry.
On Tuesday, it ate two pears. However, I am still hungry.
On Wednesday, it ate three plums. However, I am still hungry. "
Through vivid picture book reading, interesting and fantastic stories, help children establish a "sense of number". Perceive the relationship between numbers and numbers. It not only helps to cultivate children's good reading habits, but also inspires children's mathematical thinking.
