In fact, this practice is not correct!
How to teach early mathematics? Parents need to do three things well!
1 Item: Understand the law of mathematics learning.
The word "early education" should be understood correctly. I don't mean to instill knowledge in children very early, but to respect the growth law of children and then guide them.
For example, a 3-year-old child, we'd better not teach him anything, but let him learn to explore by himself. For example, walking, running, jumping, falling, biting with the mouth ... these are all children exploring the world around them in their own way, and parents don't need to be too involved at all.
At the age of 4, parents can pay attention to their children's understanding of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. It would be great if children of this age could understand the five numbers 1 to 5.
How to teach children to understand? Don't call a spade a spade, but point to a candy and tell the child that it is a candy. You can also point to two apples and tell your child that they are two.
When I am 5 years old, I will teach my children the number 1 to 10. Besides, I can not only index things with my hands, but also count them in my head without my fingers.
Second: spend time playing with your children.
Parents don't have to teach their children as much as possible, but they can feel the numbers with their children. Knowing numbers requires children to understand the meaning of numbers, not to say a few blunt numbers.
Parents can play finger games with their children, or find some cubes and scatter them in front of their children, so that they can quickly count how many cubes they have. This kind of game can promote children's interest in learning mathematics.
Of course, parents and friends can also build a cube with their children in various ways, horizontally and stacked. In short, children like this little game and can also perceive the meaning of numbers.
Article 3: Don't worry, don't convey anxiety.
Mathematics early education must not be instilled. Parents should be able to make this clear! As we all know, the knowledge instilled is different from the knowledge that children explore and understand by themselves.
When the child is thoroughly familiar with the numbers 10 ~ 10, parents can tell him what is addition and what is subtraction. Besides, it means putting things together. Subtraction means removing a part from the total.
This knowledge point is not done very quickly! Take your time.
Moreover, parents can't convey their anxiety to their children, which will make them anxious and passive, and they won't feel the fun of learning mathematics at all! This needs parents to do!
Mathematics early education needs time, companionship and patience.
