Thinking ability training
1. Core principles of early childhood education
The younger a child is, the weaker his thinking ability is, and his cognition and short-term memory are relatively poor.
Constantly instilling new and more knowledge points into children is far less than overlapping games, expanding training, understanding the same knowledge point from multiple angles and inspiring children's thinking.
The advantage of this early education concept is that
① Don't study ahead of time, and don't bring "learning" pressure to children too early, so that children will lose interest.
Reviewing knowledge points repeatedly, constantly training thinking ability and injecting powerful mathematical factors into children's brains are also the most essential basis for learning any other subject in the future.
2. Specific learning methods
Let's take the "recognition" that parents are most concerned about as an example to explain it in detail!
Refer to the picture below: There are three kinds of flowers in the flower bed. Let the children count how many flowers there are of each kind, and then draw a corresponding number of small circles below. Finally, say their number.
Note: Let children "draw a small circle" instead of writing numbers, because "drawing a circle" is an interesting and concrete picture for children, just like "counting flowers".
Figurative and games come first, abstraction and numbers come last, which is a learning method that conforms to children's cognition!
Refer to the picture below: Let the children count several small animals sitting at each table. If every small animal needs to eat a biscuit, think about whether there are enough biscuits.
Parents can also prepare some small stickers in advance, so that children can change the number of cookies they lack into stickers of small animals.
Note: In fact, the knowledge of "addition and subtraction" has been mixed, but in the game, parents don't have to emphasize abstract computing concepts such as "5-2=3" to their children. Instead, use stickers to let children feel "how much is 2 less than 5" and "how much is 2 plus 5".
These thinking processes are an important process for children to gradually establish their own complete thinking mode.
Many parents said that their children quickly learned the points of "1- 10" or even "1-20", but they easily missed the ability to expand their thinking and understand mathematics beyond counting.
Remember, in the early mathematics education syllabus, children aged 3-4 only need to know "1, 2,3,4,5".
Parents may wish to use the method I said today to let their children thoroughly understand and learn every number!
Cultivate your baby's cognitive ability
● Differentiate gender-in daily speech, you are often instilled in your baby that "you are a man and your father is also a man"; When talking about the picture album, point to the person who tied the braid and say "Xiaohong is a woman, and her mother is also a woman", and then let the children tell their own gender, the gender of their parents, and then extend it to others.
● Let children establish the concept of numbers in the following order in the game, understand the meaning of numbers, exercise and develop children's abstract thinking ability, and cultivate children's mathematical logic ability.
● Count 1-10-The number of children's meetings before they are 2 years old 1-5, and they will count from1to10 after they are 2 years old. Teach children to recite in order, and then recite 1 1-20 after they finish. At this time, although the child does not understand the meaning of numbers, it can help him understand and remember the order of numbers and prepare for taking numbers according to numbers.
? Consistency between hands and mouth-when children start to point to objects, there will be many inconsistencies between hands and mouth, such as slow mouth, a quick Aauto, missing number, repeated number, countdown and so on. At the beginning, when teaching children to count, we should demonstrate first, so that children can learn to say 1 with their forefinger pointing to one building block and 2 with their fingers pointing to two building blocks, so that their hands and mouths are consistent and they can gradually understand the meaning of 1 and 2. The consistency of hand and mouth is a key step in the development of counting ability, which needs repeated practice. There are opportunities to practice counting at any time in life, such as counting buttons when wearing clothes, counting cars when going to the street, counting bowls and chopsticks at the dinner table, fully mobilizing sensory organs such as vision, hearing and touch, and establishing the concept of counting.
? Pick by number-train children to pick by number on the basis of consistent hands and mouths. Say "give me an apple" and "give me two apples" to your child and practice until 4.
? Compare the size of numbers-after the child successfully takes something with numbers, let him look at the real thing and ask him, "Which is bigger, 1 or 2?" Prompt the child to say 2 big, and then inspire him that 2 is greater than 1.
● Length-Children have been exposed to the concept of length since childhood, such as the elephant's nose is long and the rabbit's tail is short. After 2 years old, make a comparison with the real thing to let him understand the length. For example, two rulers, one long and one short, let the children point out which one is long and which one is short, and constantly strengthen the concept of length.
● Up and down-often use up and down directions when talking to children. For example, "put a doll below and a handkerchief above; Put the newspaper on the table, put the slippers under the table and so on. Understand through the language of life.
● Before and after-tell the child to put the doll in front, put his hands behind his back, and act while talking. When going out for activities, say to the baby: "Dad goes ahead, mom and baby go behind."
Left and right-when a child learns to use chopsticks, let him know that the hand holding chopsticks is the right hand, and ask him to raise his right hand, and he will raise his right hand without hesitation. When the concept of the right hand is consolidated, the right leg and the right foot can be recognized. The left limb is the corresponding side, so it is easy to distinguish memory.
● Visualization of word recognition-teach children to recognize the numbers of 1, 2,3 and simple Chinese characters. Children mainly remember in images, and proper visualization of words can help them remember, such as "2" like a duckling. Make learning to read as interesting as possible and improve children's interest in learning.
● Know the occupation-after two and a half years old, children can accurately describe where their parents go to work and what they do, and also know the occupations of other people in the family. When reading the picture album, they will also point to the characters in the book and say, "This is the police uncle and that is the nurse aunt."
● Know the address-3-year-old children can remember and say the home address. Learn the building number and house number at first, and then go to the community and street specifically, so that children can fully describe their home address.
Identify different colors and geometric figures-continue to consolidate color learning through actions, such as letting children get their own yellow coats when going out and praising them for getting them right. "Put on blue shoes" and ran to the shoe cabinet to take out the shoes and put them on. 3-year-old children can recognize 5-6 common colors. Can recognize geometric figures such as triangles, rectangles and circles.
Rebellion period
After the age of 2, the originally well-behaved child suddenly became disobedient, saying "no" to everything and letting him sleep, he would say "no sleep"; Tell him to eat, and he says "no". It seems that he intends to confront his parents. These manifestations show that children have entered a "resistance period" during their growth. The resistance period is the stage when children's psychology gradually matures and their sense of independence begins to sprout after they are 2 years old. With the development of the body, children can walk around barefoot according to their own wishes, and psychologically they begin to have a strong sense of getting rid of bondage and expressing themselves. So he often blurts out "no" to the demands of adults. In fact, he doesn't care what adults say, just want to say "no" For children in the period of resistance, never take a simple and blunt "no, no" education method to inhibit brain development. The more you force your child to do what you think he should do, the more rebellious he is. We should realize that a child's disobedience is not against himself, but an episode in his growth. Correct guidance will enable him to survive the Anti-Japanese War smoothly. Don't ask children questions that can be answered with "no", such as "Do you drink water now?" When the child says "I don't want it", don't be surprised, try to meet the child's requirements and divert attention. The next time you encounter a similar situation, you should say, "Baby, it's time to drink water."
Let the children find their own way.
