Not necessarily! Many children count mechanically. They learn to count from 1 to 100 when they listen to children's songs or their grandparents recite them every day, but when asked how long a simple 4+5 is, the children will be at a loss.
1, basic counting method
Children learn to count first, which is a foundation and can be realized in the following ways:
Ps: I remember the nursery rhymes of my son when he was a child: one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, and finally I was counted to sleep.
2. Teaching in kind.
Physical teaching can let children directly perceive what numbers are, not empty voices.
For example, after buying oranges, put them on the table and give them to the children with your own fingers, or hold the children's small hands and point to the corresponding objects and say: 1 orange, 2 oranges, 3 oranges. Count it like this and ask the child: How many oranges did Mom buy?
When children can already count, they can be trained intentionally on weekdays: give two melon seeds to their mother and three grapes to their father, so that children will have the most intuitive impression of numbers and objects.
3. Practice the countdown with a ruler.
When my son was a child, we played with two rulers. That ruler is a standard ruler for primary school students. It is a number from 0 to 15. The advantage of a ruler is that it can be carried anywhere at any time. You can take your child out to play at any time and count it in the car. Train your child to count from 0 to 15, and then count back to 0 from 15. With this ruler, children find it not difficult to count and count down, because it is intuitive. Just look at the ruler. With visual memory and sequential memory, children will soon learn to recognize numbers and count down.
4, compare the size, classification and other games with playing cards.
Playing cards are also digital props suitable for children.
How many kinds of playing cards are there, such as:
5. Tell children the five basic principles of counting.
The reason why children can count, but they can't add and subtract, is because they don't know some principles of counting. Parents often think it is very simple from the perspective of adults, but it is really not simple for a blank child.
The five counting principles that children need to master are:
① One-to-one correspondence principle: When counting, children should learn that each item corresponds to a number;
② Ordering principle: 1, 2, 3 ... are fixed orders in the counting process;
3 radix principle: many children don't understand addition and subtraction because they don't understand radix principle, which represents the number of elements contained in this set when the index reaches the last number;
④ Principle of order independence: that is, the number of a set has nothing to do with where to start counting;
⑤ Abstraction principle: The principle of counting can be applied to anything.
For example, some children need to calculate 6+7. When parents put a bunch of 6 grapes and another bunch of 7 grapes together and ask for children, they often count to 6 from the beginning and then to 13. At this time, they can tell him that when you count the first bunch of six grapes, you don't need to count them any more. You can directly add the numbers from another grape, 7, 8, 9, 63.
This is the most important principle.
1-2 years old, belonging to mechanical memory. Children learn numbers and order mainly by listening to children's songs and adults chanting in their ears. The concept of numbers is still in a state of ignorance, and parents can use their baby's favorite food for mathematics enlightenment.
At the age of 2-3, children begin to perceive what numbers look like. When someone asks how old the baby is, he will put up two or three fingers to tell others how old he is. At this time, parents can intentionally add some enlightenment to the size and number of numbers, such as 6 to 5, a few more, and 1.
Children aged 3-6 have a clear perception of numbers, and they can also learn four apples from the real thing, take away two and leave two simple math problems.
The development of children's counting ability will go through three different stages: ① oral calculation; (2) according to the number of things say the total; In these three stages, parents need to maintain a stable mentality, not be too anxious, and try to turn their children into prodigies as soon as possible.
Can penetrate into every day of daily life, eat an apple, an orange, pick up a fallen leaf, pebbles on the road can be used to play some digital games for children at any time, so that they can study at any time in the sports school, so that learning will not be a burden!
