But for parents, it doesn't matter whether mathematics dominates the universe. What is important is that mathematics dominates children's grades.
What's more, in addition to further studies, children who are good at math are also more competitive at work. The core technologies of big companies like Alibaba and Huawei are all related to mathematics.
So, what kind of children can learn math well? My son's class teacher said three characteristics. She said: Most children who do well in math have three common characteristics, and scum can't pretend.
First, it is very sensitive to numbers.
Math problems are definitely inseparable from numbers, so children who are sensitive to numbers have greater advantages in learning math.
Children who are sensitive to numbers can easily find the relationship between several numbers in math problems, calculate faster, find the law between numbers faster and remember numbers faster.
Just like Andy in Ode to Joy is a typical "sense of numbers".
In the play, when Andy plays cards with Singularity, Zhao Qiping and Qu Xiaoyu, he can win several games in a row with his strong sense of numbers, which shows his super talent in finance.
Second, strong logical thinking ability.
The reason why "life is full of mathematics" is because mathematics can answer many questions in life, because mathematics is the basic ability, and application problems are the key to high scores.
Children with strong logical thinking ability can often find solutions to complex problems in a shorter time and have the strength to see the essence through phenomena.
This ability is not something that a scum can have by brushing questions in a short time.
Third, the sense of space is better.
Psychologists at Emory University, one of the famous "New Ivy League" schools in the United States, found that when a baby is 6 months old, he can predict his future mathematical ability from his spatial consciousness.
Mathematical ability can be predicted from "spatial consciousness" because there are many geometric problems in mathematics. Needless to say, children with a good sense of space can also show no small advantage by learning a three-dimensional map.
What's more, geometry problems in mathematics can't be separated from auxiliary lines, and the sense of space is not good. Finding auxiliary lines can only be done in Mongolia!
How to cultivate children's mathematical ability?
The talent of mathematical ability is part of it, but the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is equally important. Wei Kunlin, a professor at Peking University and doctoral supervisor, said: Children are born with mathematical intuition and can be enlightened when they are 2 years old.
1, early game enlightenment
Many parents think that children aged 2 or 3 are just learning to speak. Teach him to count at most. What else can he do?
In fact, there are too many things you can do!
From the time when children can climb, parents can cultivate their children's sense of space through games such as climbing and throwing balls.
Children can play more math games when they are 2 or 3 years old. You can know the shape when playing with building blocks, try to understand the concepts of buying and changing when playing house, and understand the concepts of classification and assembly when playing cognitive cards.
As long as parents want to buy two apples, they can let their children learn to compare sizes by the way.
2, the combination of mathematics and common sense
When children are older, parents should not forget to teach them some common sense of life, such as knowing time, money and comparison.
These are not only the common sense of life, but also the basic knowledge of mathematics to be learned in the first and second grades of primary school.
If children know more about this common sense, it will be easier for them to understand problems when they encounter application problems in mathematics, and it will be easier for them to learn mathematics.
