1/ Before a class goes out for a field trip (such as going to a fire station), the teacher can take out a map, discuss the concepts of orientation and distance with the children first, and then let the children discuss how we can get there. There will be many choices at this time, such as taking the school bus, walking, taking the subway, taking the bus and so on. Choose a child, let him count the number of people who choose the school bus, then choose a number to count the number of people who choose the subway, and so on. Finally, let's discuss which means of transportation is chosen by the most people. In this small link, the mathematical points and comparisons have been covered.
2/ A class of children set up a supermarket corner in the classroom, and there will be many links involving mathematics in the course of course progress. For example, the classification and pricing of the products you buy. For example, after the opening, the children count the daily turnover. For example, in the satisfaction survey, the concept of understanding proportion can even be solved in large classes (don't underestimate children's creativity and understanding). etc
3/ A class of children made a dessert shop. From the earliest discussion of the practice of various desserts, they will design mathematics, such as how many noodles, how much water and how many eggs are needed for raw materials. In the process of opening, it will involve mathematics in all aspects, such as ordering meals, recording and checking out. The children have also formulated their own salary system, such as how much wages are deducted for not wearing uniforms, how much bonuses are given to the number of guests, and so on. It's all math.
The above cases are all from the actual cases of Jinbao International Kindergarten in Tongzhou, Beijing. The planned teaching in this school is going well. All courses are developed by teachers according to children's interests and class characteristics, and there are no hard and fast textbooks. In addition, we tourists are also surprised and worth learning.
