? Now that I have entered a large class, more and more parents will ask me, "Mr. Zhan, do they teach math addition and subtraction?" "Will they decompose?" ... to tell you the truth, I have no experience, but isn't the kindergarten curriculum dominated by games? Isn't kindergarten accumulating children's life experience? Isn't kindergarten just to cultivate children's good living habits and study habits? As for mathematical addition and subtraction, shouldn't decomposition be the content of primary school? Of course, I don't dare or have enough confidence to respond to my parents. In the final analysis, this is just a very straightforward feeling, but why, I can't explain it very specifically.

So I was lucky enough to read two books, the math taught by my mother and the math taught by my father.

I finally finished reading two books today. I am so excited that I wrote down my feelings here.

From the perspective of cognitive psychology, 5-6-year-old children are in the transition stage from visual thinking stage to abstract thinking stage. The addition and subtraction operation of 5+3=8 is a very abstract numerical symbol, which is difficult for most children to understand, so this knowledge content does not conform to children's age characteristics and thinking mode. Then what can they understand? For example, there were five children in the classroom this morning, and now there are three children. How many children are there in the classroom now? Yes, their understanding must be based on concrete things. As teachers and parents, why not follow the development characteristics of children and follow their footsteps? On the contrary, we should encourage them to stand for election.

Of course, many parents say that children should not be allowed to lose at the starting line. Children don't learn now, and they can't keep up with primary schools in the future. Then let me talk about it from the perspective of brain development and mathematical thinking development.

First of all, the peak of brain development is 0-6 years old. By the age of 6, the brain has basically developed to 90%, and the development of the brain depends on the connection and expansion of neurons. How do neurons connect and expand? This requires children's tactile learning. Children need to touch, see and feel, that is to say, to learn in life. He touched the temperature of the refrigerator, then knew it was cold and told us it was cold. The connections between the neurons of the two children are very different. Similarly, we tell children that 2+3=5 is totally different from two apples operated by children themselves. The former is passively accepted by children, or by memory, while the latter is practical operation. The operation of hands causes the brain to think, and the neurons in the brain will continue to develop.

The development of children's mathematical ability is also a process from concrete to abstract. Mathematics itself is the generalization and abstraction of specific problems, and mathematics comes from life. Children learn mathematics in life and constantly operate their feelings. More times, quantitative change will produce qualitative change, and children can slowly abstract mathematical concepts from it. This process plays a very important role in the development of children's mathematical understanding and thinking ability.

And if children remember addition and subtraction from an early age, they lack thinking. Children of the same age, or in front of friends and colleagues, will really have face. When I first entered primary school, my children would definitely get high marks in math. then what With the deepening of knowledge, children's understanding ability can't keep up, and their original sense of superiority plummets, which is another blow to children's psychology, not to mention their interest in mathematics and their future development.

Therefore, we can play math with our children in life and follow their footsteps, so that children can enjoy happiness and success at every stage.
