In other words, it may be easier for children to master math content in the lower grades, but it may be that some content in the upper grades is not suitable for them, and as a result, their math scores have dropped. The second possibility is that children don't learn math very well in the lower grades. In my senior year, I suddenly felt that I began to understand mathematics.
I remember when I was in the lower grades of primary school, I just couldn't understand math. At first, you can only calculate addition, not subtraction. Later, I had to use a wooden stick to calculate. Once when I came home from school, I wanted my mother to help me with this problem. As a result, my mother said she didn't have time and wanted to do it herself. She was unhappy, threw away all kinds of sticks, and then did it by her own feelings. Unexpectedly, when the teacher corrected it the next day, it was all right. Since then, I feel that mathematics seems to be enlightened a little.
Therefore, it is inaccurate to judge children's mathematics by grade and age. Even in junior high school and senior high school, it is not appropriate to analyze and judge with such thinking.
Second, mathematics examines children's logical thinking, and logic chaos can't learn mathematics well.
Children's thinking ability is not clear, and basic math problems may be scored, but it is difficult to score when encountering problems. But if the child has strong thinking ability, clear logic and strict step-by-step reasoning, the problem will be much easier for the child.
Moreover, when we analyze the thinking of mathematics, we will find that mathematics is to sort out the relationship, and to express the relationship between conditions by numbers and formulas, behind which is a presentation of mathematical logic. It will be very easy to master this quantitative logic, list mathematical relations and solve mathematical problems.
Therefore, it is very helpful for children to learn mathematics if they pay attention to strict logical thinking. This is why some teachers take their students to learn chess and guide them to analyze mathematics with chess thinking. In fact, this teacher is not training chess, but training children's logical thinking.
How to judge a child's strong mathematical ability?
Considering all aspects, judging whether a child's mathematical ability is strong or weak can be seen from the following aspects:
First of all, it should be a stable learning attitude towards mathematics.
Taking learning mathematics as a pleasure, you won't feel bored because of the content of mathematics, and you are willing to calm down and think about mathematical problems. This must be achieved with a stable attitude. A child is a muddle-headed, and he is a little impatient with Mao Mao in what he usually does, so he may not be able to control math problems well. The stability of mathematics mentality is actually that children are relatively stable in other aspects, otherwise it is difficult to control their learning mentality.
How to judge a person's mentality is stable? Generally speaking, we can judge from his experience. When he experienced more pain, he still didn't give up, lost his temper and cried, and he was able to cope with these setbacks calmly, so his mood was relatively stable. When he experiences a very happy and even surprising thing, he is still in a peaceful state of mind, not extremely excited or ecstatic, so his state of mind is relatively stable.
In other words, when we look at whether a person's mentality is stable, we don't mean to look at it completely from one thing, but to analyze and judge it from multiple dimensions. We can experience the test of setbacks and the sweet beating of joy. This person's mentality is really stable.
Secondly, it depends on the size and order of this person's works.
When a child does something big or small, more or less, first or later, then he will consider the order of conditions when doing math problems and analyze the relevant conditions of mathematics with corresponding logical thinking. Therefore, sometimes, children's mathematical ability is not strong, so we can test their thinking ability with some simple things to see if they are good at analyzing simple things, and then examine their logical thinking ability.
Mathematical problem, on the surface, is the relationship between calculation and quantity, but in essence, it is a kind of thinking to solve practical problems. How to solve problems in life will also verify children's thinking ability. Children who like math will also like to delve into the little things in life. How many ways can this matter be solved?
Therefore, when parents look at their children's math ability, they can test their children with practical problems at home, which will make them have a clear thinking. Mathematics is to solve problems in real life and verify their math learning effect through real life experience.
Finally, checking the effect of mathematics learning really depends on the actual learning situation of children.
In addition to learning mentality and children's ability to solve real-life problems, it is still necessary to go back to children's mathematics learning to verify whether children can really learn mathematics well. This is a very direct analysis of children's math scores and math test papers to see their habits, thinking and logic when solving math problems.
Concluding remarks
When we judge how children learn mathematics, we should make a comprehensive analysis, and don't simply judge whether children learn mathematics well by looking at which grade they are in. This is a very one-sided and inaccurate way of thinking. To look at children's math ability, we should first look at their learning mentality, then look at their ability to do things normally, and finally look at their own math learning.
