As parents, we should try our best to create a good environment for children to cultivate mathematical thinking. I think it's a good choice to apply for extra-curricular classes on the premise that children are willing to learn. My child has a classmate who has been studying Olympiad since the second grade of primary school, and every exam is one of the best in the class. I think the reason is that the extended study after class has expanded his mathematical thinking and made his mathematical thinking ability stronger than his peers.
Second, stimulate and encourage children's interest in learning mathematics.
Einstein, a famous scientist, said that "interest is the best teacher for students". In order to make children's mathematical thinking develop by leaps and bounds, we should try our best to make children like mathematics. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate children's curiosity and exploration spirit in mathematics, encourage children's confidence in learning mathematics, and stimulate children's interest in mathematics.
Sudoku, for example, is the most popular intellectual game at present and a classic thinking ability training game. It takes numbers as the form of expression and can cultivate children's logical reasoning ability, observation, imagination, concentration and reaction speed. Its gameplay is simple and easy to use, and it can be practiced at any age and at any time, so we don't want to try to make children like it. Children can watch Super Brain, feel the charm of reading and cultivate mathematical thinking.
Third, the cultivation of mathematical thinking should be integrated into daily life.
It is necessary to combine the training process of children's mathematical thinking with their familiar daily life. For example, after learning the calculation of rectangular and square areas and combined graphics, let children use what they have learned to solve practical problems in life and calculate the living area of their two bedrooms and one living room. Let the children measure the length and width of each room and work out the total area. For another example, in the supermarket, let children calculate the total price of all items, add, subtract, multiply and divide naturally, and their mathematical ability will naturally improve imperceptibly.
Fourth, we should deliberately cultivate children's rigor.
Stiffness is an important feature of mathematical thinking ability, and parents can start from the following aspects. The first is the rigor of learning. Make a regular daily plan for children and arrange the study time scientifically and reasonably, and children will naturally develop good study habits in the process of completion. Considering the child's concentration, the study time should not be too long. After the study, you can reward your children to watch TV or play mobile games, and arrange them to do what they like, so that they will work harder. The second is the rigor of life. Your desk should be cleaned up, and everything should be put back in its original place and put in order.
