How to improve the math scores of underachievers on a large scale is an urgent task for current math educators. I think that only by fully understanding students, striving to create a good learning environment for students, entering students' hearts and communicating with students emotionally can the math scores of underachievers be greatly improved.

First, understand the actual situation of students.

Teaching is a * * * activity of teachers and students. Teachers play a guiding and organizing role in teaching, and students play a main role. Only when teachers' guiding and organizing roles are combined with students' main role can they produce good results. Therefore, in order to achieve good results, teachers must fully understand the actual situation of students, so that teachers and students can successfully complete their teaching activities. There are always several or a dozen middle school students in the class who fail every exam. Students generally have a sense of fear about the difficulties in mathematics learning, while others completely lose confidence. In addition, most students nowadays are spoiled and have a strong sense of self-centeredness, so they are not disciplined, do not study hard and do not like to use their brains. In view of this situation, the first step to help them learn math knowledge well is to cultivate students' interest in learning.

Second, cultivate students' interest in learning

Confidence, will and interest play an important role in people's cognitive activities. In learning, interest is a fierce and lasting motivation. Only when students love mathematics can they have a positive and lasting enthusiasm for learning. Ancient psychological theory: "If you are not interested, you will not be willing to learn." So, how can we make students have a strong interest in mathematics?

At the beginning, the first and second classes can give students some basic requirements for learning junior high school mathematics, and can also briefly introduce the history of mathematics development, tell the story of mathematician Hua, and so on, especially tell students some interesting math problems. For example, the teacher can ask students to draw a line segment at will, and the teacher can accurately divide it into several equal parts. After listening to this, the students were very interested and told the teachers how much weight they wanted to share. The teachers scored quickly and accurately, and the students agreed that it was amazing. At this time, you can tell the students that what you use here is only the theorem of parallel lines and other line segments to learn, and inspire them to learn mathematics well as long as everyone works hard. In this way, while arousing students' curiosity, we should grasp students' psychological characteristics, seize the opportunity, make the classroom vivid and easy to understand, make most students understand, make them feel that learning mathematics is not difficult, and gradually restore and cultivate their confidence and interest. All these will play a great guiding role for students to learn mathematics well in the future.

Third, strict requirements, layers of knowledge.

In mathematics teaching, although the first step of students' interest in learning has begun, it is necessary to cultivate their correct learning attitude in order to ensure their enthusiasm for learning to continue to play. Because students' lazy thought of "finally relieved" has not been lifted in time after entering middle school, it is inevitable to relax their requirements during the learning process, resulting in a lack of knowledge. The teaching process is a systematic process, and each link of completing a certain teaching task has its own contradictions and particularities. Therefore, the assessment and evaluation of academic performance has become an important link in teaching work, which is of great significance to improving teaching quality. Because of checking and evaluating students' academic achievements, teachers can understand their own teaching effect, sum up experience, improve teaching in time and continuously improve teaching quality. For students, it can promote them to review their lessons, consolidate and deepen the knowledge and skills they have learned, understand their progress and shortcomings in their studies, make clear the direction of their efforts, and constantly improve their level. For parents, they can know their children's learning situation in time, so as to cooperate with the school in education, promote students to be strict with themselves in learning, and ensure every knowledge at all levels.

Fourth, train students step by step.

On the basis that students gradually become interested in mathematics and attach importance to mathematics, one of the tasks of teachers is to keep students' interest in learning, which is also the key to a teacher's teaching success.

While giving students new lessons, we should also pay attention to making up lessons, deepening and reviewing what students have learned in the past. In this regard, students must be trained step by step so as not to dampen their enthusiasm for learning. First, give students a five-minute quiz in each class. Quizzes are basic and difficult, and they are basically examples or exercises from last class. In this way, as long as they listen carefully and practice seriously, they can achieve satisfactory results and review and consolidate. Because only in this way can students strengthen their confidence in their abilities and make themselves feel that they are not bad at learning. Then after giving a new class, the difficulty will gradually deepen in training.

In the process of training, praise should be given to students who have completed on time and excellently, even if there is little progress, so as to stimulate students' interest in learning and let all students feel the joy of success and continue to struggle with confidence. After that, they will teach students some learning methods, and often use famous sayings such as "Genius is 99% sweat", "Diligence can make up for it" and "Life is not always smooth sailing, but you can't temper people with smooth sailing, so you should persevere in everything" to encourage them to establish confidence in learning mathematics well, and cultivate students' various abilities on this basis. In addition, special attention should be paid to the educational principle of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude".

Fifth, teach students in accordance with their aptitude and do a good job in counseling.

Due to various objective reasons, as well as differences in students' learning foundations and interests, polarization exists in almost every class. How to solve this problem? I think it is better to adopt this method, and arrange thinking questions for gifted students every day to let students think. For underachievers, it is mainly to give them individual counseling, correct homework or quizzes face to face, point out or guide them to find mistakes and analyze the reasons for them. In particular, let underachievers build up confidence in learning mathematics well, and affirm and praise their little progress. When they can't reach the expected goal, they should give careful guidance and enthusiastic encouragement until they meet the requirements, so as to eliminate the pain of students' failure and their inferiority complex, which can greatly improve the learning interest and enthusiasm of underachievers.

Sixth, do a good job in emotional communication with students.

Teachers are the source of rich and complicated emotional phenomena in teaching, but this is different from textbooks, which are things, while teachers are human beings, living, flesh-and-blood and emotional people. He not only has certain emotions, but also can accept external emotional stimuli and exert emotional influence on his classmates around him. At the same time, because teachers are the organizers and instructors of teaching activities, their dominant position determines that teachers, as the source of emotions, have a greater dynamic role in the emotional activities of the whole teaching. Love of the subjects taught. Teaching is not an abstract activity, but a very specific activity. Teachers should sincerely love their subjects and learn while teaching, "never tire of learning and never tire of teaching". With regard to students' feelings, teachers and students will inevitably form certain interpersonal and emotional relationships in the same teaching activity, and they should have a particularly profound feeling for students from the responsibility. Meet students' attachment needs in teaching: In school, students not only expect teachers to teach them knowledge and skills, but also expect teachers to give them care and love like their parents. To meet the needs of students' respect in teaching, especially the backward students in mathematics, they are often the destroyers of classroom discipline. At this time, we should pay more attention to the artistry of criticism: respect students' self-esteem, pay attention to equal teaching, implement the spirit of "learning from each other's strengths", and never "condescend" and put on a preaching face. In teaching management, we should pay attention to protecting students' self-esteem. In the process of teaching management, in order to maintain teaching order and serious classroom discipline, we must stop, correct or punish some illegal behaviors, which often conflict with students. In this case, the teacher should keep a clear head and aim at the students' illegal behavior, not the students who violate the discipline. We should punish violations according to principles, but we should still safeguard students' self-esteem.

In fact, the transformation and improvement of underachievers can never be immediate, and a lot of detailed education work is needed. I always believe that only students who are "close to the teacher" will "believe in it", and emotional communication with students is the key to solving problems. Therefore, through hard work, we will certainly achieve results in improving the math scores of underachievers in a large area.
