The author has been engaged in mathematics teaching for many years and thinks that students are not born to hate mathematics. On the contrary, most of the students in my class are interested in mathematics, and some even dare to do math problems with the principal's political class, which makes the principal very unhappy. In many opinion polls, math teachers have become one of the most satisfied teachers. The author has several proud students every year, and their accuracy in calculation, thinking ability in solving problems, agility in thinking and richness in imagination are not under the faculty. You know, the bounden duty of a teacher is to train students who are better than themselves.
How to cultivate students' interest in learning mathematics? The following aspects are for your reference.
First, "being interested in yourself is the first condition for others to be interested." As far as I know, most junior high school math teachers don't graduate from math major, but study Chinese language and literature and teach math. Generally, it is because work needs to be organized to teach mathematics. Maybe they are not interested in math. However, I don't think it matters much. Isn't the marriage of many revolutionary predecessors organized? They live a very happy life. To teach mathematics, you must be interested in mathematics. The stories related to mathematics and many interesting mathematical problems are very attractive. Why do math teachers turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear? Math teachers often do math problems by themselves, and sometimes they can do math problems with students. A great man called mathematics "intellectual gymnastics", a general in China insisted on solving several math problems every day, and an American president personally proved the Pythagorean theorem. The math teacher himself likes and is interested in math. In the process of teaching and communicating with students, this kind of emotion will naturally be displayed, which will have a subtle influence on students.
Second, find out the reasons why students are not interested in mathematics. The right medicine.
1. Some students think that mathematics is monotonous, boring and lacking. This requires teachers to improve their teaching methods and give play to some of their own housekeeping skills. If witty and humorous language is used in lectures, then the knowledge of Chinese language and literature is not completely useless in mathematics classes. While teaching mathematics knowledge, we can tell some allusions related to it, rather than simply instilling mathematics knowledge. Even if it is related axioms and theorems, it can be illustrated by some practical examples at that time and in the local area. Teachers' teaching methods should be flexible and changeable, instead of always following a fixed pattern: "Teachers finish speaking, students practice, summarize and do their homework." The teaching form makes students feel fresh: today the teacher talks a lot, and tomorrow the students practice a lot; This course is self-study, and that course is practice while talking; Sometimes talking and laughing, sometimes serious. After eating shredded radish for a long time, I think radish slices are more delicious. If it is longer, it can be changed into diced radish.
2. Some students "retreat from difficulties" and stay away from mathematics. For various reasons, there are always quite a few students who find mathematics difficult to learn. "I don't want to learn, I don't understand." Some math teachers have done statistics: about two-thirds of students in Grade One (Grade Seven) don't understand, two-thirds of students in Grade Two (Grade Eight) don't understand, and few students in Grade One can understand. Teachers who have been engaged in mathematics teaching in rural primary schools know that "carry addition" is the first threshold for students to learn mathematics, and some students can't cross this threshold for a long time. As for the threshold of "application problem" and "fractional operation" in the future, there will be more. Imagine how difficult it is for these students to learn junior high school mathematics!
Teachers should actively guide those who have a poor foundation in mathematics and are afraid of mathematics, and should not be cynical or too hasty. First of all, we must eliminate their fears. For example: let them; Answer some simple questions, do some simple questions that have little to do with previous knowledge, help them build confidence and let them find the feeling of success; Then at an appropriate time, give them classes in an appropriate way, especially the knowledge points closely related to current knowledge; At the same time, we should pay special attention to encourage more, and praise immediately if we succeed a little. Although there will be some small mistakes in the homework and the problem solving is not standardized, the teacher can still give an "excellent" after correcting it.
Some students are not only interested in mathematics, but also in the whole study. Teachers need to be more careful and patient with such students. If they accidentally "offend" them, they simply don't study, or even throw away all textbooks and exercise books. They don't judge papers in exams and insist on "giving teachers zero points". For this kind of students, math teachers should take the initiative to make friends with them, and the emotional distance is closer. They believe in teachers, love me, love my dog, and naturally have no resistance to the lessons taught by teachers. At this time, the teacher can also tell him about the fun of learning mathematics. Sometimes, learning mathematics is just like playing cards and chess. It is a local game, such as formula transformation, geometric proof and flexible use of formulas, depending on whether you are smart or not. In this way, they will gradually become interested in mathematics. Most of these people are as intelligent as others. When they really study, they often surpass other students and even become "top students in mathematics" in the class. I met several such students, such as Zhao Huaiyu in Grade 57, Tian Zhenyu and Liu Xun in Grade 68.
4. There are still some students who think math is easy and have the idea of underestimating their enemies because of their good grades in math. For such students, teachers should also have a clear understanding, properly expose them to some thinking problems, and make them feel that learning is endless. Goldbach conjecture has not been fully demonstrated so far, and math teachers in primary and secondary schools may not be able to be solved by Marx. Tell these students clearly that what you have learned is only superficial. If you really want to learn math well, you must make unremitting efforts, never relax and never be proud.
Third, properly carry out some activities related to mathematics. For example, the special issue of mathematics; Hold a story competition dedicated to mathematicians or scientists; Open a symposium on the experience, experience and experience of learning mathematics; Measure and calculate the things around you with what you have learned; Carrying out social surveys related to the content of teaching materials, especially collecting relevant data and holding mathematics competitions, is conducive to cultivating and stimulating students' interest in learning mathematics.
