First, step by step.
Not only children, but also human beings, learning is from simple to complex, and even adults will be at a loss when they come into contact with things beyond their cognitive scope.
For children, they have just begun to contact the world, and some knowledge that is very simple for many adults is very difficult for them, especially the very abstract knowledge of mathematics, because children's abstract thinking has gradually replaced intuitive thinking since the age of seven.
Therefore, children's mathematical thinking enlightenment must start from the simplest and concretize mathematical knowledge, such as 1 biscuit, 2 biscuits. Let children experience numbers from specific things, understand the concept of numbers, and learn how much to compare.
Second, multi-angle teaching
For children's enlightenment education, it does not mean that children know this concept. Even if they have studied, they have seen such a case: a 5-year-old child gave him three strawberries, and he knew how many, but if he drew a picture, or gave him three apples and three biscuits, he didn't know it was three.
Therefore, children's enlightenment education must be multi-level and multi-angle teaching, and children should be guided to know the number 3 in different environments, such as food, toys, pictures, tools and so on.
Third, life practice.
Knowledge comes from life. In fact, all the math knowledge we teach our children has been experienced by them. What children lack is an opportunity to awaken knowledge. For parents, the most important thing is to guide them to think, experience and feel the fun of mathematics learning and the sense of accomplishment in solving problems with mathematics by using scenes in life. Only in this way can children fall in love with mathematics and learn to think.
