The development of children's mathematical cognition is a complex process, involving many factors, including perceptual ability, practical ability, logical thinking and so on. How to help children better understand and learn mathematics is the focus of kindergarten and parents.

1, to cultivate children's spatial perception:

Spatial perception ability is an important basis for children to learn mathematics, including the cognition of shape, size and position. Parents and teachers can let their children observe and compare objects of different shapes and sizes through games, objects and pictures. And let children experience the directions and ways of various movements in the game, so as to deepen their understanding of the concept of space.

2. Strengthen the connection between daily life and mathematics;

Mathematics can be seen everywhere in life. Integrating mathematical elements into daily life can let children naturally contact and master some mathematical knowledge. For example, when the weather changes, encourage children to record outdoor temperature changes; At the time of breakfast preparation, match different tableware and food to let children perceive and understand the concept of size comparison.

3, advocate doing math games:

Math games can stimulate children's interest and strengthen their thinking and exploration of mathematics. These games can include counting, sorting, shape and size comparison, etc. In the game, children can not only learn math knowledge and skills, but also experience the happiness brought by the exploration process.

4. Pay attention to the cultivation of mathematical language;

Mathematical language is inseparable from the cognition of concepts. Teachers and parents can educate their children to know and understand mathematical terms, such as numbers, addition and subtraction, size and other concepts, through daily life, games, picture books and so on. In addition, children can be guided to describe their experiences of participating in activities in mathematical language.

5, formulate appropriate learning plans and goals:

Preschool education is one of the fastest stages of children's cognitive development. Therefore, it is very important to establish a study plan suitable for children's cognitive characteristics before receiving comprehensive study. Setting specific learning goals, such as "knowing a number every day" and "completing a math game every week", can help children master basic math knowledge better.

In a word, the strategies to support children's mathematical cognitive development need the cooperation of many aspects, including parents' companionship and education, as well as teachers' guidance and teaching. In addition to the above strategies, we should also pay full attention to the degree and mode of children's mastery of mathematical knowledge, and carry out personalized special processes according to children's individual characteristics, so that children can master mathematical concepts step by step, consciously and systematically.
