First, cultivate quantitative thinking.
Quantitative thinking includes singing, counting and measuring.
Singing number refers to the reading and writing of numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; Counting means that children can know exactly how many, such as "1 hands have 10 fingers". Both parents tend to pay more attention to these two kinds. However, another kind of thinking training-measurement, including the perception of scales, weights and other units, is often ignored.
"Some people know the weight of something as soon as they mention it" refers to the ability to measure. Parents can ask their children to measure the length, width and height of the table with a ruler when they are young.
Second, cultivate computational thinking.
How to cultivate mathematical thinking in primary school? Teaching children to learn addition and subtraction by snapping their fingers is indeed a way to cultivate computational thinking, but it is not enough. When calculating, children must understand, not memorize.
For example, you have five apples and dad has two apples. How many more apples do you have than dad? If you give your two apples to your father, how many do you have left? Although subtraction is used, the former is comparative and the latter is residual. It is not the most important thing for parents to help their children understand the difference between the two.
Third, cultivate classified thinking.
In order to cultivate children's mathematical thinking, the cognition of classification needs attention.
For example, apples and pears are fruits, which are classified into one category; The red table and the yellow chair are all furniture. But change this classification; Apples and red tables are red; Pears and yellow chairs are yellow. This is the diversified classification, which can better exercise the clarity of children's thinking.
Fourth, how to cultivate mathematical thinking in primary school? Set is a very important concept and commonly used property in mathematics learning. Pay attention to cultivating children's collective thinking.
For example: Dad has 10 apples, you have 8 apples, and Dad and your candy each have a set. If you compare the two groups and subtract them, you can get that Dad has more candy than you. When children perceive sets, they can analyze the correlation or complete difference between the two sets, which is also helpful for classification.
Fifth, cultivate time thinking.
In addition to reading the time on the clock, it is more important to let children perceive the time. If you know that it takes 30 minutes to do something, let him feel how long 30 minutes is.
