Counting is only a small part of mathematics enlightenment. If you are too busy teaching children to recite numbers, even if you can count to 10000 fluently, you won't become an expert in mathematics.
As the basic law of the world, mathematics is a huge system, and the corresponding mathematical enlightenment has a wide range of connotations, including: counting, geometric shape, sense of space, classification, cognitive law, measurement and so on.
The most important thing for preschool mathematics enlightenment is to make children interested in mathematics and cultivate their mathematical thinking ability. Preschool children's understanding of the world around them mainly depends on feelings and actions, that is to say, only what they can see and touch can be perceived by them. Therefore, mathematics enlightenment should start from games and penetrate into life.

Many children can count fluently from 1 to 100, but they can't count how many pieces there are. This is because counting is the result of rote memorization, and he doesn't understand the true meaning of numbers. To understand the meaning of numbers, it is necessary to establish a one-to-one relationship between numbers and objects.
When going up the stairs with children, count the steps "1, 2, 3, 4 ..." and walk; When shopping in the supermarket, ask the children to help with two tomatoes; There are guests at home. When eating, let the children count how many people there are and need to take out several pairs of chopsticks. ...
Only when there are numbers corresponding to physical objects can children establish an abstract concept of numbers.
When playing with building blocks, take out the building blocks one by one and count them in sequence, such as "Baby, look, mom takes out a building block", "Mom takes out another building block, and now there are two", "There are four building blocks outside, and mom takes out another one, which is five" and "There will be five building blocks outside, and mom takes away 65433". After building the building blocks, count the floors with your children and use your fingers to build the blocks layer by layer ... which can also make your children feel the changes in numbers.
This kind of physical counting (stairs, tomatoes, people, chopsticks, building blocks, etc. ) is to turn numbers into things that children can see and touch. Keep fighting. One day, if you ask your child how many pieces there are, he can tell you how many pieces there are by counting them, and that is to understand the meaning of numbers. This kind of counting is meaningful.
Number two? geometrical shape
For children, the best way to enlighten geometry is to play with various building blocks. Generally speaking, building blocks with cognitive functions basically have standard geometric shapes, such as rectangles, squares, circles, triangles, etc ... With building blocks, children can understand the characteristics of different geometric shapes.
For children, there is no need to recite abstract definitions of geometric shapes, as long as they really feel these shapes with their eyes and hands.
