Math score = IQ?
Scientist Julian Stanley has been tracking smart children for 45 years. After counting the relevant data, he found that children's math scores are positively correlated with IQ. That is, if a child's math score is good, then the child's IQ is also high; If the child has a high IQ, his math scores are also high. Moreover, statistics show that children with high IQ tend to have high emotional intelligence, good grades and high future wages.
Think about our previous conclusion that "people with high IQ may not have high EQ" and "high EQ will affect the future". Now it seems that it is probably just a bowl of chicken soup to comfort everyone.
Last year, when I heard a professor introduce the Binet.Alfred intelligence test for children, I mentioned a case.
In this case, the child just snapped his fingers in grandma's arms and learned to count. When he was 4 or 5 years old, his parents found that his child counted very fast and was still doing mental arithmetic. The child's father was very excited. His intuition thinks that his son's IQ should be high. Later, he asked someone to test his IQ. At that time, he used the traditional Binet.Alfred intelligence test. The results show that the IQ of children is as high as 140 (at a very advanced level), and it is said that Einstein's IQ is only 146. Father was very happy, but he still couldn't believe it. Have IQ data been confirmed many times? The other party cannot say that 100% is accurate, but it is still 80%-90% sure.
The father is interested in cultivating children's mathematics. Later, the child was admitted to Tsinghua Mathematics Department with excellent results, and now he is studying mathematics research at MIT.
If the child's math performance is poor, should he give up or continue studying?
Some parents say that my child has poor math scores and is not interested in math. Should we make them give up math? The answer is no, because at present, according to China's entrance mechanism, a child giving up mathematics is equivalent to giving up learning.
In addition, the children said that the previous article mentioned that there was a "why learn mathematics" movement in the United States.
A middle school math teacher's answer was recognized by scientists. He thinks that learning mathematics can exercise people's brains. If a child learns mathematics from an early age and often deals with mathematics, then he may have more advantages than other children in the future, such as more and more flexible thinking. Even if the child's math performance is poor at first, there is still the possibility of reversal.
Speaking of which, some parents may have said that it's easy for you to say. What if the child just can't learn math well? My child is suffering from "math phobia" now, and he will be flustered and vomit before every math exam. It is true that such a poor child suffers from math.
Do smart and stupid children have a common way to learn mathematics?
/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago in Chicago, USA, washburne, a scholar, put forward "Winnie's Plan", suggesting that schools divide their learning progress according to each child's understanding of knowledge. Because of the remarkable learning effect of children, the program was all the rage, and then it was stopped because of the financial problems of the government.
Human wisdom is always so similar.
Salman khan, an Indian-American, was called the Little Prince of Mathematics when he was a child. He was the high flyers of MIT and Harvard University. Once, I helped my cousin Nadia because she didn't do well in math. After a period of tutoring, this little girl with very low self-esteem in mathematics became handy. Seeing Nadia's rapid progress in mathematics, more than 10 relatives and children rushed to Salman.
Later, in order to benefit more children, Salman established Khan Academy to provide free online courses for children all over the world. Bill Gates is also a big fan. Of course, there is more than just math in Khan Academy now.
The core idea of salman khan's teaching children to learn mathematics is to be good at mathematics learning methods, that is, if we really understand the concepts and principles of mathematics, mathematical problems can be solved easily.
The reason seems simple, but in fact, most children in China can't do it, and even most math teachers in domestic schools may not understand it. In fact, most of our children will only mechanically set formulas and use sea tactics to deal with mathematics, but they have little knowledge of the principles of formulas, and even call them "divine methods". They only know how to recite them devoutly and never dare to "blaspheme". Salman emphasized that "there are poor students and excellent students because the former fails to grasp the connection between concepts, while the latter does." Knowing this, no matter how stupid a child is, he can learn math well.
List of mathematics enlightenment before the age of 6
Is it necessary for children before the age of 6 to learn mathematics? Interested children can learn, and parents can also let their children contact through games. It is suggested that the list of mathematics enlightenment for children before the age of 6 is as follows:
1, counting fingers and family;
2. Know the house number and floor number;
3. Count from 1 to 100, and know the number from 1 to 100;
4. Educational mathematics enlightenment games;
For example, children say a free "fun-adding" game (you can find it by searching for the keyword "fun-adding", so don't play for too long to protect your eyesight).
5. Play the game of opening a supermarket with children (parents can often play with their children);
6. Give children a small sum of money and encourage them to go to the supermarket alone to buy the designated items home.
