The definition of "attention" in psychology is: the direction and concentration of psychological activities on an object. That is to say, when people's psychological activities selectively point to one object and ignore the rest, this is attention. Psychological experiments show that children's attention span is short, especially the unconscious attention of junior students is dominant. Intentional attention in a class usually lasts only a few minutes, and it is also unstable. Interesting things often attract their attention. It is almost impossible for them to sit quietly for forty minutes. Only in a short time can we achieve the ideal educational effect.

Therefore, teachers should make full use of various teaching methods to concentrate students' distracted attention.

Let students master as much knowledge as possible in a limited time. How can it be?

What about attracting students' attention? I think there are mainly the following points:

1. Combination of movement and rest.

The rational use of modern teaching methods is undoubtedly very important and helps to concentrate. If students are immersed in the class, combining their own exercises with beautiful pictures can better form the best state of students' attention. Of course, giving students a certain rest time and letting them move and talk can not only give their tired brains a proper rest, but also attract students' attention and achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone. For example:

How many people are there in my first-year math activity class "A * * *"? I invited a row of children to perform the game "Guess who is the boss" (designate one of them as the boss, the rest of the students imitate his actions, and the following students guess who is the boss). In the game, I don't ask students to say the name of the boss, just use the code names such as left 3 right 4. In this way, the teaching is intuitive and the students are full of interest. In the game, let the students clearly realize that the "boss" counted once from left to right, counted twice, and then subtracted once, which broke through the difficulty of this lesson.
