1, daily language dialogue training
With regard to the ability of mathematical logic, what kind of language you speak to your child on weekdays, the child will develop in this respect.
Professor Deborah J. Stipek of Stanford Preschool Education Institute suggested that parents should use spatial language to communicate with their children in their daily lives.
Recommended method:
① Hide toys, look for them in turn according to the language prompts, and describe them in spatial language, such as behind the chair, under the TV, inside the cart, in front of the sofa, etc.
2. Find the real thing according to the shape: What is round at home? What is a triangle? (shape words)
2, object size comparison
Let children know the size and consequences of the choice with specific objects in daily life. When you usually give something to your child, give her a choice, big apple or small apple? Do you want two biscuits or one? Convert abstract numbers into concrete tangible objects.
Recommended method:
(1), whether it is fruit, buttons, building blocks, etc. Put them in order one by one and tell the children, a red strawberry, two building blocks, three buttons, etc.
2. When guiding children to play with sand/water, put sand/water into a big bottle, and there is a small cup in the bottle to remind children how many cups are needed to fill it? Count the children next to you and explain why. Because the small cup is small, it takes three times to fill the large cup.
3. Ordering and logic of things
In addition to the sense of space, it is still important to master the order of things and time in the cultivation of mathematical ability. Knowing the connection between things, you can understand the connection between things by yourself.
Recommended method:
(1), wash your hands before each meal, and sit in a chair and wait.
2. Make an appointment to brush your teeth, take a shower and sleep every night. When you say it's time to brush your teeth in the future, your child will understand a series of things to say next, which can also help your child establish good living habits.
4. Tidy things up.
The ability to organize things can not only help children exercise the ability to control the sense of space, but also help children develop clean and tidy habits.
Before training children to classify, parents should create such a corner at home, such as children's bookshelves, children's toy boxes and so on. After introducing the rules to children, encourage them to classify by type.
Recommended method:
1. Buy a bunch of colorful buttons (Taobao is convenient and cheap), which can be classified by color or size.
2. Before going to bed every night, set aside a period of time to clean up the game area with your children and encourage them to put it back in place according to the type.
5. Cultivation of stereoscopic impression
Three-dimensional sense is a very abstract word, which is difficult for adults to understand, but don't worry, there are several small games that can help children understand three-dimensional sense well.
Recommended method:
1. origami game: origami is not only beneficial to cultivate children's hand-eye coordination ability, but also meaningful to cultivate children's sense of space. TED talk has an episode called "the magic of mathematics and origami", and the speaker, Professor Robert Lang, said that the art of origami is very helpful to the cultivation of spatial imagination. There are many origami books on the market. Parents and children play origami games together and explain them to their children while playing.
Toys such as magnetic film: These educational toys can be combined into various three-dimensional shapes, so that children can touch the three-dimensional sense of space.
Children's early mathematics enlightenment focuses on cultivating children's goodwill towards mathematics and developing children's inherent logical ability. Never let children learn by rote and oppress their studies.
It can be seen that any early enlightenment should be pleasant and integrated into daily life, and parents need to learn. Only by getting better can we educate better children.
