Later, I met this set of books, Walking into the Wonderful World of Mathematics. Author Yasuo Anyo showed us the other side of mathematics with vivid and interesting painting style and game style: wonderful.
Yasuya Anyo, a Japanese painter, picture book writer and essay writer, was born in 1926. From an early age, he dreamed of becoming a painter. During his teaching career, he met Matsumoto, the "father of Japanese picture books". This is a great inspiration to his career. Yasuya Anyo has profound attainments in literature and mathematics, and has published many novel, unique and creative picture books.
I found it particularly interesting when I looked through this set of books. The painting style is unique, which is different from other picture books of the same type. For example, in the category of cognitive and set concepts, most of the topics that may be given are: a bunch of triangles mixed with a square, so that you can find out which shape is not in the same category, or both are red, mix a blue and find out the different one. Yasuya Anyo's idea is even more peculiar, and it can also make children divergent thinking and discover and observe from different angles.

Give a few examples:
Book one, question one: Not a group.
He didn't say he was looking for different kinds of objects, but he said: not a group. Who's not with us? This statement makes us feel relaxed, not just preaching. When we were young, we often said: Who is with whom and who is not? There are many ways to distinguish whether this group is a group or not, and there is no fixed routine, so this allows children to fully express what they want to say. As long as your answer is reasonable and logical, that's right.
The following one is a little more difficult to find out who is not a group. There are more topics behind, and some even adults have to think about it.
Book one, theme two: magic potion
Magic potion, let's combine items. Many common items in our life, their original appearance, finally become another thing through combination, or make us more convenient to use. For example, pencils and erasers, we combine them into pencils with rubber heads, umbrellas and crutches, and into umbrellas with curved handles. These are common items in life, which can stimulate children's imagination. What else can be combined? Try to think about it.
The following question is even more interesting. We can see that the items that need to be combined are richer. There are also daily necessities, animals and children who need a deeper understanding of how to describe the position and arrangement. At first, I watched this time with my children and repeated it for three days. Finally, the children understood how to describe the location of the combined items, or I asked a question: What do I want to see in the second row and the third column? She came to find the position and give the answer (there is no unified answer to this question)
The following question is also for children to train in position and space. We finished reading this page, and then I asked her where the cups in the kindergarten were and told me after school.
Later, after school, she told me that her cup was in the second position in the third row. I'm glad she described it. I said, look, if you can describe the position of your cup like this, I will know its exact position. I don't need to see it. (Include all the problems that can be integrated into life)
Book two, question three: point, point, point-the relationship between point, line and surface.
This topic is also very interesting to explain. With our common cross-stitch, color pictures in books and images on TV, it is made up of many points with a magnifying glass. This is the so-called dot, dot, dot, and many dots are arranged in different ways, and finally become a picture we see. As will be mentioned later, the "point" here is not a point in the mathematical concept, but has a broader meaning, such as the cells that make up the human body, the formation of the universe and so on. Through a point, to explore the combination of things and see the world with micro-vision, there will be many surprises.
Volume 2, Theme 4: Digital Circle
This chapter mainly lets us know numbers together and understand the functions of numbers. First of all, it has a very interesting beginning. A group of children first draw them to represent the five children, then draw them more simply, and finally simplify them into circles. According to this method, horses, trees and birds can be drawn into circles, instead of many things. Circles correspond to numbers, one bird is a circle and five birds are circles. But if they are all represented by circles, it will be easy to be confused and complicated if the number is too large. I told my children that it is too difficult to use 20 circles to represent 20, and 100 to draw 100 circles. It can be expressed by numbers, which is very simple. When the number is greater than the square of 10, 65438.
Book 3, Theme 4: Left and Right
About the left and right problems, three or four-year-old children can basically distinguish, but most of them still stay in the stage of left hand and right hand, left foot and right foot. It is not so easy to describe the left side of a thing more deeply, or to describe this line with left and right. In this topic, the author uses vivid pictures to describe it, starting from understanding the left and right of the body, and gradually understanding the common things in life and the left and right of the living environment. The left and right pictures below can be said to be the same or different, but the difference is their orientation. Then, after explaining the concept of orientation in depth, according to a simple map, we will go where we want to go. We will start to use language to describe the route.
There are still many topics in it, so I won't say them one by one. Through a brief introduction, I believe you are very interested in this interesting set of books on mathematical thinking enlightenment. Recently, my children and I have about half an hour to read this book every day to exercise our minds. She likes it, too, because interesting methods make her feel that learning is easy and more like a game than learning.
However, some questions can't be understood at once because of the limited understanding ability, and even feel a little difficult, which affects the mood of sleeping. Haha, so we agreed to watch the wonderful math world for half an hour after school and focus on all kinds of relaxed picture books before going to bed.
