First, interesting math activities are in line with students' age characteristics.
Mathematics has always been boring, so many children have lost interest in learning mathematics. The children in grade one have just entered school. If we simply start with cultivating students' mathematical thinking and let them learn mathematical thinking methods, students' interest in mathematics will be stifled in the bud. The Math Picture Book edited by Mr. Liu of South Korea is presented with interesting story situations and simple contents, and tells a series of mathematical knowledge and mathematical thinking methods such as the origin of numbers, the conservation of quantities and comparison. Being really close to children has greatly stimulated children's interest in learning. They listened to the teacher's explanation with interest like listening to stories, expressed their opinions from time to time, and learned mathematics knowledge in interesting explanations.
Second, the interesting process of mathematical activities accords with students' learning psychology.
1, in the classroom-let children like math
In order to let children enjoy an interesting math class for a week, I usually explain the language in the picture book page by page in the first half of the class, and ask some interesting questions while talking. For example, in the class "How did the ancients count?" When I ask my children, "Guess, how did the ancients count?" Children put forward all kinds of ideas and found that the ancients could count with their noses and arms, and their eyes widened. In the second half of the class, we will learn from the ancients and start counting with some organs on our bodies. We also ask our children to go home at night and teach their parents the counting methods of the ancients, so that parents can experience the magic of mathematics with us.
In the interesting math activity class, we often play some math games with the children, such as "speak out" game, "math finger practice" game, "story quiz" game, and even let students make up some short stories according to the picture book. Children's enthusiasm for participation has been greatly stimulated, and the classroom has become a place that children yearn for.
2. Outside the classroom-let the tentacles of mathematics extend.
Mathematics is closely related to life, and mathematics knowledge is needed in many places in life. Cultivating such awareness from an early age can not only stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics, but also gradually cultivate students to use mathematical thinking methods and ways to solve problems in life and cultivate students' rational thinking ability. After class,
Students are often asked to go home to find "mathematics" and extend it after class. For example, after learning The Generation of Numbers, ask students to find the math they want to use in their lives. For example, let the students say, "I am a first-grade pupil, studying in 10 1 class." If there are no figures, how to introduce them? Record what you said in a day with numbers, and so on. Such activities can make students fully feel the value of mathematics knowledge. In the second half of the semester, with the improvement of children's literacy, the explanation of picture book stories becomes easier and easier, and 10 minutes can often be set aside in class. We seize this gap time, appropriately expand the knowledge in class, collect some deep questions written according to the knowledge in class, gradually cultivate students' mathematical thinking ability, and let students experience the fun of mathematical thinking.
