The ability to use numbers and reasoning effectively includes sensitivity to logical ways and relationships, functions and other related abstract concepts. The following are the methods I have compiled to develop children's mathematical logic intelligence in life. I hope everyone will read it carefully!

Howard gardner, the first professor who put forward the theory of multiple intelligences, also pointed out in his book Multiple Intelligences that the two basic facts of mathematical logical intelligence, namely excellent intelligence, often encounter the process of solving problems quite quickly, and the method of solving problems can be constructed before it is said.

Advantages of developing mathematical logic intelligence

Yang, a lecturer of Montessori Children's Education Society, pointed out that the ability of mathematical logic is a kind of thinking ability, and it is also the most used ability in daily life. Children with well-developed mathematical logic intelligence are more organized, orderly, accurate and careful, and their ability to solve problems and adapt to life is also higher.

Chen, founder of TAT Whole Brain Development Center, said that mathematical logic intelligence is a kind of ability that needs to solve problems strategically. In addition to high understanding, strong computing ability, learning advantages and high academic achievement wisdom, this ability also plays an important role in life, because our understanding and handling of many interpersonal relationships in life require logic and causal reasoning, which is closely related to mathematical logic intelligence.

As for those with weak intellectual development, they will encounter more setbacks in the process of learning, which will lead to a lack of confidence in their own learning, and it will be more difficult to learn subjects related to mathematical logic in the future, such as physics, chemistry and natural science. Life may also be due to the lack of sense of space, poor judgment of distance and direction, leading to frequent loss; Or lack of observation causes obstacles to interpersonal communication; Or the sense of logic and order is poor, which makes the schedule of life and work a mess. In addition, the career choice is narrow.

A survey of the development of infant mathematical logic

Chen summarized the development of mathematical logic of infants of different ages as follows:

3 ~ 4 months

Have the ability to focus on something, can distinguish the differences between things, for example, can distinguish who is a mother and who is not.

6 ~ 7 months

Can distinguish familiar and unfamiliar things, be curious about new things, and have obvious ability to distinguish the outside world.

10 ~ 18 months

At this time, I can understand the most elementary mathematical concepts, and I can generally feel the size, weight and quantity of items, such as the number of sweets.

18 ~ 22 months

I have mastered the elementary concept of quantity, which is also an important period of language development, so I can sing or speak numbers. Most children can learn to calculate orally 1, 2, 3, and some children can learn numbers above 10.

2.5 ~ 3 years old

There is a concept of primary counting, which can be counted by pointing to the article. You can distinguish the obvious features of objects, such as shape, color, name and the concept of classification. Through the demonstration of adults, you can put the same type of things together.

3 ~ 4 years old

Have clear counting ability, can refer to the number of things and say the total; Have obvious correspondence and classification ability, for example, adults can tell children to classify by color, shape or nature; There are obvious concepts of weights and measures, such as distinguishing height, fat, length, weight and thickness.

4 ~ 5 years old

This stage is a period for children to develop their computing ability and comprehensive mathematical ability; Be able to recognize numbers and understand the practical significance of numbers and quantities; Have the ability to arrange and combine; Use semi-abstract concepts, such as the change of day and night, the concept of hot and cold; There is the concept of the eternity of an object, such as covering it with a cloth and knowing that it is still in its original place and has not disappeared.

5 ~ 6 years old

Able to perform simple mathematical operations; Can look at the clock and tell the time; Can identify money, understand the value and use of money, and calculate how to buy things with money with the help of adults; Can make simple measurements, such as measuring water with a cup and measuring distance with a rope.

Strengthening the Intelligence of Mathematical Logic from Life

Chen said that infancy is an important period for intellectual development. Although about 60% of intelligence is inherited and 40% is acquired, in the study of the brain, the cultivation of the day after tomorrow is more important, because the brain can be effectively connected and the intelligence can be stimulated after constant stimulation and tempering. In life, you can use the things around you anytime and anywhere to cultivate children's mathematical logic ability. Now, explain the methods of cultivating various abilities:

Counting and recognition

Counting is a good activity. Our body is a good driving range for counting. The number of two eyes, 65,438+0 noses, five fingers and teeth, etc. It starts from the proprioception and then extends to the number of family members, the number of bowls, chopsticks and plates for eating, the number of building blocks, and the number of climbing stairs to eat fruits.

When you are about 2 ~ 3 years old, you can try to look at the house number, press which number to get to your floor, read your own license plate number, and even ask your child to find the license plate with the number 3. And when children watch their favorite cartoons, they can also watch the opening time; Let the children press the channel of cartoon program with the number keys of the remote control; In addition, making phone calls is also a good number game. You can also give children toys and coins to let them know the number of coins and let them play a shopping game to buy and sell things.

Understand basic graphics

When teaching children to know graphics, parents need to describe them correctly. Children can have a three-dimensional concept around 1 year and a half, so in addition to plane graphics, they can also add the concept of three-dimensional graphics in time. When teaching children to know shapes, it is best to use practical things as metaphors, such as windows, doors, tables and chairs. , and try not to use pictures; In addition to the concepts of plane triangle, square and circle, three-dimensional graphics such as cylinder (such as cup, bottle and pencil), cube (such as building blocks) and sphere (such as human head and ball) need to be added.

Understanding of direction

Teach children to know the orientation, starting from the children themselves, such as knowing their left and right hands, head, feet, front and back. Let the children try to talk about what is his front and back, and where is a piece of furniture at home, so as to describe the environment near their home. For example, there is a park in front and a road behind.

The concept of sequence

Family members are sorted by height or age, digital cards and shoes, or play sorting games with playing cards.

The concept of time

Let children often look at the clock. At first, they only need to know the short pointer of the hour. Children can't learn to look at the hour hand, minute hand and second hand at the same time, because the electronic clock has digital display. You can also often look at calendars and monthly calendars and add the concept of time when telling children things, such as eating within 5 minutes and collecting toys first; You eat noodles in the morning and rice at noon; I have painting class on Monday, swimming class on Tuesday and so on.

Decomposition and synthesis of quantity

Children around 3 years old have the concepts of decomposition and synthesis. When celebrating their birthdays, they can count the number of people, then cut 1 big cake into equal small cakes and put five sweets in a bag. You can also teach children the decomposition and synthesis of quantity by counting fingers, for example, five fingers plus five fingers, and * * * has 10 fingers.

Comparative concept

Like a father's hand is bigger than a baby's; Which apple is bigger or smaller? Playing games is more than watching whose dolls; Which toy car runs fastest; What color cars are the most on the road, and so on. , are all good ways to establish comparative concepts. You can also let your child take fruit in one hand and bread in the other, and let your child use his hand as a scale to see which thing is heavier.
