● Quantity
Including singing and counting. The number of songs is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... Counting is how many children can find it, such as how many fingers there are. Both parents pay more attention to it, but often ignore the other one-measurement, including the perception of scales, weights and other units. You might as well take the time to take your child with a stick and measure the length of the runway, or measure the width of the pencil box with a rubber, so that he can know that the measurement is measured in units, and this unit is unified, so that he can understand and feel the unit with the simplest measurement.
● Calculation
Most parents may teach their children to add and subtract by snapping their fingers, which is not enough. We don't advocate that children must learn to calculate from an early age, but let them understand more in the process of calculation, instead of memorizing. For example, Xiaoming has 10 candy, and Mao Mao has 8 candy. How many candy does Xiaoming have more than Mao Mao? Doudou has 20 pieces of sugar. He gave the children eight pieces of candy. How much is left? Although subtraction is used, it is actually different. The former is comparative and the latter is residual. It is important for parents to help their children understand their differences, not to work out the final result.
● Classification
In order to develop children's thinking, we must attach importance to diversified classification. For example: a triangle, a circle, a triangle, you will classify triangles into one category; But change these three things, a blue triangle, a red circle and a red triangle. In addition to shapes, red ones can also be grouped according to colors. This is the diversified classification, which can better exercise the clarity of children's thinking. However, when children come into contact with a new concept such as height, height, thickness and thinness for the first time, they can make a single classification, and then make a diversified classification after these concepts are formed.
● Assembly
Since primary school, all calculations and concepts have been generated on the basis of set. If the concept of set is clear, it will be much better to solve problems in the future. For example: Xiaoming's 10 candy, 8 candy from Mao Mao, Xiaoming's candy, and Mao Mao's candy. By comparing and subtracting the two groups, it is concluded that Xiao Ming is sweeter than a cat. When children perceive sets, they can analyze the correlation or complete difference between the two sets, which is also helpful for classification.
● Time
In addition to knowing the clock, let the children know where the pointer goes 10 minutes. Let him feel the time and feel for himself how long 10 minutes is.
● Space
In addition to letting children feel up, down, left, right, back and forth, they should also cultivate their spatial construction ability. Games like building blocks and puzzles are all about space construction. Building blocks are random, creative and three-dimensional space construction; It is a purposeful plane space construction to figure out what kind of pictures to put together in advance before the puzzle.
● Communication
Cats correspond to puppies, puppies correspond to animals and so on. And finding the same and related correspondence is an online game that parents often arrange for their children. In addition, spatial correspondence is relatively lacking. In fact, the teacher arranges seats and lists a seat map on the blackboard. The students below find their seats according to the table. This is the spatial correspondence.
● Classification
Now parents pay more attention to children's circular sorting, such as triangle, circle, triangle and circle. Below you will know how triangles and circles go. However, there is also a sorting ability, which is "which ranking". For example, letting children line up, which one goes from left to right and which one goes from right to left, and letting children sort some things from big to small or from high to low can enhance children's perception of ordinal numbers, which is closely related to future mathematics learning.
● Summary
The meaning of abstract thinking is no longer discussed, how to cultivate it? For a simple example, parents can ask their children, "What do you think is the difference between what mom wears today and what she wears in peacetime?" Children should analyze the differences by thinking and comparing information one by one.
● Solve
The ultimate goal of mathematics is to solve problems. It is never used for reciting like language, and it is more reflected in the process of children solving problems. The process is the most important, but the result is not the most important. Therefore, when you let your child solve a problem, you should leave him some room to think, and think for himself, without seeking results.
