Characteristics of children's mathematical thinking
The development of children's thinking at the age of 0-3 is generally characterized by action dominating thinking.
When a child thinks with his brain, he will definitely use all parts of his body to get the answer. Sometimes you ask your child, how many dishes are there on the table? At this stage, children often have to count one by one with their fingers to answer you.
The thinking characteristics of children aged 4-6 tend to be concrete images.
At this stage, children can't understand abstract graphics, but they can understand concrete objects. Sometimes there are four toys and two chairs in front of them. The child can't fully answer how many items you have. They can only tell you that there are four toys and two chairs. They only know that four fingers are stretched out first, and then two fingers are stretched out.
After the age of 7, children develop from concrete thinking in images to abstract thinking.
In this process, children will gradually learn to sum up, have a deeper understanding of some quantities and do some simple addition and subtraction.
How to cultivate children's mathematical thinking and observation ability is the basis of children's mathematical thinking training.
In terms of interest, playing middle school is an effective way to train children to learn digital observation. When children learn the number 3, it is easiest to blur this concept. Children always think that only three identical objects are 3, but for three objects with slightly different shapes and colors,
It is impossible to determine its number, which shows that the practical meaning of number is abstract and difficult to grasp when establishing the concept of number, so it is truly in line with mathematical laws to guide children to compare in observation.
Cultivating attention is the guarantee of children's mathematical thinking training
Stability of children's attention. The stability of attention is one of people's psychological qualities, also called attention retention. It is the ability to keep attention to an object or activity for a certain period of time. It is difficult for young children to cultivate this ability. According to children's psychological characteristics, in interest teaching, we must highlight games and keep notes while playing, so as to achieve the expected results. Mathematics is abstract, and children like games best. With the help of game activities, children learn mathematics, so that they can construct mathematics knowledge in happy and independent learning.
Cultivating memory is the key to children's mathematical thinking training
Memory plays an important role in children's life. Children's memories are mainly unintentional and vivid. But under the guidance of parents, with the expansion of children's activities and the enhancement of language ability, children's conscious memory will gradually develop. It is very important to teach children mathematics and cultivate their memory.
Cultivating thinking ability and imagination is the development of children's learning mathematics.
Imagination is a special form of thinking activity and a creative cognitive function. In terms of interest, painting middle school is the best way to cultivate children's digital imagination. Everything in the world is composed of numbers and shapes, and mathematics is a science that studies the quantitative relationship and spatial form in the real world. For children who think mainly in concrete images, introducing mathematical knowledge from teaching numbers and addition and subtraction can only be meaningless singing and reciting operations, and it is difficult for them to understand the meanings of concepts such as mathematics and symbols.
Children's mathematical thinking method is to sing numbers, such as "two tigers, two tigers", let children establish the concept of 2, "I have a pair of small hands and ten fingers", teach children nursery rhymes related to the concepts of 5+5 and 10, and quickly help children establish a sense of numbers.
Learn math by piling wood: don't underestimate the game of playing with building blocks. Playing with building blocks, you can not only learn the basic concepts of numbers by counting, but also perceive the basic concepts such as size, shape, weight, volume, symmetry and spatial relationship through the stacking of building blocks.
Distinguish thickness: let children master the concept of thickness, such as beading with small sticks, some small sticks are not beaded (indicating that they are too thick), and they can also be arranged in order according to the thickness of small sticks. You can also let your child compare the thickness of other items.
Random counting in life: when you go up the stairs, count the order of the stairs with your children; This is also a good interactive game. When eating fruit, count the fruits you eat together, "one ***5 apples, one for mom, one for dad, one for baby, how many are left" and so on. Help children understand subtraction.
