1, counting chain.
You can connect the numbers from 1 to 10 in sequence by counting chain. For example, starting from the number 1, slowly count continuously until 10 and then back to 1. In this way, children can remember the number of neighbors by observing and following the chain.
2. Digital line chart.
Draw a number line chart and put the numbers from 1 to 10 on the number line continuously. Ask children to move along several lines with their fingers or markers to help them imagine the concept of adjacent numbers. They can observe the order and relative position of numbers on the number axis.
3. Finger counting.
Teaching neighbors with fingers is also a simple and effective method. Let the children put their fingers on the table or raise them in order, then let them move their fingers one by one and count the adjacent numbers. For example, starting with the thumb, count the thumb, index finger, middle finger and so on.
4. Numbers games.
Play some interesting numbers games to help children remember the adjacent numbers. For example, you can say one number, and then ask the child to say the next or previous number. Gradually increase the difficulty of the game and let them calculate the adjacent numbers in their minds instead of relying on your prompts.
5, graphics and charts.
It is also an effective teaching method to express the adjacent number with graphs and charts. Draw a table containing numbers from 1 to 10, and let the children observe the relationship and pattern between the numbers. They can notice that the gap between adjacent numbers is constant, which helps them understand the concept of adjacent numbers.
6. Interactive learning tools.
Using interactive learning tools, such as math games, math applications or math teaching AIDS, can increase children's interest and participation in adjacent numbers. These tools usually present the concept of adjacent numbers in an interesting and interactive way, and stimulate children's enthusiasm for learning.
