First, let students understand that daily life is closely related to mathematics. In today's society, individuals must have basic mathematical operation ability and the ability to observe and analyze with mathematical ideas. Middle school is the golden age of life learning. We should study hard and have real talents and practical learning. Only in this way can we become useful materials for the country and not be eliminated by society. Mathematics comes from life, and life cannot be separated from mathematics. Such as bank interest rate, stock price fluctuation, clothes discount, school sports meeting results, sprint results, spring outing car rental scheme, etc. These words, which are closely related to life and study, have appeared in current textbooks and exercise books. Learning mathematics is not only the need of the times, but also the need of our own survival.
Second, the establishment of a democratic, healthy and harmonious new teacher-student relationship is the first condition to cultivate students' interest in learning mathematics.
The first educational monograph in ancient China, Xue Ji, said, "Be close to your teacher and trust your method." Good teacher-student relationship will produce good results. If a student doesn't like the teacher, he won't be interested in the subjects taught by the teacher. Research shows that 96% of junior high school students' interest in a subject comes from their love for teachers who teach the subject.
1. Face the reality. Most rural junior high school students come from remote villages, and many of them are left-behind children. They have no love in their families, lack of academic assistance, and generally have a poor foundation in mathematics. If the current teachers talk endlessly and criticize this, it will only hurt students' self-esteem and enthusiasm for learning. We can only face up to the reality and proceed from the reality of our class to formulate and implement an effective teaching plan.
2. The teacher firmly believes. All students can learn math except the mentally retarded. Teachers should actively encourage and imply that students "I can do it". If we can't stick to this belief, some students can't get encouragement and courage from teachers' expectation, trust and concern, which leads to the alienation of teachers and students' feelings → development to not listening to your lectures in class → dislike your classes → dislike mathematics → escape and give up learning, and finally form a vicious circle, which directly affects the learning effect.
3. The students are confident. Mathematics is characterized by abstraction, rigorous thinking and strong logical reasoning ability. Some students can't learn math well, mainly because they have no confidence. Therefore, whether in class or after class, teachers should give priority to encouragement and help students ignite the spark of self-confidence. Especially for students with learning difficulties, we should give them more care, start from the foundation, find out their bright spots and cultivate their self-confidence, so that they will not have a vicious circle of "poor grades → no interest in learning mathematics → low enthusiasm for learning → worse grades". Only by caring for students with true love, treating them sincerely, protecting their self-esteem, persisting in democracy and treating them equally can we win their trust. Teachers pay attention to the guidance of learning methods, language encouragement and psychological positive hints, so as to form a good mathematics learning atmosphere in the whole class and the teaching quality will be greatly improved.
4. Bold appreciation. Encourage students to ask questions boldly and express their opinions. The view that "problem is the heart of mathematics" has been recognized by many colleagues. Junior high school students have face and self-esteem as they grow older. Therefore, when students express their biased or even wrong views, teachers should not immediately deny and criticize them, but should analyze the correctness of the students' problem-solving ideas, methods and formulas with other students in the class, and try their best to guide and evaluate them positively. When the methods and skills given by students are better than those given by teachers, they should be fully affirmed, encouraged and praised. Educational psychology research shows that students' learning progress, teachers' praise and recognition are the driving force for students to overcome difficulties and the source of their interest in learning. Only in this way, through appreciation, students will be closer to the teacher, trust the teacher's teaching and learn from the teacher.
5. Be a model. Confucius said: "His body is upright and he goes without orders; His body is not right, although he is not obedient. " Teachers' emotions, attitudes and values have a subtle influence on students. Teachers' professionalism and sense of responsibility will infect students and make them consciously enhance their initiative in learning. If the teacher is lazy and only corrects homework and test papers for a few days, according to the law of forgetting, students almost forget. Without experiencing the fun and success of learning mathematics, students will gradually lose the motivation to continue learning or even give up.
Third, teachers' superb teaching art is an important condition to cultivate students' interest in learning mathematics.
"Teacher, preach and teach." In addition to traditional skills such as strong classroom organization, clear thinking, fluent language, neat blackboard writing and good hand drawing, teachers should also skillfully make courseware and apply modern teaching methods such as multimedia and electronic whiteboard to improve classroom teaching efficiency and stimulate students' interest in learning. Classroom teaching methods are eclectic, and the language is humorous, which can break the boring atmosphere of mathematics classroom and let students explore mathematics problems in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, thus attracting students' attention and cultivating students' interest in mathematics.
Fourth, tell the history of mathematics, cultivate mathematical emotions and stimulate interest.
In the long course of mathematics, there are countless touching and inspiring knowledge of mathematical history. Students generally like anecdotes. In teaching, the history of mathematical development, the vicissitudes of mathematical theory, the story of mathematicians' growth, the contribution of mathematics in science and technology, and the origin of some conclusions in mathematics can not only help students understand the history of mathematics and enrich their knowledge, but also cultivate their mathematical feelings, stimulate their interest in learning mathematics and enhance their confidence in learning mathematics well.
Fifth, create scenarios, carefully set doubts, stimulate inquiry psychology and arouse interest.
In mathematics teaching, by creating situations and asking questions appropriately, students' curiosity, attention and thirst for knowledge can be stimulated, and students' interest in learning can be induced, which will play an important role in improving the quality of mathematics teaching.
Six, the use of mathematical ideas and methods to cultivate people's intelligence, improve interest.
The basic ideas of junior high school mathematics can be summarized as the idea of fractional discussion, the idea of function and equation, the idea of combining numbers with shapes, the idea of reduction, and common problem-solving methods such as method of substitution, undetermined coefficient method and collocation method. Through the combination of basic mathematical ideas and problem-solving skills, people's mathematical intelligence is cultivated. Students realize the great role of learning mathematics well, and will certainly improve their interest in mathematics learning.
In a word, interest is the best teacher to learn mathematics. Our teachers should pay attention to the use of various means and methods in peacetime teaching, cultivate and stimulate students' interest in learning through various channels, and mobilize students' enthusiasm and initiative to the maximum extent. Only in this way can students learn mathematics well with strong interest and improve the quality of mathematics teaching in a large area.
