How to Stimulate and Cultivate Students' Interest in Mathematics+
Interest refers to a person's psychological tendency to know and master something and try to participate in an activity with positive emotions. Interest is the forerunner of learning introduction and an important psychological component of learning motivation. Cultivating interest is an important means to stimulate learning motivation, and students' interest in mathematics will create favorable conditions for learning. Therefore, in mathematics teaching, how to cultivate and stimulate students' interest in learning is a problem that our mathematics teachers must attach great importance to. With interest, students can be willing to walk into the classroom, taste the interest in learning mathematics, and have the desire to show their self-ability. The cultivation of learning interest should permeate all aspects of teaching and run through the whole process of mathematics teaching. Let's talk about my experience in teaching in recent years on the cultivation and stimulation of interest.

First, the purpose of learning and education, to stimulate students' interest in learning.

Mathematics is a basic subject and the cornerstone of future work and study. Psychological research and educational practice have proved that students' interest in learning can be successfully cultivated by adopting vivid educational methods suitable for their psychological development level, such as holding a discussion class on "life without mathematics", space travel, a class meeting on the theme of "mathematics and aerospace" and activities such as "mathematics and life" introduced in the classroom. Students can fully realize that life can not be separated from mathematics, and mathematics can not be separated from future development. Students can realize the importance of mathematics and the purpose of learning mathematics. Participating in the four modernizations requires a solid mathematical foundation. In teaching, students can personally understand the important role of learning mathematics in cultivating thinking ability, logical reasoning ability and imagination ability, and make students' understanding of mathematics develop from rationality to sensibility. So as to study hard and lay a good foundation for future career. Teachers' learning requirements for students are put forward in a vivid, concrete and infectious way, which is more in line with the characteristics of students' psychological development, so it is easier for students to accept this requirement and turn it into interest in learning.

Second, care for students and harmonize the feelings between teachers and students.

As a teacher, it is possible that due to less teaching hours and less communication opportunities between teachers and students, it is easy to form a rigid and severe impression among students. If students think the teacher is terrible, it is difficult for them to enjoy his class. Therefore, math teachers should talk to students more often to understand their ideological trends. If possible, they often carry out some group activities with students to make students have affinity with teachers. The so-called "pro-teacher" means. Especially in the senior grades of primary schools, there are often some underachievers, so teachers should not reprimand them at will. They should be persuasive, pay special attention to their self-esteem, respect and care for students, and often encourage students with praise and rewards, especially those with poor foundation and backward grades. As long as there is progress, even small progress, teachers should praise and encourage students' progress in time. Prevent students' self-esteem from being hurt by their eagerness to achieve success, and let them have a strong interest in mathematics from being afraid of taking mathematics classes to falling in love with them, and establish confidence in learning mathematics well.

Third, transfer students' other interests to math learning.

Teaching experience tells us that when students are not interested in learning, they often have a strong interest in other aspects, such as making and playing games. If this interest can be transferred to mathematics learning, the significance of students' learning can be imagined. The new curriculum reform strongly advocates cooperative learning, teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction. You can learn about students' interests and find ways to transfer them. Once I found some students who didn't like math playing poker. So poor students who like playing cards very much are divided into several groups to compete with good students. Results The poor students won the good student group at 2 1: 30, which made the poor students realize that the application of mathematics knowledge in practice, even games can not be separated from mathematics, and successfully transferred students' interest in games to mathematics, thus generating the idea of learning mathematics well.

Fourth, create situations to stimulate interest in learning.

At the beginning of new knowledge teaching, creating situations can effectively stimulate students' interest in learning and improve learning efficiency. For example, in the course "The Irreversible Nature of Business", you can set such a story situation: a group of monkeys live on the mountain of Guo Hua, and one day the Monkey King gives peaches to the little monkeys. The Monkey King said, "Six peaches are equally distributed to three little monkeys." The little monkey shook his head again and again and said, "Too few! Too little! " The Monkey King said, "Good! How about giving you 60 peaches and an average of 30 monkeys? " The little monkeys still pushed their luck and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, can you give me more?" Hearing this, the Monkey King thought about it, patted the table master with a generous look and said, "All right! Give you 600 peaches, giving an average of 300 monkeys. You are always satisfied! " The little monkey felt that he had taken a big advantage and smiled happily. So is the Monkey King. After listening to the story, the students also laughed. At this time, I took the opportunity to say, "Who laughs smart?" Why? "At this time, the students will list 6/3=2, 60/30=2, 600/300=2, and then I will guide the students to observe and analyze themselves, so as to discover the mystery of' quotient invariance'. Students will be interested in learning new knowledge.

Five, contact with reality, cultivate interest in learning.

Choosing typical living materials to introduce new courses can stimulate students' curiosity and interest in learning. For example, when teaching circumference, I asked students a question to guess: there is a playground and two runways, one is round and the other is square. Xiaohong runs along the square and Xiaodong runs along the circular runway. Which of them ran a long distance, which made the students guess. Obviously, students must be divided into two factions, and no one can convince anyone. In the end, we can only calculate, but the students will soon find the circle. The students all said they wanted to, so I took the opportunity to introduce a new lesson. In this way, students devote themselves to the study of new courses with great interest and questions about how to find the circle, and the teaching effect is excellent.

Sixth, strengthen intuition and guide hands-on operation.

In classroom teaching, vivid teaching methods such as visual AIDS and projectors can make static mathematical knowledge dynamic, abstract and concrete, make unfamiliar and difficult knowledge easy to understand, not only stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, but also impress and never forget what they have learned. In particular, the derivation of some formulas, such as the teaching of triangle, parallelogram, trapezoid and other area formulas, demonstrates the process of "cutting and spelling" with projection, which is clear at a glance. By cutting and spelling learning tools, students' practical ability can be improved, and the results obtained through self-operation are impressive and memorable. Obviously, using intuitive teaching methods to guide hands-on operation in teaching can effectively stimulate students' interest in learning.

In a word, primary school students' interest in mathematics learning is very important for primary school students' mathematics learning and an important prerequisite for learning this course well. In mathematics teaching, we mathematics teachers should pay attention to using various means and methods to cultivate and stimulate learning interest through various channels, so as to mobilize students' learning 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.
