1. What can extracurricular reading in mathematics bring to students?
This problem is not clear to our teachers, parents and students. Many people think that solving problems repeatedly in mathematics learning is better than reading. In the minds of parents, this understanding is more extensive. Therefore, in addition to textbooks, our children's schoolbags are problem sets such as three exercises in one lesson, homework in class and one exercise in each lesson, or some books related to Olympic Mathematics. In our classroom teaching, students' homework is still relatively small, and students can finish it in a relatively short time. A sad fact is that students have basically nothing to do after finishing the homework assigned by the teacher. So the trick came, and the sound of the cartoon I watched last night appeared. Teachers are very responsible and will ask students to read math extracurricular books. Then the next question arises. The teacher asked for extracurricular reading, either comic books or story books, and precious time was wasted.
In fact, an excellent math extracurricular reading book and a good math extracurricular reading habit can bring us a lot of knowledge and feelings, which is very helpful for improving and expanding students' thinking. The so-called extracurricular reading is the sail of the thinking ship and the wind that sails forward. Without reading, there would be no sails and no wind, so can the boat we set sail ride the wind and waves? Reading can make the beautiful scenery thousands of miles away stand in front of us, reading can let us travel through time and space, and let the thoughts of ancient and modern China and foreign countries come to mind. Reading is beneficial, and reading more can make us know more. Mathematics extracurricular reading is a very important learning activity for students to construct mathematical meaning and methods through mathematical materials according to their existing knowledge. It is also an important way for students to actively acquire knowledge, develop mathematical thinking and learn mathematical language. Improve the interest in learning mathematics, experience the external beauty and internal beauty of mathematics, and thus love and even be obsessed with mathematics. Bring students a broader world of mathematics, and extracurricular reading of mathematics can escort our students' growth.
Second, recommend the most suitable mathematics extracurricular reading materials to students.
What math extracurricular books are suitable for primary school students? In the eyes of many of our teachers and parents, when it comes to extracurricular reading, they immediately think of famous books, novels and various popular science books, which are truly excellent extracurricular reading. Specifically, in the process of teaching practice, what I recommend to students are some interesting and interesting math extracurricular reading materials. Pupils often like to read these extracurricular books that tell stories. The unfolding of the story can stimulate children's interest in learning mathematics. Through some math stories, let children find their interest in math knowledge, which will help to improve primary school students' heartfelt acceptance of this knowledge without rejection and fear. At the same time, children's mathematical thinking can be developed and their mathematical charm, thoughts and methods can be felt through mathematical stories. Pupils are accustomed to imitation because of their growing stage. Through the process of reading, children can improve their ability and skills to solve practical problems by imitating the strategies or methods to solve problems in stories.
Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable math extracurricular reading for children. My practice is to recommend different mathematics extracurricular reading materials to students of different ages. These books recommended to students should be interesting, story-telling and informative. It can enable students to establish a correct outlook on life and values, cultivate students' ability to use their hands and brains, and promote their all-round development. These extracurricular reading books recommended by us should be able to integrate the mathematics knowledge we usually study into a wonderful mathematics story and make it easier for students to accept. By reading these math stories, our children can learn the math thinking mode and other people's problem-solving methods and strategies, which can further expand our math thinking and improve students' problem-solving practice and innovation ability.
Every semester, I will recommend a math extracurricular reading suitable for students. For example, I recommended the math story album "Adventures on a Desert Island" to the sixth grade students. The protagonist of this book is Roark. Roque will take part in the international Olympic competition for primary school students. During the flight, the plane crashed unfortunately and Roark landed on an isolated island. There are many dangers on this isolated island. During his escape, Roque experienced various problems. With his excellent mathematical mind, Roque solved these problems one by one and was finally saved. Roark once encountered such a problem during his escape: "There is a monster number, which is a natural number. If you add up the digits of this monster, then multiply its sum by 3, add 1, and so on, you get a new monster. Do you know what the monster is? "
Third, how to carry out effective mathematics extracurricular reading
Next, we should think about how to effectively carry out math extracurricular reading and organize students to carry out effective math extracurricular reading under the existing conditions, which can be started from three aspects:
(A) to create a good reading atmosphere
Primary school students' ability to distinguish and judge is still relatively low, especially the herd mentality. One student took part in an interesting activity, and other students will take part enthusiastically. Grasping the students' psychology, the reading atmosphere in the class has a good foundation. There are always some excellent students in the class who enjoy a high reputation in the hearts of other students, and they can also be said to be the best in the class. Give full play to the leading role of these students and let them introduce their reading experience to their classmates, thus driving the whole class.
(B) to build a broad reading platform
A good math reading platform includes three aspects: sufficient time, quiet environment and books that can't be put down. At school, most of the time is occupied by classroom teaching and homework. My practice is to skip one class, one class a week, and let students read math extracurricular books. In fact, more extracurricular reading time is at home, and parents are the best gatekeepers of extracurricular reading quality, so that parents and teachers can pay attention to and supervise students' reading together and create good reading time for children.
(C) timely and fully affirmed the students' reading behavior
Being fully affirmed by others is a pleasure for everyone, especially adults and students. Therefore, students' extracurricular reading behavior should be affirmed and praised in time. You can recommend the books he has read to everyone by learning spiritual encouragement, such as approving eyes, kind smiles, or friendly exchanges with them. It can also be encouraged by activities, such as holding interesting math story speech contests regularly and making math tabloids. , can enrich students' study life and make them fall in love with extracurricular reading of mathematics.
In short, the future science will become more and more mathematical, and the society will become more and more mathematical. In the future society, to understand "the great works of nature written in mathematical language" requires good mathematical reading ability. Facing the future, we should cultivate students' good extracurricular reading habits and abilities. Finally, I ended this article with a sentence from Suhomlinski: "To learn to learn, you must first learn to read. A student with poor reading ability is a potential poor student. "
