As I expected, a few minutes later, my mother's voice was eight degrees higher: What? 2 yuan? ! 5 minus 2.5 equals 2? You don't want to lose fifty cents! How many times have I told you, you should turn this topic into …
Dad passed by the living room and shook his head helplessly: It is said that this is a hurdle for children to learn mathematics. This is the primary school in Lion Roar Town. It is estimated that parents should prepare quick-acting rescue pills in the back. ...
Although it is fun, what Dad Dou said really reflects the "helplessness" of many children when dealing with math problems.
As a "math scum", Douma was particularly envious of people who are good at math since she was a child. They are not only smart, but also have strong logical thinking and analytical ability, and they never study hard and are relaxed and happy, as if they are carrying their own charm aura wherever they go.
On the other hand, those children with poor math scores, no matter how hard they try, still make very slow progress, and often make their parents make a fuss about a topic, making chickens fly and dogs jump. In the end, the children gradually retreated from this course and even felt rejected.
Many parents can't help but ask when they see this, is the child born with mathematics?
Elizabeth Paco, a psychologist at Harvard University in the United States, believes that children have a natural intuitive judgment about mathematics at the age of five.
Therefore, if you want to know if your baby can learn math well in the future, you can draw a conclusion by just observing it a little, because children with good math are often "traceable" from an early age.
The following four points, a little, show that children have "mathematical potential" and parents can have fun!
First, it can associate numbers with objects.
3-4-year-old children, if they can actively associate numbers with objects in their lives, show that their thinking is very flexible and sensitive to numbers. With these two points, they laid the foundation for studying mathematics in the future.
What's the connection between numbers and objects? For example, when walking, children can observe how many big trees are on the roadside by themselves; When he goes to the pond to play, he can squat down and count how many small fish are in the water; When he goes home to take the elevator, he can also find the floor buttons of his home accurately, and he is very interested in these digital buttons.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the child doesn't have this ability or is not interested in it. Parents should guide their children in time, start with the details of life and cultivate their sensitivity to numbers. For example, when visiting a supermarket, ask your child what the number on the price tag is, and let the child read the date of production on the packaging bag.
Second, the classification deduction ability is strong.
In junior and senior high school textbooks, classified deduction is often regarded as a way of learning, that is, sorting out complex and disorderly contents regularly. This process not only reflects the children's thinking level, but also relates to the ideas and ways to solve problems.
For example, if a child can understand 3+2=5 on the basis of 2+3=5, then he can draw the law that "when the addend and the operand are interchanged, the sum remains the same", and the logical thinking of children is much stronger than that of their peers. With this flexible thinking, children will be more divergent in solving problems in the future.
Third, there is a sense of space.
In daily life, we will find that some children are born "road-crazy". Even if they have been to many places, they will still get lost without the guidance of adults. However, some children have a very good sense of direction. They can not only tell the difference between east, west, north and south, but also remember the way once or twice.
The latter can do this because they have a strong sense of space, which can not only provide convenience in life, but also bring benefits to learning mathematics in the future.
Children with a strong sense of space have more imagination, especially in learning geometry. They can also find solutions efficiently when doing problems, and consider the problems more comprehensively and thoughtfully.
Fourth, it will push back.
If a child can deduce a new conclusion of 4-3 = 1+3=4 from the conclusion of 65438+3 = 4 through slow reasoning, then the child will have great backward reasoning ability.
This process tests children's observation and mathematical thinking. With this kind of reverse thinking, children will be good at thinking from different angles, their brains will be more flexible and their thinking will be more comprehensive.
Mathematics is complex and profound. Although it is a headache for many children and even parents, learning mathematics well or mastering mathematical thinking is of great benefit to children's future study and growth.
In this long learning process, not only children's interest and efforts are needed, but also parents' guidance and cooperation are needed. Parents don't have to worry too much if their children don't have the talent to learn mathematics since childhood. They can cultivate children's interest in different ways, at least to pave the way for future basic mathematics learning.
