Methods/steps
By telling stories about famous mathematicians, help children build up their interest in learning mathematics.
Children worship heroes very much. You can tell him more famous figures in mathematics, just like the short stories you usually tell. Let them know that if they learn math well, they can also become great people. What interesting things happened to these celebrities when they studied mathematics, and what contributions they made later by studying mathematics. Some small mysteries and miracles in mathematics can be told to children. Slowly, he will have a good impression on mathematics, so that he will no longer resist learning mathematics.
Help children learn math through some small games and software on the computer.
Now technology is very developed, there is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing that is not on the computer. As long as you have the heart, this kind of learning software is everywhere. I bought a 100 children's learning software with math tricks in it. Children study happily in play. But there is a disadvantage in this, that is, it is not good for children to use computers for a long time. Therefore, parents must control their children's use of computers, which can only be used as an aid and cannot replace their children's study.
Let children slowly accept and fall in love with learning mathematics through empathy.
The so-called empathy is to let children be teachers, we adults be students, and let children give questions. Children will learn imperceptibly by setting questions and then judging whether the questions we do are correct. This is really useful, and children also have a sense of responsibility as teachers. She thinks about what kind of questions to test us every day, and she will think about the correct answers like us. It's so cute.
By improving the difficulty of math problems, let children use their brains and think more.
I don't advocate children to learn Olympic Mathematics, because we adults have to think for a long time before we can think about some topics, for fear of adding burden to our children. But in our daily life, we can write a few difficult Olympic math problems for our children from time to time. The child may not be able to answer, but the process of exploring the answer with her will make her very interested. Then she will ask one or two similar Olympic math questions, and she will answer them immediately. You can try this method.
Let children slowly fall in love with learning mathematics through entertaining.
There are many kinds of math games. You can play math games with your children more often when you are free. Poker, for example, is a good choice, because the numbers on it are exactly what you need to learn math. Through these simple games, we can integrate mathematical knowledge into them, let children master the most basic mathematical operations, and slowly let children fall in love with learning mathematics. But don't let the game itself overshadow the study, then the game will become meaningless.
Learn abacus mental arithmetic to let children know that addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can also be calculated like this.
Abacus mental arithmetic is to develop children's intelligence. Some schools learn it, while others don't. If your child's school is lucky enough to offer this course, you must let your child study hard. But learning abacus mental arithmetic will make children have a bipolar reaction. One is that they love math more and more, and the other is that they don't like math more and more. Therefore, according to children's interests and current situation, don't blindly give children mental arithmetic classes. If so, it is best to let the children continue their studies.
Watch some programs with children that will help stimulate their interest in learning mathematics.
I seldom let my children watch TV, even her favorite cartoons. It is not good for her psychological and physical development to prevent her from watching adult TV dramas. However, I will try to choose some programs to show her. You said that children nowadays should not watch TV for a minute, which is unrealistic. For example, Super Brain, which was shown some time ago, made my daughter admire this little genius in mathematics. After reading that, I think she has more energy to learn math.
Communicate well with teachers and class teachers to help children adapt to math learning as soon as possible.
Children's psychology is very fragile, so we should work with teachers to help children build self-confidence and get out of the shadow of psychology on learning mathematics. Moreover, teachers like parents who care about their children, and they are more willing to help them with you. So, when your child says he doesn't want to learn math, you should talk to the teacher to see where the problem lies and how to solve it. If you don't care about your children yourself, how can you let the teachers pay attention?
