The dribs and drabs of mathematics in our lives. From calculating the price of buying things to the trajectory of rocket launch, these are inseparable from mathematical knowledge.
Children's mathematics enlightenment is undoubtedly the knowledge of all parents and friends.
Tinker bell is a child who has just turned two. In the eyes of his mother, he is a clever boy. Because he has just turned two years old, he can speak long paragraphs and absorb and accept new knowledge very quickly.
Some picture books have been read several times, and when my mother reads them the next time, she can immediately pick up the next sentence. But this cognition changed completely after his mother enlightened him in mathematics.
Starting with the simplest count, it took Tinker Bell two weeks to count to 10, and she always made mistakes when counting.
Tinker bell's mother can't help thinking, is my child a scum in mathematics? Should I give up his math training and concentrate on his future development in literature?
First, why do you want to carry out mathematics enlightenment? 1. Exercise logical thinking ability.
The development of children's cognition is inseparable from the improvement of thinking logic. Therefore, how to train thinking logic has become the top priority of children's cognitive development.
The logical thinking training embodied in mathematics is not available in other disciplines. Because mathematics itself is an abstract concept, it is the basic principle of the formation of thinking logic to make something from scratch and finally visualize it in your own mind.
Mathematical training method is a subject how to solve problems through abstract thinking logic. Itself is the best way to exercise thinking logic.
2. Inherent sense of numbers.
American psychologists have done such an experiment. Put two piles of the same objects in one space, but the number of one pile is small, and the number of one pile is obviously large.
Bring 48-and-a-half-year-old children into this space in turn, and let them distinguish which pile has more items and which pile has less. The experimental results show that most children can distinguish more objects.
This ability to estimate quantity is a kind of fuzzy computing ability that does not need training. That is, children are born with a sense of numbers.
Fuzzy computing ability provides a good foundation for us to learn mathematics. Through proper mathematical enlightenment, this innate fuzzy computing ability can be transformed into concrete computing ability through manual training.
3. Educational environment in China.
Although China's education has been advocating reducing the burden, and in early childhood education, it has also been advocating learning foreign interest-oriented learning methods. However, for a long time to come, exam-oriented education will remain the mainstream of education in China.
In order to make children better adapt to the learning style of primary schools and even universities, it is very necessary to carry out mathematics enlightenment at an appropriate time.
Many parents think that mathematics is difficult to teach, and they always feel that they are doing nothing at the beginning of mathematics, or that their efforts are not proportional to their children's final learning results. In fact, this is mainly because many parents have entered the misunderstanding of mathematics enlightenment.
Second, what are the misunderstandings of mathematics enlightenment? 1. thinks that mathematics is counting.
Many parents think that their children can count from one to 100 correctly, and they think that they have completed the elementary education of mathematics. Actually, this is very incorrect. The core of mathematics enlightenment should be to tell children a complete thinking logic and let them have the ability to solve problems through thinking logic. Know some common sense of mathematics, even if you know mathematics, it is not superficial.
You must exercise your math ability by constantly doing problems.
Oral arithmetic, mental arithmetic, addition and subtraction within 100, etc. Basically, they are all necessary sports for preschool children.
Little dewdrop will be a pupil soon. But she doesn't want to be a pupil at all. Because Xiaolu's mother told her that only after finishing this interesting math problem can she be qualified to be a primary school student.
Every time I hear my mother say, "There are 10 chickens and 5 rabbits in this cage ..." Xiaolu feels very headache, because she really can't understand why some people want to keep chickens and rabbits in a cage, and she can't understand why counting the legs of chickens and rabbits can turn them into primary school students.
Although repeated practice and accumulation is a key to improve math scores, we should do such exercises more often after children go to primary school. In the enlightenment stage, we should pay more attention to the educational model of arousing children's interest in mathematics.
3. Knowing how to do problems means knowing math.
Many times, this misunderstanding is caused by the educational institutions around us. They always focus their educational achievements on the utilitarian purpose of "making achievements".
Most educational institutions and their books basically pass by the concept of mathematics. The focus is on the fixed thinking that exists in most mathematics, which is what we often call "routines".
The exercises left after class are also based on this routine, which gives children the illusion that the winner of the routine wins the world. Although this method can make us master the method of mathematics quickly, it obviously ignores the essence of learning mathematics. Let the children know, but I don't know why.
Third, what are the good ways and means of mathematics enlightenment? 1. Learn about shapes.
Children are often very interested in common things in life after they are one year old. Parents can guide him to discover that the cup he drinks is cylindrical, the small hat on his head is round, and the small building blocks in the child's hand can be square or rectangular.
2. origami.
Origami itself is a very interesting little game. Let children have a deeper understanding of axial symmetry and size transformation during the game. It also plays a very important role in starting children's spatial imagination.
3. Picture book reading.
Picture book reading is one of the games that most children like very much. Choosing a suitable picture book of mathematics enlightenment can greatly improve children's acceptance of mathematics enlightenment and form the concept of mathematics in a subtle way. Moreover, picture books also include a lot of mathematical logic, such as calculation, sequence, statistics and so on.
Here are a few popular picture books on mathematics enlightenment.
Lamb can't sleep, first there is an apple, moving here and there, a match made in heaven.
