Parents generally believe that to improve math ability, we should do more problems and cultivate interest. In fact, interest is not cultivated. Only by doing well in every exam and generating confidence can interest be born. So math is not good, the problem is not self-confidence, but the child's lack of ability. Improving children's math ability can be started from the following four aspects: 1. Improve children's visual perception function. Children must first have a strong visual perception function, to identify, to remember and to understand. For example, "length, point, line, surface, direction and angle" embodies the concept of "number shape" By recognizing real objects, children gradually experience their differences in "quantity and shape" and learn to express them with mathematical symbols. 2. Improve children's understanding of mathematical language. Symbols, formulas, equations, graphs, charts and words in mathematics need to be understood. Children need not only general reading ability to understand the words in mathematics, but also special reading ability to understand the "numbers and symbols" in mathematics, so parents often find that children with good Chinese scores may not do well in mathematics. That's the reason. For children who have difficulty in reading mathematics language, we should first improve their reading ability, and then cultivate their understanding of "numbers and symbols". Parents or teachers should find out which "numbers and symbols" their children have misunderstood and then implement targeted remedial measures. 4. Improve the generalization ability of mathematical materials. Abstract generalization ability of mathematical materials is the soul of mathematical learning ability. Because the essence of mathematics is to abandon the specific content and only extract "numbers and shapes" and operate these "numbers and shapes". If parents find their children have difficulties in this respect, they can start from the following three aspects: first, cultivate their children's ability to summarize language and written materials. Secondly, cultivate children's ability to generalize and reason about numbers. For example, parents give their children some numbers: "1, 3, 5, 7", and ask them to sum up the rules of this series of numbers and fill in the appropriate numbers in brackets according to the rules (9). Finally, it is to cultivate children's ability to generalize and reason about graphics. For example, parents show their children a set of graphs: (←, ↑, →, ↓), and ask them to seek their changing rules, twist them 90 degrees clockwise at a time, and fill in the appropriate graphs in brackets. In short, through the training of these three materials, children's sensitivity to generalization of mathematical materials can be effectively cultivated. 5. Prompt the child's computing ability. The operation ability of "number or symbol" is an important skill in mathematics learning. In our daily life, every moment is inseparable from calculation. Children will have various problems in operation and need specific analysis. For example, some children can do multiplication and division, but addition and subtraction often make mistakes. This is because multiplication and division mainly rely on auditory memory function, which can remember the multiplication table of 1999, that is, it may make mistakes, while addition and subtraction are more likely to make mistakes because of the influence of borrowing and borrowing, which involves visual function and memory. To sum up, the cultivation of mathematical ability is not simple. As the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day, and the cultivation of mathematical ability is also a long process. Parents should be good at discovering children's weaknesses and carrying out reinforcement and remedial training.
