First, learn math in the game.
Educators say: "Toys are children's angels, and games are children's companions." Children make progress in daily growing through games and play. Games are deeply loved by children, and games that incorporate mathematical knowledge or design mathematical activities in games are more popular with children. In math activities, I always use games to attract children's attention and get them involved in the activities. Such boring math knowledge will become interesting because of the game, simple and repeated exercises will become vivid because of the game, and children will learn easily and happily, and the effect will be better.
1. Design math games with daily life activities. Daily activities account for a large proportion of small class children's daily activities. Considering the psychological needs of parents, they also hope that teachers will pay more attention to children's life care rather than study. Therefore, integrating mathematics knowledge into children's daily activities is a subject that small class mathematics teachers must face. Accordingly, I designed some games to let children learn math knowledge in their daily activities. For example, when eating cookies, children are mostly concerned about the activity of "eating" and will not consider other things. I will inspire children to use their brains to make cookies "magic", turn them into triangles, circles and squares. In this way, in the life of eating cookies, children will no longer pay attention to eating, but also consolidate their understanding of graphics and cultivate the habit of thinking.
2. Design math games with special cases that children are interested in. Children in small classes can't keep their attention for a long time because they are young, and they can't love boring math and concentrate. Once, I organized children to watch a magic show. I found that in the whole process, my friends can pay close attention and watch with relish. This shows that children in small classes cannot concentrate for a relatively long time, but it depends on the content and form. Can attract children's content and form, in order to maintain children's attention for a long time. Inspired by this special case of life, I used the method of "magic" to help children review their math knowledge. For example, I combine colors and graphics to review. I deliberately hid all kinds of figures behind my back with exaggerated actions and said, "One, two, three, change, change!" " Children's eyes are wide open to see what changes have taken place, and their attention is highly concentrated, so the practice effect will be better.
Second, physical education learns mathematics.
Some people say that children know the world around them by touching, crawling, rolling and hitting. Children in small classes prefer sports because of their age. In line with the characteristics of this age, I pay attention to combining math exercises with sports, that is, sports games, so that children can learn math in sports, and the effect is also obvious.
1. Adapting existing sports games. Many ready-made sports games focus on the training of children's basic motor skills, which are loved by children because of their simplicity and fun. If we integrate mathematical knowledge into it, isn't it not only practicing sports skills but also consolidating mathematical knowledge? Can be described as killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, in the teaching practice, I consciously adapted the ready-made sports games and incorporated math exercises into them. Such as; "racquet" is a traditional sport. Combining the teaching of "1" and "many" and the score of less than 3, I added "take once", "take many times" and "take three times" to the original game, so that children can practice jumping with both feet and answer "jump once", "jump many times" and "jump three times". The adapted sports games are more in line with the teaching practice and are more conducive to children's mastery of mathematics knowledge.
2. Create sports games as needed. According to the education plan of mathematics, many games are operated by children on the desktop indoors. Can you create some outdoor sports games including math exercises? Because that can not only meet the needs of children's outdoor activities, but also carry out math exercises. Practice has proved that it is feasible to create some easy-to-organize sports games according to the needs of mathematics teaching. For example, combined with the teaching of "sorting by size", we can create an outdoor game of "I'll queue up to get the ball"; Combined with graphic teaching, we can create a sports game "hopscotch" and so on.
Third, learn mathematics in materials.
Children know by operation. Providing children with operational materials with educational value can make children use all kinds of senses, use their hands and brains, explore problems and gain something in the process of interacting with materials.
Acquire knowledge. Material is the intermediary for children to learn mathematics, and it carries the goal of mathematics education. Therefore, the materials provided should be structured and interesting. To this end, we often create rich activity space for children and provide interesting, operable and rich mathematical game materials. For example, we cut the potato chip jar into the shape of a hand, roll it into a colored circle with colored foam paper, give this group of materials a nice name "Wear a ring for mom", guide children to put a circle on their mother's finger, and train their hand-eye coordination ability. But with the deepening of the game, the circles provided are also colorful. After accumulating rich experience, children naturally explore the ability to classify fingers according to different colors or wear them on their fingers according to color intervals, and naturally penetrate the ability of classification and two-dimensional sorting in the operation of materials. Another example is our flower arrangement goldfish. We fully excavate the waste-Sprite bottles, and make them into multifunctional scales in red, yellow, blue and green. At the same time, there are various animal images that children like and are familiar with. These images also have different colors. At first, the children put scales all over the goldfish's body aimlessly, and then guided them to explore various methods of inserting scales, some with colors and some with animal images. When the child succeeds, we don't forget to say to the child: Thank you for putting on beautiful clothes for the goldfish. Next time, we will design different clothes for goldfish. This not only makes children full of confidence in themselves, but also puts forward requirements for the next activities. In addition, the selection of materials should be hierarchical.
