Later, at a salon meeting, a doctor's mother shared it, which made Mozi realize that compared with music, dance, painting and even science, mathematics knowledge does have its own special features-because it is really boring-and most children think so about the education methods of most parents. Mathematics does not have an external image like natural objects, nor does it have fantastic changes like scientific phenomena, nor is it full of moving melodies or bright colors like works of art. Children generally do not spontaneously become interested in the abstract mathematical attributes behind things. Most of them are interested in colorful, vivid and varied things.
Therefore, it is necessary to change methods, give appropriate guidance, stimulate children's interest in mathematics, and lay a good foundation from an early age.
Start with concrete objects with bright colors and vivid images, and gradually guide children to understand the abstract mathematical attributes behind things. For example, Mozi often guides children to find out what the geometric figures in a specific image are, or find quantitative attributes in a pile of objects. From "playing" to letting children experience interesting things in mathematics, the effect is remarkable.
Second, start with things and events that children are familiar with and interested in, rather than abstract math problems. At first, my daughter-in-law and I didn't understand, so we asked the children to recite, count and answer some calculation questions directly. We found them very resistant and bored. Later, we improved the method and tried to solve the problems related to his interests in life (such as games, giving candy to children fairly, giving fruits to grandparents, uncles and aunts, etc.). ), and found that children will actively seek solutions. Over time, the children themselves will ask us math questions.
Third, start with operational activities and avoid simple oral questions and answers and counting. Active is a child's nature. All parents know this, but most parents let it go, as long as they don't break too big eggs. However, this doctor's mother is very smart. She used the child's nature to stimulate the child's passion for learning mathematics through specific semi-game activities such as counting, placing, queuing and corresponding, and successfully guided the child to like learning mathematics. After practice, Mozi has achieved good results.
