Mathematical intelligence refers to the ability to use numbers and reason effectively. Mathematical intelligence is one of the most important basic intelligence in human intelligence structure. An important aspect of baby's understanding of nature is to understand various quantitative relations, shapes and spatial concepts of nature, and use these quantitative relations, shapes and spatial concepts to learn, so as to further improve the baby's mathematical intelligence level. In early education, parents should make use of all available conditions to gradually improve their baby's mathematical intelligence.
2-3 years old
Babies aged 2-3 have simple mathematical ability and can count simple numbers. In life, as long as you are willing to be a dedicated mother, you can take advantage of these opportunities to train your baby's mathematical intelligence anytime and anywhere, whether it is eating with your baby, playing games or taking your baby out for a trip.
1, count the steps on the stairs.
For children, long stairs sometimes make them feel very tired and tasteless, but if parents can have some interesting methods, they can not only improve their baby's mathematical intelligence, but also increase the baby's pleasure in going up the stairs. A mother can mysteriously ask her baby, "Do you know how many steps there are in this staircase?" "Let's count and see who counts right?" In this way, the baby's curiosity is aroused at once, and he will walk cheerfully step by step and count the steps of the stairs.
2, baby shopping
Babies often stubbornly do what adults don't want them to do. In fact, parents can't let themselves go and let their babies become addicted. Increase your baby's various experiences and make your baby's life more colorful. This will also lay a good foundation for the baby's future life ability.
Recommended game: baby shopping in the supermarket
1. Parents put toys, dolls, baby's clothes and other small things at home, put labels on them and mark the price.
2. The mother plays the shop assistant and the baby plays the customer.
3. The baby has a crush on an item (such as 2 yuan). The baby is out of 5 yuan, and the mother is looking for 2 yuan. If the baby doesn't find anything wrong, the mother will remind him until the baby gives the correct answer, and so on. You can also let the baby do sales and the mother do customers.
Reminder: don't use too big and too difficult numbers to mark the price; Do the right thing and encourage your baby in time; When the baby makes a mistake, don't be rude and don't be born at the wrong time.
3-5 years old
During this period, the baby gradually began to master mathematical concepts, perform abstract operations, and synthesize mathematical abilities. Therefore, we should create novel and interesting games according to the characteristics of babies in this period. Parents cultivate their baby's mathematical intelligence efficiently according to the principle of developing mathematical intelligence.
Principles of developing mathematical intelligence: educational principles, starting from the characteristics of children's cognitive thinking; Interest principle, interest is the motivation of children's learning, and parents should be good at mobilizing their enthusiasm and initiative; The principle of development, the design of games and other activities should be challenging for the baby, because games that are too simple or too difficult can't arouse the baby's interest.
1, measure the size of the room.
Method 1: Parents and babies walk from the wall here to the wall there to see how wide the room is. See if the number of "feet" measured by mother is the same as that of baby? Why?
Method 2: Measure the length of the room with your arm.
Ask the baby if the amount measured this time is the same as last time? Why? Finally, guide the baby to know that the measurement unit is different and the measured results are different.
Reminder: You don't have to use a ruler to measure things. Everything can be used as a unit of measurement. During the game, you can also guide your baby to think: What else can you use to measure the length of the room? Guide children to open their eyes and measure the length of other objects, such as sofa and TV.
2, the baby cuts the cake
Game purpose: let the baby know the score.
1. Guide the baby to count and see how many people are there at home today.
2. Guide the baby to know how many portions the cake should be divided into? How should I divide it?
3. Take the opportunity to ask the baby: "How much do you think is left now?" Or the mother guides the baby: "I gave you one of the six cakes, another of the six cakes to my mother, and one of the six cakes to my grandmother, so now there are three of the six cakes left."
In the game, the baby can easily understand the concept of score. This kind of image explanation will lay a good foundation for the baby's systematic academic performance in the future.
3, the baby put bowls and chopsticks
Game purpose: let the baby understand multiplication and division in life games.
1. Baby, count how many people are there in the family.
2. Let the baby say how many pairs of chopsticks and bowls should be put.
3. Further guide the baby: "Baby, we have to put three pairs of chopsticks and three bowls now, so how many bowls and chopsticks do we have to take out?" The mother can also remind the baby: "We each need two chopsticks to eat!" " "Unconsciously extended to the concept of multiplication and division.
4. Encourage your baby to put bowls and chopsticks. Even if the baby doesn't get the right number of chopsticks, in the process of swinging, the baby will naturally have a process of self-correction. Take off too many chopsticks, or make up enough, let the baby count the number of chopsticks again.
In this interesting and simple little game, it doesn't take too long for the baby to learn math knowledge easily, and even if he forgets it, it's easy to remember it again. Parents should entertain and educate their babies, combine their interests and encourage them to ask more questions and explore more.
