Children are exposed to mathematics enlightenment, and the critical period should not be missed.
Recently, many parents of senior one and senior two students called for advice, and they all felt the same: when their children went to kindergarten, they didn't expect so many problems after they went to primary school!
In fact, the main reason for the current predicament is that we failed to grasp the personalized young connection for our children in the critical period, which led to many problems in primary schools in the future: originally smart children's eyes were dim, they could not concentrate in class and homework, their learning efficiency was low, and there were a lot of learning problems, even they were tired of learning ... Parents were anxious, but they were also helpless.
Young convergence plays a great role in children's future study and life, and its far-reaching influence is not realized by many parents. As children enter primary school, they really start a long road of life learning. The efforts made in the early transition period will be transformed into children's good study habits, correct ways of thinking, and learning quality that they like to think and explore ... and these abilities will become a powerful help for children to stand out from many students. The following is a summary of the most important links in the young connection for parents:
Help children form good study habits.
Study habits are an important guarantee for a child to learn any knowledge. Once he has developed good study habits, it will be a great development for him to learn anything in the future. Therefore, in the early stage of learning mathematics, the most important thing is how to guide children to develop good study habits. As parents, the purpose of cultivating children's good study habits is very clear and simple, that is, I hope that children will be better than others in the learning process of the upcoming primary school, the upcoming middle school and the distant university, at least in one respect. To put it bluntly, we should have stronger learning ability than ordinary people.
The core of learning ability lies in attention, memory and comprehensive analysis ability. The cultivation of preschool children's learning ability should focus on the improvement of attention and memory.
1) Attention
UNESCO believes that children's attention level is the main reason for learning differences. In addition, because I have been engaged in preschool education for a long time, I have met many children with little difference in intelligence level, but children who pay attention in class often have much better grades than children with attention difficulties.
This is because when the attention is highly concentrated, it is easy for children to understand and master the classroom content; Excellent attention distribution skills, excellent in listening, speaking, reading and writing; Strong ability to actively divert attention, strong sense of cooperation, collaboration and innovation; The ears, eyes, mouth and hands are highly coordinated, and the body and mind are fully developed. In short, as long as children's attention is grasped, they can easily complete their learning tasks, and the more they learn, the more confident they are, and the more they like learning.
Recommend a practical book about children's attention training to parents-children's attention 5+5 fun training. The book system comes from a famous family and was developed by Ren Guoqiang, a senior researcher at China Institute of Thinking Science. After thousands of children's experiments, the method is scientific, practical and effective, and parents can train their children in their spare time at home.
Of course, if attention training can be integrated into classroom education, the effect will be better. In this way, attention training is directly integrated into the process of knowledge transfer, so that children can be completely exposed to the usual classroom environment, so that they can pay close attention to the school classroom.
Recently, at the request of many parents, the young transfer class has increased learning and thinking. The training methods such as "shulte table", staring, meditation training and sensory energy, which are popular all over the world, are a complete and effective training method for children's attention, which can make all children receive attention training while learning knowledge, lay a solid foundation for future classroom learning and make every child become excellent.
2) Memory
Learning is a repetitive process of memory and forgetting. The purpose of learning is to let children remember the knowledge and skills they have learned for a long time. Usually memory is divided into auditory memory, tactile memory and visual memory. Among them, visual memory is the core memory, and most knowledge comes from visual memory. Therefore, it is particularly important to cultivate and improve children's visual memory ability. Teacher Du introduced a game in the lecture: take a simple picture and observe 10 seconds or so. Then parents take the picture away and ask questions according to the content of the picture: What's in the picture? What colors are there in this painting? Wait, let the children answer from memory ... After several such trainings, take a slightly more complicated picture, give the children more time to observe (15 to 20 seconds), and tell them to ask questions after reading it, and then look at the picture. At this time, the child will take the initiative to carefully observe the picture. Of course, the affirmation of every progress of children (even a small progress) makes children feel rewarded, so that children can and are willing to take the initiative to observe their memories. This can cultivate children's observation habits. In fact, in daily life, such games abound: after getting off by taxi, the car drove away and asked the children the color and license plate number of the car.
Pay attention to children's mathematics enlightenment
Children's development experts believe that people's intellectual development is mainly concentrated in 0-7 years old, and its proportion reaches 80% of their life. Five years old is a crucial period for children to learn mathematics. It's a pity to miss it, because the children's future mathematical foundation was laid during the children's enlightenment. In fact, mathematical enlightenment is like the root of a tree and the foundation of a building. If trees are to grow tall, their roots should be deep and wide; If a child's life building is to be built in the sky, the foundation must be solid and stable. The construction of mathematics ability in the enlightenment period will affect children's mathematics learning all their lives.
Mathematics belongs to the category of mathematical logic thinking, which has inherent abstraction and organization. Different from language art education, children's passive learning is more likely to trigger children's intrinsic learning motivation such as curiosity, interest, desire for expression and sense of accomplishment. Therefore, it takes some skills to concretize and simplify abstract and complex mathematical knowledge and teach it directly and effectively to children.
As the famous scientist Einstein said, "Interest is the teacher of students." Interest is also the motivation for children to learn. Therefore, the most important thing for preschool children to contact mathematics is to arouse their interest in mathematics language and activities. How can we arouse children's interest? The simplest and most effective way is to guide children to discover mathematics in life from their daily life experience in the form of story description.
In the mathematics part of the young bridging class opened in our school, the teaching theme is mostly placed in the activity scene for children to experience, understand and apply, and to show the practicality of mathematics to children; In addition, according to the curriculum, some school tools will be distributed to let children experience the learning content and increase the fun of mathematics.
