First, children learn in life situations.
As we all know, children's interest in learning comes first. In order to stimulate children's interest in learning, we will create some learning scenes. For example, when I was teaching math, I used Joy and Big Big Wolf, which children liked, to create a life scene, and children were the protagonists. In the game of breaking through customs: fighting for music, under the guidance of the teacher, children step by step break through customs and experience the happiness of challenging themselves. Smart little buyers, children go to the supermarket to buy their favorite goods according to the task. "How many walnuts can you hold?" According to the comparison with the teacher's bottle, the children guess how many walnuts can be held in the container they choose. "Guessing Master" children know how to record their own game process and game results in exploration. How far can you jump? The children use a grid ruler to measure how far they can jump. In this case, children learn truth and nature.
Second, children learn through experience.
Children have the characteristics of intuitive action thinking, so operation and experience are the main ways for children to learn. Let children study in activities instead of always using group exercise paper in ordinary math activities. Take "smart little buyers" as an example. The children completed their teaching objectives in three activities. Task 1: Buy two items, record them on the purchase list, and then say which two items were selected and how much they cost. Task 2: Buy two items according to the price on the shopping list, record and tell them. Task 3: Time shopping. Two people cooperate to choose two items according to the price of the shopping list, which cannot be the same item. The requirements of task three are mainly reflected in the cooperation between the two. The children reviewed the relationship between numbers within 10 in repeated operations. Do children feel that they are learning mathematics in such activities? Children are just smart little buyers, and children learn unconsciously. This is the highest state of teaching.
Third, mathematics helps children solve problems in life.
What's the use of children learning math? The one-to-one correspondence of small classes is to send food to small animals; The application problem of the big class is that there are three butterflies on the grass, and three butterflies fly in. How many butterflies are there on the grass now? These scenes are far away from children's lives, so children may not appreciate the usefulness and interest of mathematics in their lives. However, after learning the guide, it is different. I understand that the relevant experience accumulated in activities can directly help children solve problems in life. Such as "Master Guessing Boxing", learn how to record the process and results of the game with children. Children in large classes have a strong sense of competition, and games like to decide the outcome. With this experience, future games can be recorded by yourself, without relying on teachers. Another example is "How far can you jump?" Children know the usage of the grid ruler, so the height of the child, the length of the table, etc., as long as several children cooperate, you can know the specific length. You see, how useful mathematics is to children's lives. Therefore, children's mathematics is not about operating papers one by one, but solving problems in life one by one.
This is a state in which children learn mathematics under the guidance of tutors, which should be the goal pursued by every teacher.
