1, decompose the problem and guide it step by step. Math problems usually contain multiple steps and concepts, and it may be difficult for children to understand the whole problem at once. At this time, parents and teachers can try to break down the problem into smaller steps and gradually guide the children to solve the problem.
For example, if children don't understand a concept in the topic, they can understand it first, and then instruct them how to apply it to solve the problem. Step-by-step guidance can help children better understand problems and improve their ability to solve problems.
2. Use visual AIDS or charts. Children's way of thinking is usually intuitive, so using intuitive teaching AIDS or charts can help children better understand math problems. For example, parents and teachers can use objects or pictures to demonstrate concepts in math problems, or use simple charts to help children understand the structure of problems and the steps to solve them. These intuitive teaching AIDS and charts can help children better master mathematical concepts and methods and improve their understanding and application ability of mathematics.
3. Encourage children to think from multiple angles. There are usually many solutions to mathematical problems. Encouraging children to think from multiple angles can cultivate children's divergent thinking and innovative ability. Parents and teachers can guide their children to try different ways to solve problems, or let them come up with their own solutions. In the process of guiding children to think from multiple angles, parents and teachers should also pay attention to giving children enough support and affirmation, so that children can feel that their thinking and attempts are valuable.
Common problem-solving methods in mathematics;
1, substitution method Method of substitution is a very basic mathematical problem-solving method, which is suitable for many different types of problems. The basic idea of this method is to substitute the known value given in the topic into the equation or formula, and then get the answer through simple operation. For example, when solving a linear equation with one variable, we can substitute the known value of the equation, and then get the unknown value by shifting terms and merging similar terms.
2. Graphical method. Graphic method is a very intuitive method to solve mathematical problems, which is suitable for many problems related to geometry and graphics. The basic idea of this method is to draw the figure or geometric shape described in the topic, and then solve the problem by observing and analyzing the figure. For example, when solving the area of a triangle, you can draw a triangle and mark the known value in the graph, and then get the answer through formula calculation.
3. Step by step approximation method. Step-by-step approximation is an advanced mathematical problem-solving method, which is suitable for some complicated or difficult problems to solve directly. The basic idea of this method is to approach the answer by gradual approximation. For example, when solving a more complex equation, we can find an approximate solution by observing and analyzing the characteristics of the equation, and then optimize the approximate solution by gradual approximation, and finally get an accurate solution.
