3-6 years old is the key period of children's physical and mental development, and the sensitive period of children mostly occurs at 3-6 years old. Children will come out of generate with amazing strength and enthusiasm to learn and explore external things, so the effect of receiving education is also the most obvious. The sensitive period is precisely the golden age of children's various abilities. At what age is it best to start children's mathematics enlightenment? The answer is: it is recommended to be around three years old. Of course, 3 years old is not a fixed period of time, and parents need to decide according to their own mental development.
The brain develops rapidly: 3-6 years old is the peak of children's brain development, the connections between neurons in the brain increase rapidly, and synapses between neurons are constantly formed and consolidated. At this stage, children's learning ability, memory and thinking ability have been significantly improved.
High interest in learning: Children aged 3-6 have a high interest in new things and knowledge, and they are eager to explore and learn. Children in this period can understand mathematical concepts relatively easily, and their mathematical thinking can be cultivated by observing and comparing the characteristics of quantity, shape and size.
Can form basic cognition: 3-6 years old is the key period for children to form basic cognition. At this stage, children begin to develop basic concepts such as space, quantity and time, and can understand simple mathematical concepts, such as counting, addition and subtraction. Through mathematics enlightenment, children can be helped to establish correct mathematical thinking mode and basic cognition.
Generally speaking, 3-6 years old is the golden age of children's mental development, so 3 years old is the best time to start mathematics enlightenment education.
