On the contrary, in mathematics learning, we often see such a phenomenon: children who often get high marks in the lower grades suddenly decline in mathematics scores in the third and fourth grades; By the time of the second day and the third day of junior high school, some children who were good at mathematics in the upper grades of primary school suddenly dropped their grades; After high school, there are still children who keep falling behind.
In mathematics learning, this phenomenon is called "falling behind". Many parents, including many educators, have tried to explain this strange phenomenon. Some people say that "children are playful and don't like learning", others say that "children can't keep up with more subjects", and others say that "they didn't lay a good foundation when they were young, and there were problems with their thinking and learning methods".
We tend to the last statement, more accurately: the math learning method is wrong and the math thinking is not perfect.
Today, I will talk to my parents about the importance of learning methods in math learning and which learning methods are beneficial to math learning.
First, the interest in mathematics learning
Many parents have similar puzzles: children who count with their parents and are good at math get worse and worse after entering school, and begin to have negative emotions about math, but it is obvious that math was close to full marks before. What's going on here?
Studies have shown that around the age of 9, the development of human brain nerves is about 98%. Therefore, if children want to become smarter and have more perfect thinking development, they must be inspired before the age of 9, and efforts after the age of 9 may not be as effective as before.
Children get proficiency by leaning back, back and brushing questions. It is inevitable that the learning progress brought by this learning method can't keep up with the complexity of later math problems. Because this learning method can only cultivate the automatic response to the test questions, it is not combined with the practical application in real life, and it does not have much positive effect on children's interest in mathematics learning and the formation of mathematical thinking.
To cultivate children's interest in mathematics learning, we must first cultivate children's initiative in learning, because children with this trait are curious about everything, willing to explore more, love to ask questions and love to think. If children have this trait, parents must not stifle it, and encourage them to think more and ask more questions, which is the primary condition for mathematics learning.
Second, the foundation of mathematics-"lay the foundation"
Advertising in teaching and auxiliary institutions is rampant, and all kinds of case propaganda have poured a bucket of oil on anxious parents' hearts, so more children have poured into the whirlpool of extracurricular remedial classes. In fact, many parents, including children themselves, are very sure whether they have mastered the basic knowledge of books.
Really understand textbook knowledge and examples, and do after-school exercises with current book knowledge. Although it sounds simple, it is essentially to check whether the child has really mastered these basic knowledge points.
Basic knowledge points, including concepts, definitions, theorems and formulas. , are the basis of mathematics learning.
These are all from textbooks. If you really know these things, children don't need extracurricular tutoring classes at all. Moreover, the remedial class will not focus on this part of the content at all, but will only expand the more difficult questions. How can children who haven't even laid a solid foundation digest these extracurricular tutoring contents?
Third, learning strategies.
First, reduce the use of electronic products; Clear learning objectives; Make a strict study plan and carry it out seriously; Organize knowledge points in time; Summarize learning methods and combine work and rest.
Cultivate the habit of questioning
In family education, children don't need others to help them with their studies. The best way is to inspire children to think and learn through games. Parents can also deliberately make some "mistakes" to guide their children to discover and think. In this way, children can learn to ask questions actively, learn to question and reflect, and gradually form their own unique opinions and habits of independence and confidence.
draw inferences about other cases from one instance
Learning a knowledge point, can you master similar problems? No, when children can think flexibly and apply it to other similar topics, they can extract this key knowledge point in more complicated topics in the future, which is the real mastery.
Spending more energy on tutoring and brushing more questions is often not as effective as consolidating basic knowledge. Simply remembering knowledge points can't open the way of thinking. You can only talk about the topic, and you can't draw inferences. See through the essence of things, and we can draw inferences from others.
error logging
In addition to summarizing, the wrong question book also has the function of reminding. The wrong question is not copied for the sake of copying the wrong question, otherwise it becomes an endorsement and loses its meaning. The wrong question is to record the thinking and feelings of solving the problem and summarize the thinking in time.
There is also a very effective way to solve wrong problems-talk about them. If parents spend a lot of time with their children when they study with them, they might as well show them that they can't do it after the homework, guide them to explain the problems and encourage them to teach like teachers. This is to straighten out the difficult ideas and review the difficulties. If the child speaks well, parents can also give small rewards to make the child feel more fulfilled.
Improve class efficiency
During the study period, classroom time accounts for most of the children's time. Therefore, the efficiency of class directly determines children's learning.
Speaking of it, several aspects that need to be paid attention to to to improve the efficiency of listening to lectures are commonplace. The first is to preview in a targeted way. Only when difficulties are found in the preview can we grasp the key points of the lecture. Follow the teacher's thinking when listening to the class, focusing on your eyes, ears and mouth; After class, review in time, check for gaps, cross-compare old and new knowledge, whether there is any connection, and spread ideas.
Fourth, mathematical thinking.
The most important thing in mathematics learning is thinking. Seriously master logical thinking, analyze the ideas and methods of solving problems, summarize mathematics learning methods, realize analogy and improve the ability of thinking and solving problems.
Use the language that children can understand, topics and games that they are interested in, from concrete to abstract, and really cultivate children's mathematical thinking! Let every child love math!
