A child, when he was 3 years old, found that his father's account book had a calculation error. At the age of 9, the teacher asked the students to increase from 1 to 100, and he immediately gave the correct answer: 5050; 1 1 years old, he discovered the binomial theorem. His name is Gauss, and he grew up to be the greatest mathematician in19th century.
There is also a child who can mentally calculate eight-digit division at the age of six and master calculus at the age of eight. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, he knows the profound mathematical fields such as set theory and functional analysis like the back of his hand. His name is John? Feng? Neumann, who developed the first computer when he grew up, is known as the "father of computers".
So, does the "mathematical genius" baby really exist? There is no doubt that the answer is yes.
So, are math prodigies born or cultivated?
Many people think that "mathematical genius" babies must be related to heredity. However, scientists disagree with this statement.
Not long ago, psychologists at Harvard University in the United States published an amazing study and found that 5-year-old children are born mathematicians. They can master digital abstract concepts and arithmetic laws by themselves without receiving formal education or imparting relevant knowledge. However, the intervention of acquired education may adjust and modify the innate brain biological structure, which may have positive or negative effects.
This undoubtedly sends us a positive signal: everyone can learn math well through hard work!
Parents, under the correct guidance, your child will also become a "math genius" baby. Remember, when giving children mathematics enlightenment, the following five things are worth trying!
What is a sense of number? For example, when calculating how much 24x9 is equal to, people with a sense of number will not only think of calculating vertically, but also think of calculating in a way of 24x 10-24, that is, they are good at using various strategies to solve mathematical problems, which is actually a sense of number.
As far as training methods are concerned, parents can try to play some math games with their children: for example, count from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 … to the limit of their children; Countdown, 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94 ...; Or change the mode, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ...; Or such a number, 2,4,6,8,10 ...; You can also do this, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ... and so on.
In a word, it is to use some rules to set rules, become a part of the game between you and your children, and make mathematics a fascinating intellectual game.
Studies have shown that when a mathematician is doing problem calculus, the part of his brain that is usually responsible for long-term memory will also become active, while the average person does not. In other words, mathematicians use more memory in calculus, which speeds up the process.
Similarly, in daily life, parents can actively guide their children to observe the existence of numbers and exercise their memory and reasoning ability. For example, there is a fixed link in my class called number sensitivity training, that is, before each class, I write down today's year, month, day, day of the week, current time and expected time of class to guide children to pay more attention in life. Then, knowing today's date, it is inferred that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even ten days later, is the month and date of the week.
In mathematical application problems, comprehension and vocabulary are closely related. The more words you master, the better your understanding will be. If the child can't even understand the meaning of the question, how can he solve the next question?
Parent-child reading is a good way to exercise understanding ability, and parents can inspire their children's thinking in the process of reading with them. For example, let the children make up a story by themselves; After reading the story, ask some detailed questions about the plot and ask the children if they have observed it and remembered it. After reading the whole book, try to let the children repeat it or summarize it in their own words; If you look at the pictures, see if your child can imagine a complicated "plot". Wait a minute.
The reason why I emphasize "individual" here is because I have observed that more and more parents like to intervene now and can't wait to rush to the front instead of doing everything. Sometimes kindergartens have to hand in a handmade work, and parents will try their best to make one when their children are sleeping, and then send a circle of friends to "complain" for a while.
To tell the truth, this is nothing to show off, because you have forcibly deprived your child of the opportunity to start working. In fact, there are many opportunities for children to operate "math experiments" and it is easy to achieve. For example, prepare some simple measuring tools for children to measure their height and weight, and the length and weight of things around them. Let children feel the concrete existence of numbers. Let the children know that "number" is around and with themselves.
As a parent, do you think it is easy to solve a math problem, but it is not easy to explain it clearly to your child? When learning Chinese, the materials and vocabulary are all in my mind, but if I want to write a good work, I am stumped; Practice English conversation, the other person knows everything, and the words you want to reply are on the tip of your tongue, but if you want to answer like a stream, you get stuck …
Yes, the export of knowledge is not an easy task, which requires parents to "strike while the iron is hot", constantly strengthen their own construction and learn and grow together with their children. Therefore, don't throw those hard-won enlightenment songs, nursery rhymes, picture books and exercises to children, and everything will be fine and the task will be completed.
Put the phone down quickly, pick up the book, and remember: you are the best example for children to grow up!
