Young children are young and their perception of knowledge is not too strong. To stimulate children's interest in learning, the teaching content must be related to children's life, so that children can happily acquire some simple mathematics knowledge in a relaxed living environment, which is conducive to stimulating children's interest in learning mathematics.
In our daily life environment, everything has a certain shape, size, orientation and so on. For example, the blackboard is rectangular, the ball is round, adults are tall, children are short, watermelons are big, apples are small, and so on. In teaching, teachers consciously guide the perception of mathematical knowledge in daily life. For example, when towels of various colors gather together, I tell my children that these are towels, thus initially infiltrating the concept of combination; When doing ball exercises, each child has a small ball to let them know the one-to-one quantitative relationship; In the classroom of free activities, the teacher asks the children to start as a whole, and can let them count or count, and let them know the order of counting or the relationship between numbers. The shape and size of children's toys are the contents of children's education. Children like to go shopping in the supermarket. In teaching, teachers can set scenes in their lives: Xiaoming bought a piece of toothpaste from 2 yuan and a piece of soap from 3 yuan in the supermarket. How much should he pay the cashier? This situation makes children relax and learn better. Teaching content comes from life. As long as teachers think hard and use real situations to infect them, I believe that children will definitely enter the colorful mathematics kingdom with great interest.
Second, the teaching form should be gamified.
Curiosity and imagination are the motivation of children's active learning. In order to arouse their strong interest in children's learning, entertaining children with toys and games is the most acceptable learning mode for children, and children may have different ways of playing and different ideas every time they play, which invisibly cultivates rich imagination and creativity. For example, in the "Understanding Graphics" class with activities in small classes, the teacher designed the activity room into a graphics kingdom, with colorful graphics and big building blocks piled up into castles, and the ground of the classroom was covered with various graphics, so that children could be in a magical kingdom, so that they could observe the castles, observe the graphics, arouse their interest, put on beautiful headdresses, and incarnate all kinds of cute graphics babies to play the game of "finding friends" and let them play. For example, in the lesson of "small animals queuing", let children dress up as various small animals, such as rabbits, kittens and puppies. Let the child feel where you are and where he is. Singing while waiting in line, everyone is very happy and interested in learning. Children have mastered mathematics knowledge easily and independently in the game, so they like mathematics, explore mathematics and learn mathematics.
Third, prepare rich materials for children.
The "Guidelines for Early Childhood Education" puts forward: "We should provide rich and operable materials for young children and provide conditions for each child to explore in various senses and ways." Different from other subjects in kindergarten, mathematics activity is an abstract logical event with high rational components. In the early childhood stage, intuitive images are the mainstay, and some operating materials suitable for children should be provided in teaching.
1, business materials should be diversified.
Psychologists once said: "The changeable stimulus is easy to attract children's attention." In order for children to truly become the masters of learning and give full play to the role of homework materials, the homework materials provided in teaching should conform to the age characteristics of children and be rich and colorful. For example, in the fifth lesson "Know Numbers", the teacher provides children with snowflakes, building blocks, buttons, small red flowers, dots and so on. Let the children choose the items they are interested in in their own hands-on operation, and let the children take out five building blocks or five small red flowers to form perceptual knowledge and make the impression of logarithm more profound.
2. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and provide multi-level materials.
Children's ability to accept is different. When preparing activity materials for children, we should also consider children's individual differences and provide children with different levels of materials, so that each child can easily control and use materials to achieve the real purpose of self-discovery, self-exploration and self-development. For example, when sorting items in length, provide children with different widths of paper strips, with a large number and small spacing; For children with weak ability, provide materials with obvious distance and less quantity. In class, we should pay attention to both overall differences and individual differences.
3. Provide interesting materials.
Children like lively and interesting materials. Only interesting, they will have a strong interest in learning, will have a good learning effect. For example, when teaching children to know all kinds of graphics, plasticine is prepared for them, so that children can pinch out all kinds of shapes through flexible little hands and master the basic characteristics of graphics in the process of pinching. Plasticine has the characteristics of strong operability and strong interest, and has many colors, which allows children to choose freely, and the works can also be enjoyed by everyone after extrusion. It's really interesting.
Four, mathematics teaching should be combined with kindergarten teaching.
The new syllabus proposes that the teaching of all subjects in kindergartens should be integrated. Mathematics teaching should permeate all subjects. In music teaching, physical education teaching and Chinese teaching, mathematics education should be infiltrated to develop children's oral expression ability, cultivate children's artistic interest, cultivate children's sentiment, and make children master certain mathematics knowledge unconsciously. For example, in physical education class's Little Tadpoles Looking for Mom, there are 15 tadpoles looking for their mothers, and the children count off themselves, from 1 to 15. In the process of looking for her mother, the tadpole encountered many difficulties, saw the triangular road sign and walked through the rectangular path, so that the child could know the mark and know which is closer, the straight line or the curve. Mathematics activities run through the whole activity, and children have mastered a lot of mathematics knowledge in sports activities.
Fifth, stimulate children's interest in the form of competitions.
With the growth of age, children have a competitive mentality, all want to be better than other children, and are particularly interested in launching some competitions. For example, when learning the division of numbers, children will be divided into two groups to compete to see which group can master the division of numbers quickly and correctly, and the winning group will get a small red flag. This will stimulate children's interest and make them feel the joy of success.
Interest is the best teacher for children. Mathematics is a systematic, logical and scientific subject, and teachers should try their best to explore and stimulate children's interest in learning mathematics. Only by making children interested can they have enthusiasm for learning, and our mathematics education can adapt to the development of the times.
