Children can't learn math well. What you have to do is not to scold, but to reflect on whether there is a problem with your teaching methods first.
Nowadays, many children are particularly prone to encounter bottlenecks when facing abstract operational thinking problems and application problems. How to solve them?
To this end, we give parents three words: "retreat" and retreat to a place where children can accept it; "Pass" to help children get through the context of knowledge; "Slow", give children enough time to think.
Mathematics is closely related to daily life. Primary school mathematics is the foundation for children to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry and deeper modern science and technology in the future. Most parents can help their children with primary school mathematics, but how to make their children gain the ability to learn mathematics from primary school mathematics learning, establish a sense of numbers and build confidence in mathematics learning? Let's share with you how parents can help their children learn primary school mathematics well.
First, for primary school mathematics learning, parents should first emphasize the function of training thinking, and then emphasize the practicality of mathematics.
Everything needs to be traced back to the source. From the beginning of exploring the source of mathematics, children will feel that mathematics is actually a very interesting subject.
Many parents think that the best way to improve their children's math performance is to let them do more problems. This is actually a wrong idea. The purpose of doing the problem is to train thinking and master the appropriate amount. Most children who are weak in mathematics have had the painful experience of asking questions about sea tactics. If they just do the problems mechanically, they will feel disgusted and naturally can't learn math well.
Second, parents should know something about the textbooks for the first grade of primary school mathematics. Now try to introduce them from the following aspects:
1. Contents and requirements of the first semester of Grade One mathematics:
Understanding, writing, addition and subtraction of (1) 1 to 10. Including physical diagram, numbers within 10, understanding and writing of numbers within 1 5, addition and subtraction within 5, understanding and writing of numbers of 0 and 0, understanding and writing of numbers from 6 to 10, and continuous addition and subtraction.
(2) How to read and write the numbers from 1 1 to 20. Including: reading and writing the number 1 1 to 20, decimal digits and decimal digits, reading and writing the number 1 1 to 20, and understanding the clock face (you can see the hour).
(3) carry addition and subtraction within 20. Including: simple application problems of carry addition and addition and subtraction within 20.
(4) Understand graphics. A preliminary understanding of rectangle and square.
2. Contents and requirements of the second semester:
Subtract abdication within (1) 20.
(2) How to read and write numbers within 100. Including: counting numbers within 100, understanding the reading and writing methods of numbers within 100, adding and subtracting integer decimal, adding one digit to integer decimal and corresponding subtraction, understanding elements, angles and minutes and simple calculation.
(3) Addition and subtraction within100. Include integer ten plus or minus integer ten, two plus one, integer ten (no carry), two minus one, integer ten (no abdication), two plus one (carry), two minus one (abdication) and two plus two minus two.
(4) Understand graphics. A preliminary understanding of cuboid, cube, cylinder and sphere.
Third, parents cultivate their children's mathematics learning ability from life.
This is not only the application of mathematics in life, but also beyond mathematics itself. Let children read more extracurricular books, don't stick to a certain subject, and read extensively, especially popular science books and biographies of celebrities, so that children can experience the infinite charm of knowledge from books and constantly find spiritual motivation for learning.
Fourth, parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's sense of numbers.
Some children will treat addition as subtraction after entering the first grade of primary school. There are two possibilities: one is that the child is careless, and the other is that the child has not understood the meaning of addition and subtraction, confusing concepts and making mistakes. Parents should not scold their children too much for this. It is best to explain what addition and subtraction mean to children with the help of the physical objects around them.
Generally, after a semester of study and training, the first-grade primary school students can work out the answers in their minds within 20 years without adding or subtracting their fingers. However, it is not excluded that 5% ~ 10% children have poor sense of numbers and lack the habit of independent thinking, which leads to difficulty in mental arithmetic.
In this case, parents should not lose heart. First, we should communicate with our children's math teacher, hoping that the teacher can give them proper training and encourage them in time. At the same time, parents should consciously cultivate their children's sense of number. For example, take children shopping, let them help calculate how much they should pay and how much they should change, and let them feel the ubiquity and influence of numbers in their lives.
Fifth, abstract topics can be found through special examples.
Elementary school mathematics is relatively not difficult, and many parents will personally guide their children to learn mathematics. But many parents also find it difficult to teach.
"Many parents find it difficult to teach their children because they always use adult thinking to guide them." Zhang Yiwen said.
For example: given dividend+quotient × divisor =72, how to find dividend?
Parents usually use reasoning to guide: because dividend = quotient× divisor, the original formula = dividend+dividend =72, and the dividend =36.
Obviously, this way of deduction is easy for adults to understand, but it is more abstract for children in lower grades. Therefore, it is suggested that when teaching such topics, parents should "retreat" to the idea that children can understand better, that is, start with specific examples and let children find the law from them.
"Because 12÷3=4,12+3× 4 = 24; Because 18÷2=9, so18+2× 9 = 36 ... "A few examples, children will find the law, the original" dividend+quotient× divisor = sum ",now go back and solve the example just now.
Sixth, the application problem "de-contextualization" can start with the real thing.
In the third grade of primary school, the application problem involving "elimination method" is the key and difficult point. Many parents complain that their children know how to eliminate Yuan, but once they put the problem into the situation of life, they don't know what to do. "If the child's ability to de-contextualize is weak, it may be better to start with the real thing."
Don't be afraid of trouble. It may take a long time to guide children to do problems through physical examples, but it will make them easier to understand and will not be afraid of such application problems in the future.
