To solve an application problem, we must first understand the meaning of the problem. For primary school students, especially children in lower grades, when solving application problems, they often don't understand the meaning of the problems. For example, when explaining the problem of spreading pancakes to children, they may ask what a pot is. In order to improve children's understanding of application problems, we should guide them to know more about life and discover more mathematics. Let children find mathematics in their lives, which is very helpful for their understanding of application problems.
2. Teachers should make it simple.
The solution of application problems is often based on practical problems. Due to the lack of life experience, primary school students can't quickly and accurately understand the problem situation given in the application problem, which is a great challenge for primary school students. Therefore, in the specific application teaching activities, teachers should explain the background of the problem to students in a simple way, and strive to guide students to grasp the key information in the application problem and accurately grasp the key conditions and substantive content of the problem.
3. Let children think independently and understand common sense.
What should children do if they have poor understanding of math application problems? When a child encounters a problem, parents can explain the technical terms and object principles in the problem to the child, and then guide the child to think independently. Through long-term independent thinking training, children will accumulate experience and gradually improve their understanding of applied problems. In addition, let children know some common sense knowledge, such as time, space, mathematical algorithms and so on. This common sense is very important for solving application problems.
4. Students study in groups.
Communication and cooperation between classmates is a very important method in learning. "It is ignorant to study alone without friends", "You have an apple, I have an apple, and after we exchange it, it is still an apple; You have an idea, I have an idea, and we each have two ideas after the exchange. " In the process of solving application problems, students should be guided to have full communication and discussion, so that students can show their own methods to each other. Through such brainstorming, most students can master more methods, which will also help most students better understand and solve math problems.
