How important is mathematical thinking? There are several ways to make your child's math score "turn around" against the wind
It is difficult for most children and parents to bypass the "problem" and "topic" of mathematics, many students are discouraged from mathematics, and many fans leave us decimal places in the background. How to stimulate children's interest in mathematics?
We all know that children who "play math" will not be bad at math. Especially in junior high school and high school, there will be a clear stratification of students' mathematics scores, and the factor behind it is whether they have formed a good mathematical thinking. Primary and secondary school are very important for cultivating children's mathematical thinking, which will directly affect children's ability to learn mathematics in the future.
Modern education believes that mathematical thinking is to guide students to concretize mathematical ideas according to mathematical materials, perform mathematical calculations, and form mathematical perception in the process of mathematics teaching activities, which is what we often say"Number sense", which in turn translates into the ability to think and solve problems from a mathematical point of view.
As the American mathematician Hammers said, the problem of mathematics is the heart of mathematical thinking, and there is a mathematical problem that begins and leads to a series of logical thinking, that is, the so-called problem chain.
To put it simply, it is to use mathematical concepts, ideas, and methods to find out the logical relationship between things, including eight ways of thinking: positive thinking, reverse thinking, orderly thinking, regular thinking, logical thinking, group thinking, holistic thinking, and divergent thinking, that is, mathematical thinking.
When we describe a thing with numbers, we need to quantify it according to the characteristics of the thing, so that we can understand things more clearly and more clearly.
1. Cultivate the profundity of mathematical thinking.
Thinking profundity refers to the degree of abstraction and logic of thinking activities, as well as the depth and difficulty of thinking activities. I believe that most students have had such a situation, sometimes the teacher comments on the test papers, and it is easy to understand the process of solving the wrong questions, and suddenly realize that they have made such a low-level mistake, but once they leave the book and the teacher, they will not be able to understand the method and essence of the problem solving, and realize independent problem solving. This requires students to see the essence of mathematics through phenomena, grasp the most basic mathematical concepts, and gain insight into the connections between mathematical objects, which is the main manifestation of profound thinking.
2. Cultivate the breadth of thinking.
The breadth of thinking refers to the ability to consider a problem from multiple perspectives. Specifically, it can explain a fact in many ways, express an object in a variety of ways, and come up with different solutions to a problem. In mathematics learning, we should pay attention to multi-faceted and multi-angle thinking methods and broaden the ideas of problem solving, which can promote the broadness of students' thinking.
3. Cultivate critical thinking.
Criticality of thinking refers to being good at rigorously estimating thinking material and examining thought processes with precision in thinking activities. In the process of learning mathematics, students should be good at extracting what they want from the existing answers and problem solving process, and express their own opinions. We must not blindly follow, but learn to use critical ideas to reflect and examine in various ways. Even if you have completely accepted something ideologically, you should seek improvement and come up with new ideas and insights.
Mathematics is also very related to some things in life, so if we see some things related to mathematics in life, we can let children think for themselves, and if they can still find the answers, then we believe that after a period of time, he will definitely fall in love with mathematics.
Now, there is also a popular comic book series on the market that claims to be elementary school math"Hello, Primary Mathematics".As a liberal arts student, out of the debt of common sense of science and history that I owed back then, I always wondered if there was a way to let myself understand quicklyMathematics that I have been studying since I was a child
This set of books has a total of 10 volumes, which is particularly rich in content, so let's take a look at it first:
10 books, including the understanding of numbers, calculation and quick calculation, time and measurement, statistics and probability, logic and reasoning, plane graphics, three-dimensional graphics, basic applications, travel applications, typical applications and other 10 major mathematical systems.
Its author, Ms. Dong Cuiling, is a senior teacher with 21 years of experience in mathematics, and knows the primary school mathematics curriculum system well.
The content of the book is closely related to the primary school mathematics syllabus, and the knowledge points also cover the basic knowledge of mathematics for grades 1-6, and the book covers as many as 96 knowledge points.
After reading a set of books, children can not only consolidate classroom knowledge, but also master all the key and difficult points of primary school mathematics.
Mathematics is the foundation of many subjects, and if you learn mathematics well, you can drive the learning of many subjects, and you will get twice the result with half the effort in the future. Therefore, it is especially recommended for parents to get it.
Let's talk about why you recommend it:
This set of "Hello, Primary School Mathematics" closely follows the standards of the Chinese primary school mathematics syllabus, and can be said to be specially designed for our Chinese children.
Its knowledge points cover the basic knowledge of mathematics in grades 1-6 of primary school. Ten books systematically describe 10 major mathematics systems, including 96 elementary school mathematics concepts.
Let me show you the content of the fascicle and the list of knowledge points:
It is not difficult to see that the key and difficult points of children's primary school mathematics are included. In terms of knowledge progression, it is also a "theme spiral construction" from easy to difficult, from simple to complex.
Children learn numeracy first, then calculations, measurements, statistics, and then logic, reasoning, and applications.
This design allows children to focus on and thoroughly understand a knowledge topic, and then progress to a higher level, breaking children's stereotypes of mathematics.
Comic form, fun stories, make math "live", and children learn easier.
This set of books adopts the telling method of comics + interesting stories throughout the whole book.
The boring numbers, cold formulas, and headache calculations in mathematics have all been transformed into humorous and fun stories, which are full of fun for children to read.
The whole set of books is a simple set of 16 pages, each volume is 32 pages, not thin or thick, and children have no pressure to learn. The whole book is printed with environmentally friendly ink, and the inner pages are made of matte copperplate eye protection paper, and the font is large, so that children can read it effortlessly. Equip your child with such a set of math books that are rigorous, formal and interesting, so that you can skip a tutorial class.
