The head teacher bluntly said that most of the students who are "good at mathematics" have these 3 characteristics, do you have it?
I gossiped with my next-door neighbor, who poured bitter water on me and complained about his children's academic performance. He told me that my child was in the top 10 in his class, which surprised me a little. In this era of fierce competition, are the children's grades already so good? However, the troubles of the neighbors are much more than that. He complained that his child was seriously biased, and although he was at the top of the overall score, his math score was unsatisfactory, almost at the bottom of the class. On the contrary, some of his classmates who are not as good as his children have very good math scores.
Why is there such a big contrast in the same subject of mathematics? This reminds me of a saying: "The ruler is short, the inch is long." "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and children are no exception. Perhaps, we need to take a more holistic view of our children's achievements, pay attention to their strengths and weaknesses, encourage them to continue to work hard in their areas of expertise, and also help them overcome their shortcomings and achieve all-round development.
It reminds me of my student days, when there were always some people who were comfortable in the field of mathematics and some people who never found the door to mathematics. Mathematics, for some people, seems to be a "demon" in the heart, and the sight of it makes people feel fear. Even those who excel in school often sigh helplessly at math. It can be seen that mathematics, a seemingly ordinary subject, actually contains endless changes and challenges. As a liberal arts student who was once deeply affected by this, I have always had a bitter memory of fighting mathematics in the back of my heart.
Nevertheless, I am well aware of the importance and fascination of mathematics. It is not only a formula and calculation, but also an exercise of logical thinking. At a family gathering, I talked to my sister about it. As an experienced math teacher, she shared the top three traits she observed in math. These traits may be the key to opening the door to mathematics and leading us across the seemingly unattainable threshold.
1. Very interested in mathematics.
As the famous saying goes,"Interest is the best motivation for learning"。If children develop a strong interest in mathematics, they will be like sunflowers chasing the sun, actively exploring and solving difficult problems. This pursuit not only makes them happy, but it also stimulates their creativity and imagination.
Therefore, as parents, we need to pay attention to our children's interests, encourage them to explore and experiment, and make learning a pleasure rather than a burden.
2. Have divergent mathematical thinking.
Many students were at the top of their math years in primary school, but as they progressed, their math scores dropped dramatically. The root cause lies in the fact that the increase in the difficulty of knowledge does not lead to the synchronous divergence of students' thinking, resulting in rigidity when thinking about problems. This phenomenon is undoubtedly a key factor in the decline of students' mathematics scores.
3. Be able to use mind maps.
Cultivating good study habits is a solid foundation for children's growth. Among them, making a mind map is undoubtedly an extremely valuable means. It is like a magical map, guiding children to run their minds freely in the process of making, broadening the breadth of their horizons, and thus enhancing their logical thinking ability.
If you don't know how to better exercise your child's thinking ability, then this "Primary School Student Thinking Book" is very suitable for you.
This book contains four sections, namely language, mathematics and English and composition, the content of the whole book is closely around the development of children's thinking, the knowledge points in the usual texts, organized into a piece of thinking logic, stimulate students' imagination, expand the breadth of thinking, in a more vivid and interesting form, so that students can learn happily.
The book gives a variety of ways to think about each problem, through the form of comics, so that kindergarten and primary school children can understand at a glance, and can complete all homework independently.
Just like the above**, the use of vivid and interesting**, simple and clear let children learn phonics, through this entertaining way to attract children's attention, increase children's interest in learning, but also to achieve the purpose of happy learning, so that they can actively learn from now on.
When the child learns to build his own thinking model, then the learning process will be more relaxed, I bought a set for my son to use, I can obviously feel more motivated for learning, and the scores of each subject have also improved greatly.
Improving children's thinking skills can not only make them more concentrated, but also show a logical and rigorous side in daily life. In order to cultivate the spark of children's thinking, parents may wish to try to purchase this set of corresponding teaching materials for them. This set of teaching materials is like a seed of wisdom, sown in the hearts of children, helping them to bloom the fragrance of thinking.
