The long vacation period is a good opportunity for mathematics enlightenment, and "stay-at-home" teaching is divided into three steps.
In order to prevent and control the new coronavirus, schools start late and parents start late. So what should you do with your baby at home during a long vacation?
Some parents bluntly said: Since having a baby, what I am most afraid of is the holiday.
It looks like a funny joke, but it reflects our current situation. At home, one or two days is acceptable, ten days and eight days, or even half a month or even a month, but it will feel a little boring.
I've been coughing lately and I'm taking pharyngitis tablets and cough capsules. Take 5 capsules each time and 3 capsules each time. Each time, he picked up the pills and gave them to me.
He counted correctly, 15 and 12 grains, respectively, which could be eaten in three and four parts. He got it wrong not in the quantity, but in the unit.
I suddenly realized that after staying at home for a month, my child was very sensitive to numbers, and his interest was very high, which was quite a surprise.
So, how do you spend your long vacations at home? What we do is do pre-school math initiation.
01 Mathematics enlightenment, the sooner the better.
Business Insider published an article in Time magazine, summarizing the common characteristics of parents of successful children through a large number of survey data provided by Harvard, Stanford and other prestigious universities. One of the most striking things is that they start to enlighten children in math very early.
Scientists tell us that babies are more math perceptive than we think.
After 3 months, we have the basic ability to discriminate quantities. For example, when he shows him a ** with three things in a row, when he sees a ** with two things in the middle, he will have obvious emotional changes, such as sucking faster and reaching out.
5 months, can match the number of sound pictures (within 3). For example, listening to his voice while looking at the picture. When he hears two drums, he prefers to look at the picture with two things.
At 7 months, he can perceive addition and subtraction within 3. For example, if an adult shows him two balls, hides them behind his back, and takes out two more balls, he is very happy; But if he only takes out one ball next time, he will look for the whereabouts of the other ball.
These are the perceptual abilities of innate ignorance. Before the age of 3, we can protect their perception; After the age of 3, we can properly guide and stimulate their enthusiasm.
Initiation in mathematics is more than just counting or adding or subtracting.
What level of math does a child need to reach in primary school?
Zhuo Li, the former principal of Shijia Hutong, replied: He can count, and he can try to guide his children to count above 20. When you see an object, you can tell if it's round or square.
That's all. But in fact, even if a child who has just entered elementary school can count to 100, he will inevitably fall when he does not understand the relationship between number and quantity. 3+2=5 seems simple to us, but in the eyes of children, it is difficult to go to heaven.
Even Zhan Qingyun, the annual BB king of the Seven Tyrants, said: At the beginning of school, the teacher said that 2 to 1, 3 to 2, and 10 were the largest. I do not quite understand. I always feel that writing 1 occupies a position, and a larger 2 will be out of line. Writing 10 takes up a whole page.
When he was a child, Ajan was naughty and mischievous, and he was a stupid student in the eyes of the teacher. In middle school, he went on the offensive and eventually earned a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard. Of course, that's an afterthought. However, she was in the first grade of primary school and had no idea what the meaning of numbers meant and how they were compared. This directly led to her bottoming up and low self-esteem throughout her primary school years.
The so-called mathematical enlightenment is simply to understand the relationship between numbers and quantities. The specific performance is as follows:
1) Figure out the number of things and visually measure a small amount.
Generally, children who have gone to kindergarten can basically count things to 20.
What's more, the perception of small quantities can lay the foundation for children to estimate large quantities later. Children are born with feelings1. If you raise it to 2, it's a bit harder. If you increase it to 3, it's not that hard. If the child can judge easily, it is even more powerful.
2) understand and compare the size of the numbers;
The size of the numbers is not as large as the numbers understood by Ajan. A number is a quantity, and the size it represents can be replaced by height, length, morning and evening, weight, or a number.
To give you an example of being tall and short: a child lives on the 7th floor and our house is on the 6th floor. After the elevator to the 6th floor, we were able to go home, but we needed to go one more level before the kids could go home. The seventh floor is higher, and the corresponding number of seven is larger.
3) Understand the meaning of digital operations.
Number crunching refers to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Yes, but it doesn't mean it's done correctly. Not a numerical calculation on paper. Just let him know that the quantity can be changed into a larger or smaller quantity by increasing or decreasing.
Take the elevator above as an example: if you are on the 6th floor, if we don't get off the elevator and go up one floor, we will arrive at the child's house, and the child's house is on the 7th floor. You see, when the first floor is added to the sixth floor, it becomes the seventh floor.
Toys that are truly suitable for children are more conducive to stimulating and promoting the development of children's motor coordination, cognition and brain thinking.
I recommend a new toy that I recently discovered, and the children at home especially like to play, that is, this child's mathematical enlightenment artifact——Puppy arithmetic scales.
The most important thing for a good toy is to be fun, so that it can arouse the interest of children and continue to play.
We don't expect toys to develop geniuses, children are willing to play, make the learning process fun, and get a sense of accomplishment from it, which is the most valuable.
The puppy digital balance is a toy that allows children to fully feel, try and make mistakes, and then find the right answer by themselves.
Learning through play is very fun.
The shape of the puppy itself is very popular with children, and the design is particularly ingenious, and the weight between the number and the puppy is very accurate and error-free, which is not possible with other similar balance toys.
If there is 1 more, the balance will be immediately visualized, tell the child that it is not equal, and she can easily understand the concept of 3.
Not only do numbers and puppies create a balance, but so do numbers and numbers.
There are also matching cards for children to practice together, which can deepen the memory of the baby's logarithmic sense.
There are many ways to play, and you can learn math while playing!
01. Let children know numbers.
Bao Ma can put a number on one side of the scale, and let the child choose the number or put the puppy on it
By balancing the scales, children will gradually understand the connections between numbers and quantities.
02. Let children learn to compare the size of numbers.
For a child who doesn't know much about math, suddenly telling her that the numbers 8<10 are difficult to understand.
However, by comparing the size of the scale, the child will naturally learn the size of the number after playing.
03. Let children easily learn addition and subtraction.
Put an 8 on the left side of the scale and a 3 on the right side and ask the child to think about what 8 minus 3 is. Or how much 3 plus equals 8.
In the process of testing, it can not only cultivate children's mathematical ability, but also cultivate logic in the process of thinking.
04. Make digital cards as a parent-child game.
In addition to using the balance to do addition and subtraction, you can also use the cards that come with you to play a number game.
Draw a random card and use the other cards, numbers, and puppies to complete the content after the equal sign.
Phased play Cultivate children's interest in learning in an all-round way.
The difficulty of the cards ranges from green to purple to blue, allowing children to play in stages without skipping steps.
Because it is advanced from shallow to deep, it is also more in line with the child's cognitive development level.
The most practical thing about this set of cards is that it saves mothers from racking their brains to think about the topic.
There are many different combinations of addition and subtraction problem calculations, which can be played in turns and can be played for a long time.
05. Two-player or multi-player game.
One person is responsible for the left side of the scale, one person is responsible for the right side of the scale, one person is responsible for solving the problem, and the other is responsible for leveling the scale.
If there are more than two children in the family, this game must be fun.
Compared with the textbook-style graphic teaching method, this way of touching and trying is more suitable for the thinking mode of young children, and the time that can be played is also very long.
Each number has also been carefully handled, and the size and weight are suitable for the child's palm.
The size of the puppy is small, so if the child is still relatively young, I am afraid that the naughty baby will put it in the mouth and eat it by mistake, so the younger children also need to be accompanied by adults during the play.
In addition to the puppy arithmetic scale, there is also a small monkey scale, which is also very cute!
This set of arithmetic balances was originally only listed abroad, a set of **100, but now we also have our own domestic production, a set of **699 yuan, decent, 2 sets**119$9
This arithmetic balance allows children to play from the age of 2 years old and easily learn math and arithmetic while playing! If you like it, don't miss it, and remember to start math as soon as possible
