Cultivate children's interest and confidence in mathematics.
Children's early mathematics learning is not only to learn some mathematical skills such as mathematics and operation, but more importantly, to stimulate children's interest in mathematics, which will make children form a lasting pursuit of mathematics, contribute to the development of children's mathematical ability, and make children form the habit of actively learning mathematics, from which they can get the pleasure of learning mathematics.
Kindergarten teachers should study and master the factors that can stimulate children's interest in mathematics learning, including: challenging knowledge and skills that are suitable for children's ability. The requirements of mathematics activities should be based on children's original knowledge, which children can master through certain efforts; Forms and methods of activities that can arouse children's positive thinking activities. Let children experience the fun of choosing to learn instead of being forced to learn; Novelty of various forms of game activities and mathematics learning activities. Help children improve their original learning style and constantly stimulate their interest in learning.
Every child learns mathematics in a different way and at a different speed, which has very obvious personalized characteristics. Therefore, teachers should allow children to explore and learn in their own way and at their own speed. Only in this way can children get a happy and successful experience in math activities. Teachers should provide time and space for children's operation activities, guide children to try, find and find different answers, let children freely choose activity materials according to their own interests and wishes in the learning environment, decide the content and form of activities themselves, use their brains to perceive and discover mathematical phenomena and experience mathematical laws. Therefore, it is an effective condition to stimulate children's learning interest and motivation to provide children with materials for various mathematical operations. Here, teachers should be the supporters, guides, helpers and encouragers of children's mathematical activities. This educational concept has important supporting value for children to learn mathematics effectively.
Mathematics activities should be life-oriented and game-oriented.
Life is inseparable from mathematics, which comes from life, and mathematics is always closely related to life.
Mathematics is everywhere in life. The number of high-rise buildings on the street, the positive and negative number of stairs, the symmetrical passages at the entrance and exit of the park, the shapes of car wheels and bicycle wheels are similar but different, the shape, quantity and size of clothes pockets and buttons beside street trees and sidewalks, the speed of the competition, the order of reaching the finish line, the odd and even numbers of theater seats, the combination of plane graphics and three-dimensional graphics used by Bird's Nest, Water Cube and National Grand Theatre, etc. , compared, analyzed, summarized and integrated by children.
For example, if you take your children to the mall, you can at least carry out the following mathematics knowledge education. For example, you can ask your child, "How many floors does this mall have? Let's count "-this is the understanding of logarithm and the use of the quantifier" floor ". You can say to your child, "Let's look at the first floor first, and then at the second floor to see what is on sale on each floor"-the concept of ordinal number naturally applies here. When visiting a certain floor, children can know that there are several parts on this floor, including clothing department, food department, jewelry department and so on. When visiting the clothing department, you can guide the children to observe that the clothing in the clothing department is arranged according to types, here is children's wear, there is women's wear, and the opposite is men's wear-this is the concept of classification. In this way, the concepts of whole and part, classification and so on in mathematics naturally entered children's minds, making them vividly feel the concept of mathematics.
Cultivate the ability to think and solve problems independently.
The important value of children's mathematics enlightenment education lies in developing children's thinking ability, thus improving children's ability to solve life problems. There are many ways to develop children's thinking ability. It is unscientific to think that the more knowledge you learn, the deeper and the more difficult it is, and the better your thinking will develop. Although knowledge and ability are closely related, knowledge is not ability. While learning knowledge, we should pay attention to cultivating children's ability to solve problems and apply knowledge, which is the true embodiment of children's thinking ability.
Another aspect that can't be ignored in promoting children's thinking ability is to cultivate children's ability to think and solve problems independently. Independent thinking ability is a manifestation of logical thinking. To do this, children should first really understand a concept in the process of education, rather than remembering a concept. Only when they understand, can they make correct judgments and solve problems independently.
