The development of children's thinking has its unique characteristics. In order to make children understand and master mathematics better, we need to promote their thinking development and the establishment of mathematical concepts through carefully designed environments, games and practical operations.

Interaction of environment

A well-designed environment can effectively promote children's thinking development and the establishment of mathematical concepts. For example, we can set up a classification environment for children and classify them according to the size, color and shape of plastic sheets; Or sort the cards according to the vehicle name.

Gaming experience

Games play a vital role in children's life. In the game, children can not only gain mathematical knowledge, but also freely express their feelings and experiences. For example, in the doll's house game, "mother" distributes tableware to "children", which is actually to help children understand the concept of one-to-one correspondence.

Actual operation

Mathematics education is not only the teaching of theoretical knowledge, but also the practical operation. Only when children actively participate in various activities, use various materials and often discuss their own findings can they truly understand and master mathematical concepts. For example, when children find that "1" can be used to represent any single object or set through repeated operations and can clearly express this concept, they can really grasp the meaning of "1".
