1. Games and Children's Mathematics?
Games are the basic activities of children and the main activities of kindergartens. The game itself is lively, interesting and situational. There are toys, materials, actions and activities during the game, which is easy to attract children's interest and enthusiasm in participating in activities.
During the game, children's knowledge and experience are constantly expanded and their cognitive ability is constantly improved through their active hands-on operation and exploration. Therefore, games are the most direct way to stimulate children's interest in math activities. Teachers should actively promote children's cognition and experience of mathematics through math games and activities corner games.
Second, the environment and children's mathematics?
Interaction with the environment is an important way for children to learn. The environment layout and material transfer of kindergarten classes can be permeated with certain mathematical factors, which can stimulate children's unintentional attention, let children feel and experience mathematical knowledge and develop their mathematical ability in a subtle way.
For example, the walls of the class can be arranged into patterns composed of various geometric figures, cartoon images marked with numbers, and pictures showing changes throughout the year. The materials placed in the activity area can also penetrate certain mathematical contents, such as digital cards and beads placed in the math corner, building blocks of various shapes placed in the building block area, glasses of different volumes placed in the sand water area, dolls' coins and so on.
These environments and materials contain certain contents of mathematics education, which can stimulate children's interest in various mathematical phenomena and arouse their thinking. Therefore, teachers should actively create an environment that can cultivate and stimulate children's mathematical thinking, provide materials that can be operated freely and fully, and support children's mathematical learning.
The Importance of Children's Mathematics Education
Cultivate mathematical thinking
Kindergarten mathematics education can cultivate children's mathematical thinking. Mathematical thinking refers to the way of thinking to solve problems through observation, induction and reasoning. Through mathematics education, children can learn to observe and describe things, form the ability of abstract thinking, and thus cultivate their logical thinking and reasoning ability.
Cultivate the ability to solve problems
Mathematics education can also help children develop problem-solving ability. Mathematical problems have certain laws and logics. By solving math problems, children can develop the ability to analyze problems, find solutions and think about steps. These abilities will be of great help to children's future study and life.
