1. Wear clothes and shoes

Clothes: spread the clothes in front of the baby, tell the baby to find a "big hole" (hem) and a "small hole" (neckline) in the clothes, then put your head in through the "big hole" and out through the "small hole", and then slowly teach the baby how to distinguish the front and back of the clothes. Shoes: let infants try to distinguish between left and right shoes, and judge the left and right of shoes from the shape of shoes, the pattern on the vamp, or the buttons on both sides. In this process, infants perceive and experience different orientations with their own bodies, accumulate a sense of space, and learn to distinguish size, inside and outside, front and back, and side, which not only helps infants learn mathematics, but also cultivates their independent and persistent personality and problem-solving ability.

Tidy things up

Guide infants and young children to put toys that they think are "the same" together, and discuss with infants and young children what "the same" toys are when sorting them out, so as to help infants and young children find the same attributes and characteristics of toys. Try to turn the process of sorting out items into a continuation of the game, so that infants can always keep their interest and habits in sorting out toy items.

3. Supermarket shopping

Take the baby to the supermarket for shopping, and the baby can intuitively observe and understand the concept of numbers. For example, guide infants around 6 years old to pay attention to the simple prices of some common foods and supplies (preferably an integer within 10). In this process, guide infants to consider comprehensive factors from multiple angles, such as: who to buy, what needs and preferences she has; How to match the varieties of goods bought; Then, the baby can try to make up the numbers with his fingers, and probably know how much it costs to buy these things, and so on.

4. Other ways

Mom and dad can guide infants to pay attention to various numbers on the road, improve their sensitivity to numbers, and help infants understand the different meanings of numbers; Guide infants to pay attention to the cost of public transportation, the relationship between subway transfer and time spent, and so on; When starting navigation, it can also guide the baby to connect the position and route on the navigation map with the three-dimensional world in front of him, thus helping the baby to develop a sense of space.

Stimulate children's interest in mathematics with games

1. Finger Game Series

Hand is the most direct, commonly used and effective tool for children to understand quantity and its changing relationship. Various finger ballads: While reading children's songs, you can use the corresponding hand index to interpret various things in children's songs to help infants understand numbers.

Building blocks

Building blocks should cultivate a sense of space, and it is best to have a certain proportional relationship between blocks. For example, a cuboid block is exactly the size of two cubes, and a cube block is exactly the size of two triangles. Such building blocks are more convenient for babies to perceive various shapes and the relationship between different shapes.

Step 3 build tall buildings

Infants who have just started playing with building blocks like to build blocks high, and then build them high after falling, time and time again. In this process, parents encourage babies to count "How many floors have they built?" "Is it taller or shorter than just now?" "Why did it fall?" "Is it better to use big building blocks or small building blocks at the bottom of the house? Why? " "What kind of building blocks can be used to build heights?" Help children pay attention to the relationship between quantity, height, building block shape and spatial structure, etc.

You said I would accept it.

Parents and babies can take turns to be "commanders", responsible for giving instructions to each other, telling each other what kind of building blocks to build and where to build them, and even describing and giving instructions according to specific drawings. This kind of games can help babies express the attributes and spatial positions of building blocks in language.

3. Poker series

Playing cards can help babies understand concepts such as classification, sorting and comparison. Game size: The easiest way to play is to take half of the playing cards and play one card at a time. Whoever has the biggest card has two cards, and the game is over after playing cards. The winner is the one with the most cards. In the process of repeated play, infants gradually learn to think about the game strategy of the relationship between the order of playing cards and winning or losing. Solitaire game: adults and babies agree on the rules first, and then start solitaire. For example, you can connect the dragon according to the pattern, you can also connect the dragon according to the number rule, and you can also connect the dragon in two dimensions at the same time, that is, diamonds 5 spades 6 hearts 7 clubs 8. ...

It is impossible to cultivate mathematical thinking overnight. Only by maintaining the mentality of learning and growing up with infants and children and persisting in working hard at ordinary times, parents will naturally have the confidence to wait for flowers to bloom. Not only math, but also other aspects of learning.
