How to gamify the early childhood math education process

Early childhood mathematics education should first inspire children's interest in mathematics, establish mathematical cognition for children, and make mathematics life-like, game-like, child-like, and most importantly, interesting.

Consciously carry out mathematics education.

Through some small things in daily life, children are unconsciously exposed to the concept of the number "1". For example, when feeding your child, you can say "baby is good, eat first, then take a bite", which will have a good inspirational effect on children's future digital education.

Play and interact with your child.

Playroom children like the most acceptable way of learning, and it is also the most conducive way to parent-child relationship. For example, a crawling race with a child, or a game of picking up things. Through games, not only can children's hands-on and motor ability be exercised, but also children's attention, observation, endurance and sense of competition can be cultivated, which is very beneficial to children's future growth and development.

Teach your child to make comparisons.

In addition to counting, mathematical enlightenment also involves graphic geometry, time and space, logical reasoning, comparative classification, etc. Parents use things in life to teach their children the knowledge of size comparison and shape matching. For example, when eating, let the child compare whose bowl is bigger and contain more things, and even guide the child to operate how to fill it.

Teach your child what to know before counting.

When many parents mention math enlightenment, they think of teaching their children to count, in fact, counting can be carried out at any time, not simply let children memorize numbers, but let children understand numbers. Before teaching children to count, parents should guide their children to observe things in life, understand the differences in size, speed, weight, height, etc., and then guide children to recognize the number 1234 and understand numbers.

To inspire children's interest in mathematics, not only counting and addition and subtraction, but also to connect more with reality, let children discover the relationship between numbers and shapes in life, and guide children to understand and use the actual meaning of abstract numbers, and connect mathematics with his daily life, which is the most appropriate way for parents to give their children mathematical enlightenment. At present, He Qiu focuses on cultivating the mathematical thinking of children aged 3-7, and it is recommended to learn it.

In order to easily teach mathematics to young children, it is important to give children a reliable and fun way to learn.

Therefore, math gamification for young children is the most appropriate way.

1. Use games for math activities.

Because the game can comprehensively exercise children's sense of rules, execution ability and strategic awareness.

There are rules for the game, and children must understand the rules, obey the rules, and at the same time achieve the goal; When the rules change, they have to change their strategies accordingly.

This process is not enough to memorize knowledge points, it actually exercises children's comprehensive ability to apply knowledge flexibly.

2. Mathematics activities through picture books.

There is no child who doesn't like stories, this enlightenment method makes the originally boring mathematical content vivid and interesting, and while listening to the story, you can unconsciously absorb the knowledge.

The whole picture book is not boring at all! Listening to the mathematical knowledge like a book from the sky, you can find a basis in real life in picture books.

In the way of scenario substitution, children are first integrated into the story, and then the mathematical problems are discovered from the story, and then dissected and analyzed.

The most important thing in mathematics learning is to understand the thinking method behind knowledge, after all, knowledge is fixed, and the thinking method behind it is the most valuable.

3. Watch cartoons for math activities.

Children's animation series, the little characters in the film love mathematics, use mathematics to solve obstacles in daily life, integrate the knowledge of patterns, numbers and shapes into animation, the content is full of interaction, and help children solve daily life problems with mathematical methods.

Children can master the understanding of numbers, mathematical skills, and develop children's thinking skills.

Children use mathematical methods to solve problems in daily life, which can exercise children to develop mathematical thinking, step by step, and educate in a fun way.
