About balls and numbers
balls and numbers
Study the language of mathematics
- Look, please, how many balls in my box and put it in his box is equal to the number of balls.
To child well distinguish different numbers in his mind must occur images of these numbers. Of course, the child and without us can create these images, but we can help him to find a more suitable and capacious. It is best suited for this colored dots.
However, the child has a great need to touch everything and in all things to see it all for yourself.
This program is designed to teach children at a very early age.
To begin teaching your child to read with 2 years of age. It is important to remember that a child at this age, first of all, remember that it will surprise or be interested. Figures for him seem strange icons. Therefore, to teach worth using images or materials.
In addition, playing with objects, the child develops minor hand motility, which positively affects the development of speech. With four years, you can teach a child to read in mind. This will help to develop logic, mind and memory.
Any training goes through three stages: addictive, understanding and meaningful learning. At that mathematics should not be something abstract, but a natural part of life, otherwise he soon forget everything we taught him.
First, playing and talking with your child, teaching him to compare objects and their properties, to distinguish big thing from a small, long, short, heavy from easy, all from rectangular and much more.
As a result, most children after three and a half years can be considered, and even to add, and subtract four or five. However, they may not know about it, and they need help to show their knowledge, but first child must learn to think intelligently and not mechanically.
So two-year-old kid can, poking a finger in the subject, consistently say:
- One, two, three, four.
However, to the question: "what things?" - the child to respond until may. Only three and a half to four years the child is ready to start a meaningful and not mechanical mathematics education. He is already able to learn how to add and subtract in mind the numbers within five, but to do the same steps with large numbers, usually up to four to four and a half years the baby is not able to do.
For children of preschool age is quite normal to assume that any mathematical action is only true at the moment and only with these items. Kids believe that, if push items, they will be more, and if I put them closer to each other, they will be less. If you move or change the position of subject, you will also change. Baby, folding 4 and 3, be sure to count all the items first:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, - and only after this will give the answer.
The child will become more Mature to think and talk differently:
- Here 4 of the subject, then 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7.
Development of spatial thinking
Spatial thinking manifests itself quite early. So two-three year old baby is able to show the way home or in kindergarten. To five years of a child may be put with the help of cubes, and later, to draw the plan of your room or Playground "from nature". To the school the child is already easy in mind, what is behind it, on the left, on the right, and what is ahead. May the memory to draw a plan of the room, Playground, or other place. Able to answer the following questions: which of the boys is in this row, third from right from you? who in that race stands second on the left?
In order to prepare your child for studying the geometry, it is not enough to learn to distinguish several geometric shapes. First of all we should try to develop his ideas about space. The child must seize such concepts as: up, down, over, under, between, approximately, next, front, back, forward, backward, left, right, inside, outside, etc.
These words can be easily embedded into any children's games.
