/kloc-thinking characteristics of infants before 0/8 years old
Since the baby was born, it has entered the embryonic stage of mathematics. Babies before the age of 2 mainly form their own mathematical perception experience by perceiving the number, quantity and shape of things, which is often a concrete representation. In this period, children's understanding of mathematics is basically an unconscious right brain directly reflecting behavior.

Years old baby's math picture book
For the baby before the age of 2, just let him know that there are numbers. Babies of this age haven't realized the true meaning of numbers, so when reading with your baby, you don't have to deliberately emphasize the meaning of numbers, treat numbers as part of the story, and guide your baby to pay more attention to the story itself.
Here, I recommend two digital picture books for children, which can be used as a reference for people with small babies.
1.《
Nine kittens shout.
The story of this book is particularly simple: nine kittens are sleeping, whirring. Bang, 1 A kitten opened its eyes and disappeared. Bang, two kittens opened their eyes and disappeared ... every time a different kitten woke up and disappeared. Finally, all nine kittens disappeared. Where did they go? It turns out that I ran to my mother's arms to drink milk!
Although it is listed as a math picture book, this book is not boring at all for Bao Xiao, who is one or two years old. From the beginning of the story, children's emotions are closely linked with kittens. By observing whether the kitten opens or closes its eyes, the baby can point out which kitten is awake and which kitten is sleeping. After constant discovery and search, nine kittens and their mothers are finally happy together. ...
In this book, babies can have a preliminary understanding of numbers and can also know colors. At the same time, this is a picture book combining Chinese and English. Ma Ma, who intends to teach her baby English, can also pay attention!
2. Ten fingers and ten toes
In fact, this book is not a real math picture book, but more like an emotional picture book full of love. Only three numbers are involved-one baby was born and the other baby was born in a distant place. Both babies have ten fingers and toes. More and more babies are born in different areas. Their skin, hair and clothes look completely different, but they all have ten fingers and toes, and three mothers kiss on their little noses.
It is precisely because the book does not involve the specific concept of numbers that babies before the age of 2 can receive story information well. While feeling deep love, if the baby can know that he has ten fingers and ten toes, it will be close to perfection!

Reading math picture books for 18-year-old babies: the period of right-brain mathematics transforming to left-brain mathematics
/kloc-the thinking characteristics of infants aged 0/5
After the baby entered the age of two, the concept of numbers began to sprout. What is the concept of numbers? For a child about two years old, the simplest and most direct concept is to know the difference between more and less, big and small. For children of this age, knowing that 6 is greater than 3 is far more meaningful than knowing that "6-3=3".
By the age of two and a half, children will enter the sensitive period of active counting, which is the period when right-brain mathematics is transformed into left-brain mathematics.
Recommended for children aged 2-4 years.
Babies aged 2-4 are in the sensitive period of counting. After the baby understands the concept of numbers, the exercise that needs to be strengthened is counting. We can count at any time and place in our daily life, such as cars on the road, counting stairs when climbing stairs, or counting how many fruits there are when dividing fruits ... Of course, we can also count when reading with our baby. Here we recommend 10 picture books for babies of this age!
Picture books to help children learn to count.
1. "There is an apple first"
This is a classic digital picture book, which tells an interesting counting story: first of all, there is an apple, two bugs come out of it, three birds want to eat those bugs, and four hunters beat those birds ... The book vividly expresses the concept of numbers between one and ten through interesting pictures, and there are "ten" different animals waiting for the baby to know!
2. The Perfect Dog Apollo: I can count.
Apollo is a very interesting dog. Through it, children can learn to count from 1 to 10. Apollo has 1 tail and two ears. If it has three legs, it can't run, so it has four legs ... In addition, Apollo will use his body to display the number 1 to 10, which is very good. Apollo will change color! If you want your baby to know numbers and colors, parents can look at them.
3. "Count how many kisses there are"
As can be seen from the title, this is a warm emotional picture book. Yes, the baby cries before going to bed, and the mother says, baby, do you want a kiss? So, ten kisses on the little toe, nine kisses on the little foot and eight kisses on the little knee … At the end of the story, the baby fell asleep in the sweetness of several kisses! This is also a picture book to practice children counting from one to ten.
4. Rainy days
The story happened on a rainy day. There are 10 species of animals sheltering from rain under trees. There are 1 mouse, 2 porcupines and 3 buffaloes ... When it rained, everyone's clothes were not wet, but the rain stopped and their clothes were soaked. Why? I believe that children will laugh after reading it. This book teaches children to count from 1 to 10 in the story, and can also know many small animals!
5.《
Listening to Folk Songs by Ball-Digital Songs
》
Books published in English and Chinese are exquisite, and this book is no exception. In addition to the beautiful picture books, there are also 1 CDs attached with books, all of which are traditional folk songs, such as "Five Fingers Song": 12345, going up the mountain to fight tigers ... There are also many memories of our childhood in this nursery rhyme, which can be relived with our baby.
Fun and interesting digital picture book
1. "Small Expo Count"
This is an interesting game page-turning book. Xiao Bo can count from 1 to 10. Dad took him to the farm to count animals. How many mice are there behind the sack? How many squirrels are there in the tree? How many ducks are there in the pond? ..... Open the pages and find the hidden secrets inside, which is the greatest happiness for children to read this book! At the same time, this book is bilingual, so you can also pay attention to the numbness of English education.
2. "What is this queue?"
This book is very interesting. There are 50 kinds of animals in the queue, whose expressions and behaviors are lifelike, such as zebra shivering between lion and tiger, wolf drooling and sheep afraid to follow, chimpanzee, orangutan, goat, armadillo smoked by skunk, etc ... What are they doing in the queue? You won't know until the story is over. Oh, great! In this book, children can learn the number 1-50 and learn a lot about animals and their living habits.
3. Go to sleep quickly
Have you ever had a fight before bed in your family? Do you want the child to say "go to bed" by himself? If you like, read this book: Kotaro who can't sleep starts counting, 1 pig, 2 pigs, 3 pigs ... 1 mother, 2 mothers ... 1 monster, 2 monsters ... the last 290 pigs,1065433.
Relatively speaking, the book itself is more like a bedtime story, but counting as a way to put you to sleep is quite interesting. Let Ta count if the baby can't sleep in the future!
Picture books involving simple calculations
1. The missing bear
This book also talks about numbers below 10, and there is a simple "subtraction" operation: ten bears wake up from their dreams, one bear walks out, and the remaining nine bears bathe in the stream ... Every time a bear disappears, how many are left? You can count with your baby and calculate!

10 Come on, little monkeys!
The protagonist of this story is a little monkey: 1 The little monkey wants to eat bananas when he sees them hanging high, but he just can't reach them. 1 The little monkey comes, but the two little monkeys still can't reach it. Three little monkeys came again, and now there are five little monkeys ... Little monkeys came one after another, * * * there were 10 little monkeys, but they still couldn't reach them ... Finally, with the help of their father, the little monkeys finally got bananas!
This book involves simple addition below 10, and adopts novel vertical page composition in design. The book is based on orange, and it gives a very warm interpretation of the number addition below 10, which is very suitable for young babies to read.
When children are four or five years old, the concrete and intuitive mathematical perceptual experience in the past will gradually form abstract mathematical concepts in their brains. Usually, this period will be called "the sensitive period of mathematical concepts", which means that children will suddenly have great interest in digital concepts, such as numbers, quantities, arrangement order, digital operations, physical characteristics and so on.
At the age of six or seven, children will have a "sensitive period of mathematical logic", which is different from the "sensitive period of mathematical concepts" The main reason is that children begin to be interested in logarithmic series, concepts and the relationship between concepts after completing the understanding of logarithm, name and quantity.
At this time, the real left-brain computing era is coming. If children are properly guided to learn mathematical calculation at this time, children can gain higher recognition of mathematics and learn mathematics more easily in the future.

/kloc-math picture books for children over 0/8 years old
Children in the sensitive period of mathematics will especially like their parents and Ta to study mathematics. In the Doudou Bookstore Zhengzhou Store, I once saw a child over 5 years old. After reading a picture book about mathematics with his mother, he always talks about math problems with his mother: "Mom, give me another problem!" " Mom, what is 100 million times 100 million? "If your family is also in the sensitive period of mathematics, the following books may be of great help to you!
Picture book on the concept of numbers
Where are the numbers?
We see and use numbers every day. In this book, the author Itsumi Taro lists many places where numbers are used in life, from home to vegetable markets and department stores, and then to expressway by car, seeing children running on the playground, playing baseball and playing games with players, or walking into the classroom and finding that children are doing various calculations with numbers. ...
This book focuses on guiding children to pay attention to numbers in their living environment, so as to gradually understand the meaning of numbers and let children appreciate the charm of numbers.
Julia counted the stars.
Julia, the girl, counts every day. She counted everything she saw: there were several windows in the house, several slates in the yard, several steps on the stairs, some oil flowers in the noodle soup and some petals in the beautiful daisy ... Her greatest wish was to count the stars in the sky, but she never counted all the stars. What a depressing thing!
Besides being a digital picture book, this book is also a story about dreams. Julia, the girl, made a lot of efforts for her dream. Although she didn't succeed, she was always happy in her pursuit. The story of counting stars is actually the story of a child growing up.

A100th floor house
》/《
Underground 100 floor
When it comes to math picture books, if the first thing you think of is boredom, it's all wet. At least these two books, A House with a Floor of 100 and An Underground House with a Floor of 100, have nothing to do with boredom. They are absolutely amazing picture books.
Both books tell the story of children exploring a house with a floor of 100. There are 10 identical animals on each floor. Every 10 floor is full of different kinds of animals, and different stories will happen on each floor. Here, children can count from 1 to 100 layer by layer.
A picture book involving mathematical calculation
365 penguins
It is quite difficult to create a math picture book. First of all, it should tell stories. Second, it should be interesting math. In this sense, 365 Penguins is a real math picture book.
First of all, it has a complete picture book story: on June 65438+1 October 1 day, "I" received a package with 1 penguin, and every day after that, I will receive1penguin. Throughout 1 year, 365 penguins were mailed to my home one after another. These penguins initially brought surprises to my family.
Secondly, in this book, children can do some mathematical calculations with stories. For example, 1 month has 3 1 day, and February has 28 days, receiving 1 penguin every day. How many penguins are there in two months? (3 1+28=? )
On the 60 th day, in order to put away the penguins, the family also thought of many ways. Every 15 penguins are put into a group, and then 4 times 15 to calculate how many penguins there are!
Penguins have been increasing, and there are more and more things to feed. 1 Penguins eat 2.5 kilograms of fish every day, which is about 3 yuan money. If 100 penguins buy fish every day, how much will it cost?
……
There are several examples of such mathematical games, so I won't explain them here. In short, this book perfectly combines mathematics with picture book stories, which is very suitable for children in the "sensitive period of mathematics"!
Who stole the steamed stuffed bun
This book tells a story full of childlike interest and also involves simple subtraction. It is said that there is a steamed stuffed bun shop in a small town. There is a mother and a little girl in the steamed stuffed bun shop. One night, before the shop closed, there were eight fried dumplings left, and the owner of the satin shop bought five. Niu Niu yawned and there were only two left on the plate. What's going on here?
The next night, there were nine steamed buns left, and the proprietress of the gold shop bought five, and there were four left. Niu Niu helped her mother sweep the floor, and there were only three steamed buns left in a blink of an eye. Where is that? So Niu Niu decided to catch the thief who stole buns. ...
Elephant arithmetic
In this book, elephants are doing arithmetic with their own dung balls. In the first 50 years of its life, every time it grows to 1 year, it pulls 1 dung ball every day, that is, in the first year, it pulls 1 ball every day and 1 year 365 balls; In the second year, two 365s are pulled every day in 1 year, which is 730 ... In the fiftieth year, 50 365s are pulled every day in 1 year, and an elephant pulls a dung ball in 50 years. In the last 50 years of its life, every time it reaches 1 year, it will drop 1 dung ball every day, so when it reaches1year, everything will be zero. ...
This book is suitable for children over 6 years old. Besides mathematical calculation, there is also a theme about life. Every life is changing from weak to strong and from strong to old. On the last day of the elephant's life, there is a passage in the book that is particularly touching and I want to share it with you:
"The old elephant is very happy. He understood, lived for a hundred years, and returned to zero. He has nothing to think about, such as grass and leaves, addition and subtraction. He turned gently and walked slowly to the last place where the old elephants went ... there, he would also become zero and disappear quietly. "
The Math Picture Book of Yasuo Yasuo
Mr. Chen Shengshen, a famous mathematician, once said, "Each of us spent a lot of time in mathematics all our lives, but we actually only learned to calculate, not mathematics." Indeed, for many people, mathematics means formulas and accurate calculations, but the logic behind numbers is ignored.
Yasuya Anyo's math picture book is very different from the traditional math textbook. It never teaches children how to calculate, nor does it list specific formulas. It just allows children to think mathematically in the game and show the beauty of mathematics to the fullest.
Yasuya Anyo is a world-renowned master of picture books, and has won the highest honor of children's books in the world "Andersen Award". Yasuya Anyo has shown a high talent for mathematics since he was a child, and at the same time, he loves painting. His dual talents make him have both scientific thinking and artist's feelings and heart.
Yasuya Anyo's math picture book combines art and science into a humorous visual game, and constructs an "Anyo style" that is both intellectual and poetic, full of childlike interest, and shows keen imagination and meticulous logical reasoning ability. It has won numerous international awards and is now solemnly recommended to parents and friends.
Walk into the wonderful world of mathematics
This series is recommended for children over 4 years old, with 3 books covering 13 basic mathematical ideas. Yasuo Anye also wrote in his creative notes: "The word' mathematics' is translated from mathematics, and its etymology has no mathematical meaning, and it is not limited to numbers and numbers, but is closer to the meaning of the way of recognizing and thinking about things." This sentence shows Xiao Ye Kangfu's view on mathematics, and also determines that his picture books will not talk about specific mathematical knowledge such as numbers and arithmetic, but focus on the way of thinking.
In this book, Xiao Ye also makes mathematics simple and interesting through interesting games, crafts and stories, and guides children to do it themselves, think and discover, and learn to think in a mathematical way in games. Many mathematical ideas are involved in the book. For example, Several Circles is about the formation of numbers, the idea behind Not a Group is elementary set theory, Walking the Labyrinth embodies topological thought, and The Incredible Magic Machine embodies the mapping relationship of functions. ...
The range of mathematics knowledge that we can tell our children is very narrow, but Xiao Ye Kang has also greatly broadened this field. Many of the mathematical principles he drew can be told in a relaxed and interesting way, which is easy for even children to understand.
Yasuya Anyo's "Beautiful Mathematics" Series Picture Books
This set of books includes five books, which are recommended for children over six years old. Seriously, the contents of these books are quite difficult for a liberal arts student like me. Even after studying mathematics for so many years, it took me several days to understand the logic behind the story, and then I sadly found that the mathematical formula I learned in high school or university really didn't understand. Yasuya Anyo, he can make people understand the logic behind mathematics through stories.
Ten people moving happily is the simplest book in this series, which mainly involves the synthesis and decomposition of numbers below 10. By moving children with 10, children learn the combination of 10: 1 and 9,2 and 8,3 and 7. ...
"Wonderful Seeds" is mainly to let children feel the surprise of "number multiplication". Through a story of lazy sowing, let children realize the difference between 0 and 1, thus leading to the concept of power of numbers and the knowledge of number decomposition.
The "hat trick" made me a little dizzy, but the final situation has not been fully understood until now. This book mainly deals with hypothesis and exclusion, and exercises children's reasoning and observation ability by guessing the color of hats like solving puzzles.
The story in the pot involves the concept of mathematical order multiplication,1× 2× 3× 4× 5× 6× 7× 8× 9×10 ... Well, this factorial is basically a concept that I didn't come into contact with until after high school, but it's amazing that Xiao Ye Kangfu can let children understand the meaning of these numbers with a story.
Three Little Pigs tells the story that the wolf wants to eat the sheep. The wolf in this book is a dull philosopher. The three little pigs he wants to eat live in five rooms. The wolf is thinking: Which house will the pigs live in? This kind of thinking leads to the concepts of arrangement, combination and exclusion.
In addition to mathematical logic, this set of books is also very nice. Yasuo Anyo uses a light-colored painting method, which allows us to appreciate the elegance of blue and white porcelain, the vastness of grassland and the simplicity of home ... The picture is matched with wonderful words, which makes the whole book look quiet and warm, full of interest, and both emotional and rational.
