First, teachers should correctly understand the characteristics of mathematics and children's cognitive ability.
First of all, mathematics is a very abstract subject. Preschool teachers must learn to turn abstract numbers into intuitive things that are seen as true in real life, so as to guide children to know and learn. Secondly, teachers should not rush for success. Mathematics learning is a thinking process from elementary number cognition to advanced logical mathematics operation. It is a mental work based on children's independent thinking and independent thinking ability. Children's attention and thinking ability are very limited, especially mathematics teaching, which should be arranged properly, generally not more than fifteen minutes. In the arrangement of teaching content, it should also be appropriate, persuasive and do what one can; Otherwise, it will make children feel bored and tired, and they will feel tired of learning, and then when it comes to mathematics, they will feel disgusted and unable to continue learning.
Second, teachers should correctly master and apply various teaching methods of children's mathematics.
There are many teaching methods for children's mathematics, among which intuitive demonstration, games, comparison, explanation, questioning and thinking exploration are the most commonly used.
Teachers should choose appropriate teaching methods according to different learning contents. Numbers can be understood through intuitive demonstration and comparison. When it comes to the operation of numbers, we can use game method, interpretation method, questioning method method and thinking exploration method. In short, teachers should choose flexible and diverse teaching methods according to the teaching content in order to make students interested in mathematics.
Third, teachers should turn abstract mathematics activities into colorful entertainment and game activities.
In this regard, teachers should expand students' teaching methods of understanding numbers and simple operations, and carefully design basic understanding activities of numbers and game activities of mathematics application, so that children can learn mathematics step by step in pleasant activities.
For example: (1) Counting fruits: In the teaching activities for children who just went to kindergarten, teachers can buy a few pounds of cherries and bring them into the classroom. First, they should learn to count 1 to 5 that day; Then eat as many cherries as possible (less than 5). Learn to count 6 to 10 or even more in the same way, so that students feel that they can learn, play, eat, and be interested, and the effect is achieved. ⑵ Winning the prize by rolling dice: the teacher buys some small toys or school supplies, throws them with two dice, adds up the above two numbers, and gives prizes if the answers are correct. You can also set different rewards according to the sum of the numbers, and you can roll the dice again with competition and encouragement until the child is satisfied. This not only cultivates children's interest in mathematics, but also exercises their strong perseverance in not giving up until they reach their goals.
In short, as long as teachers use their brains, they can create strange games that students are interested in, thus making students have a strong interest in mathematics.
Fourth, teachers should exchange information with parents to cultivate children's interest in mathematics.
Although mathematics is abstract, it comes from life practice. Kindergarten, as a place for students' learning activities, has a limited scope of activities after all; And children have a much wider range of activities in family life. Therefore, teachers should be good at communicating with parents, unify their understanding of the number of students and their learning progress, unify the short-term goals of training, and guide parents to take their children to participate in outdoor cognitive activities when necessary. For example, visit the zoo to count animals, visit the aquarium to count fish and turtles. When the conditions are ripe, we should take our children shopping, count shopping and simply calculate the amount of cash paid. ....
In fact, mathematics learning begins with children's simple cognitive behavior. In kindergarten, teachers only standardize and guide them to develop in depth, and at the same time pay attention to cultivating mathematics interest, laying a solid foundation for children to learn mathematics for life. Therefore, kindergarten teachers should work hard on how to cultivate students' interest in mathematics.
