Exercise your child's mathematical thinking from an early age, and use these seven tricks at home!

In addition to IQ and EQ, "financial intelligence" has gradually become an increasingly important ability for children.

Therefore, it is very important for children to cultivate their mathematical thinking when they are young - not only to improve their performance, but also to enable them to acquire lifelong required skills.

Children's mathematical ability does not mean that they can be trained and improved by sitting at the desk and doing a few pages of arithmetic problems. To make children interested in mathematics, we can better improve their mathematical thinking ability!

To cultivate mathematical thinking from daily family life, parents may get twice the result with half the effort:

1. Mathematics of cooking

When adults are preparing for cooking, they should pour water, weigh flour, place them separately, estimate time and read the menu. Why not let children participate in such activities?

Before he can pour the cake noodles or read the recipe, he can take a wooden spoon and stir it in a plastic bowl. Let your child see how you follow the recipe step by step and how you control the temperature on the oven.

Remember to warn children that food is too hot to touch and eat.

2. My Related Numbers

The children are proud to know their address and telephone number. Early on, children can determine their age. They want to know their height - feet, inches, centimeters and other units of measurement.

If you put a child on the scale, you will have a chance to make the child heavier and lighter. Children can learn what size clothes they wear, and can judge which fits and which does not fit, which is an early training in "spatial relations".

3. Family life

House maintenance gives children an excellent opportunity to practice their math skills.

Let the child watch you measure the door frame or see you hang a picture in the middle of the wall. When you want to finish something, children can help you do something, such as holding nails, screws and tools.

In addition, in daily life, setting the alarm clock or preparing the table are all opportunities for children to count and deal with numbers.

4. Games

There are many small games related to mathematics, such as telephone games played by young children, tower blocks played by older children, etc. These games are permeated with wonderful mathematical content.

If you can help your children play and exercise with their neighbors' children, they will have more opportunities to think about math problems.

5. Manage money

Children can touch, count, save, classify and spend money under supervision

Lead them to the mall and tell them how much they have to pay to buy something and how much discount they can save. This method is good, but it is better to teach children about the value of money.

As children grow up, give them pocket money when they do housework, so that they can learn to work to earn money.

6. Travel

Even a short trip can provide children with math related experience.

any minutes it will take for a car to move from one house to another, ask the child to read out the license plate number aloud or add up these license plate numbers quickly.

 

7. "Go home"

 

When children pretend to do something, they often create the same situation as real life. They can check the bus schedule or how much raw materials they need for a long drive.

 

In addition, pretend games mostly include numbers and counting. Don't forget that mathematical concepts also involve small problems and building blocks. Children will learn counting, geometry and mathematics while playing building blocks.

 

In the opinion of a good mother, whether the child is young or young, or if he wants to be free from financial difficulties in the future, even if it is to avoid biased examinations, his mathematical ability must be improved.

 

But mathematics ability does not mean that sitting in front of the desk and doing a few pages of arithmetic problems can be trained and improved. Only by making children interested in mathematics can they better improve their mathematical thinking ability!
