Both teachers, and parents know that the mathematics is a powerful factor of formation of creative and informative abilities of the child and also his intellectual development. The success of training in mathematics at elementary school depends on mathematical development of the kid at early age.
Instruction
1. Begin to study mathematics with the kid as soon as possible, at early age the brain of the child is capable to absorb and acquire the mass of useful information. Mathematical knowledge in further life will be useful for very many professions, and abilities can be shown on the basis of regular trainings by mathematics.
2. Best of all kids remember useful information in a game. Begin with the account: walking in the yard, consider the fallen-down leaflets, trees, bushes, flowers and other, along the road - the car. For example, you consider the found black cars, the kid – white or red, wins the one who will count more.
3. Help the child to master concepts "some" and it is "a lot of". Having met the passing cyclist, ask him how many bicycles he sees. After he answers: "One", ask the following question: "How many cars on the street?". Explain that there is a lot of cars if the child is at a loss with the answer. Give still similar examples. The seller has many balls, and at the girl – one. On one party streetsof grows there are a lot of trees, and on another – one.
4. Acquaint the kid with concepts "more", "less", "length", "width". On the street use improvised material: cones, leaflets, sticks, paths in the yard or in the park (more widely or already), protections (how many steps last), etc.
5. Hang out mathematical posters on the apartment: account, figures, multiplication table, figures, forms, etc. At first the kid will just consider them, then will become interested and will begin to ask questions.
6. Draw on the big sheet of paper a lodge with ten floors up, ten – down and with the ground floor (at ground level). Hang up it in a visible place that always was "in the eyes", and play with the kid. For example: "2+4" means to rise on the elevator from the 2nd floor by 4 floors up; "2 — 6" — to go down on 6 floors. Thus, you will be able "to kill two hares at once": a) the child will quickly master addition subtraction; b) you will easily and naturally enter such concept as negative numbers. If to attach a lodge magnets to the fridge, then it is possible to move visually on floors of the magnetic little man.
7. Exchange roles with the kid. Let he will turn into the teacher, and you — into the pupil. This reception is useful because reduces monotony of classes, increases the responsibility of the child, promotes storing of the fact that it is necessary just to learn by heart, for example, the same multiplication table. Sometimes answer the kid incorrectly a question to maintain in it interest and "hunting" passion of the teacher. By the way, after that he will be able to remember better problems on which he "caught" you, and the own authority of "teacher" will begin to appreciate.
