Quickly is able to do mental arithmetic not everyone. Children's psychologists proved that the earlier the child will learn the account, the it is more at it than chances to succeed in mathematics and the exact sciences. If you do not want to deprive of the child of the childhood, loading it with tasks, remember, now at receipt in the first class skills of the account, letter and reading are already required therefore not to avoid training.
Instruction
1. The main thing that you have to remember when training the child - everything has to pass in playful way. Children quickly get tired and begin to distract and be capricious. To avoid it, your occupation should not be longer 30-40 minutes.
2. Grants for training have to be bright and interesting. Such that the child himself reached for them. If the kid is less than three years old, it can be soft textile books with removable inserts with numbers. You can independently make such book of rags, and for children is more senior from paper. On each card largely draw the figure and any objects which are quantitatively coinciding with this figure (two dolls, three apples, etc.). Make the field on which there will be empty sections, and figures are entered in them. Put cards a shirt up. Let the child at random pull out a card. Aloud says figure, says what is represented on the picture and puts it on the respective field. So he will remember not only quantitative, but also ordinal numerals.
3. With children is more senior it is possible to use cubes and other objects in life. Do not forget about the account and in everyday life. Train on candies and fruit. Also begin to solve small problems with the child. He had one apple, you gave it one more how many apples at it became? Or ask the kid if he took five candies and two of them already ate, then how many at him remained? Tell that each figure can be composed two others (5 it is 2 plus three, or 4th plus one). So you teach the kid to the simplest arithmetic tasks.
4. Play together with the child, sometimes specially be mistaken and give him the chance to correct you. If any task cannot do to him so far, do not insist, otherwise you will beat off all hunting to training. Postpone a difficult task, think how it is better and more clear to present it? Surely you praise the kid for his progress and encourage. You can even create the usual school diary where you will give marks.
