Books related to mathematics have been paying attention.
Since reading Mitsuya Anno's "Into the Wonderful World of Mathematics", I have a different understanding of the math books that children want to read. After my second eldest watched "Into the Wonderful Mathematical World" two or three times, he was a little tired. So reading math books, stopping for a while. In the middle, I found a mathematical origami book transition, until I met the "Kumazu Math Picture Book", which solved the children's mathematical "book shortage".
Originally, I thought that after reading good children's books and good math books, it seemed that I encountered math books that were suitable for children and were not so common. Reading the Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book changed my view. On the market, good mathematical picture books must still exist, as long as there is a vision of discovery. When I received the set of books "Kumatsu Mathematical Picture Book", I was shocked, filled a box, and after opening the book, I was deeply impressed by the content.
"Kumazu Math Picture Book", which is evaluated by the Korean publishing industry as the "treasure of the town society" of Kumajin Publishing House, the text content of the book is completed by a math teacher with rich practical teaching experience, together with a children's book writer, and after trial offline, a set of mathematical enlightenment books for children aged 3-6 years old.
Feeling the joy of mathematics is the premise of mathematical enlightenment
In the matter of raising a baby, in fact, I have always belonged to the category of the more Buddhist system. My eldest, when she was in kindergarten, when her classmates were very skilled in addition and subtraction within 100, my family still stayed in the addition and subtraction method of less than 10 taught in kindergarten.
The same thing is happening again. My second eldest, now in kindergarten middle class, he has classmates who are very familiar with addition and subtraction within 100. After communicating with the children's mothers, they found that the children's own interests were on the one hand, on the other hand, the pick-up and drop-off people would give the children the problems every day. If the child calculates well, will the math after going to primary school be good?
Not necessarily.
Calculations are only a small part of mathematics. If the child has a dislike of mathematics because of the continuous calculation practice, it is not worth the loss.
In the book "A Guide to Opening the Brain in Children", it is mentioned that mathematical enlightenment includes cultivating children's feelings for mathematics. If the child first has a good feeling about mathematics and has an interest in mathematics, it will be easier to enter the mathematical learning of the primary school stage after entering primary school.
Interest is the growth force that children cannot learn without. Friends have shared that among the children she brought with her, she originally did not like to read literature books. But since the children read Roald Dahl's books and felt the joy of literature, they have a strong interest in reading literary books. Interests in mathematics are very similar to developing reading habits.
With interest and a good mathematical learning experience, children will have a more pleasant experience of "mathematics". When children are young, Jews smear honey on books and let children lick the honey on books, so that children can have a good initial experience of "reading". "Kumazu Math Picture Book" is like the honey of mathematical enlightenment, after reading this set, children will feel the "sweetness" of mathematics.
1. Feel the joy of reading stories.
Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book contains 29 picture book stories in which you can feel the mathematical concepts. 29 volumes of stories, all wonderful. My second eldest, one that I read the night before, will open it and read it several times the next day, see the interest, and also call my sister together to recommend the book in my hand to my sister. Sometimes, the two children squatted like that and discussed the story in the picture book together.
2. Feel the different reading styles
The large number of authors of "Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book" makes the content, style, and design of each volume very different, which will bring children a variety of reading experiences. For example, when you open "Go to the Christmas Market", you not only have interactive handmade cards, but also pull the whole book apart and look at the picture. As soon as my child opened it, he was amazed, and his mouth kept emitting "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
And read Hello, Point! Collection, line! Folded paper, the image feels the difference in shape.
In the "Kumazu Math Picture Book", 29 mathematical picture books, children experience 29 different feelings in the process of reading. "The Joy of Children's Literature" says that "children's reading can and should be diversified", and in this set of "Kumazu Math Picture Books", "the diversity of reading" can be experienced.
3. Fun to play hidden in an exercise book
Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book, in addition to 29 picture book stories, there are also 21 volumes of exercise books. 21 workbooks, corresponding to 21 mathematical concepts, contain stickers that children like.
In the book "The Nature of Play: Why Playful Kids Are Smarter," he shares the findings that play can promote children's development in many areas. Such as problem solving, stimulating creativity, enhancing attention and so on. The 21-volume exercise book of "Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book" leads children to consolidate the mathematical knowledge they have learned and deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts in the game.
Stories, styles, games, a set of "Kumazu Math Picture Books" can make children experience 3 different reading pleasures.
In the family, mathematical initiation is carried out in this way
Mathematical enlightenment, what do we really want to enlighten children?
The Book of the Future for Parents mentions that a child's mathematical initiation consists of two levels. The core layer is to cultivate the child's sense of numbers, and the advanced level includes the ability of spatial imagination, mathematical reading, and logical reasoning. The most suitable person for children's mathematical initiation is the parent. Because in the process of enlightenment, the factor that affects children the most is emotion.
Teacher Zhang Meiling, who has studied the development of children's thinking for nearly 50 years, shared the 4 principles that need to be followed when children are enlightened in mathematics, which are summarized into 8 words: life, experience, parents, and laws.
The best source of enlightenment for children is life, and it is obtained in various activities. And in this process, as long as you want, parents will be the best teacher of enlightenment for children. One of the things that needs to be noted is that pay attention to the growth law of the child and do not advance.
Teacher Zhang Meiling pointed out that parents can provide their children with "materials and scenes that meet the needs of his age." "Kumazu Math Picture Book" is a reading material for children aged 3-6 who are very suitable for mathematical enlightenment.
Why is it said that this set of "Kumajin Math Picture Book" is very suitable for children to do mathematical enlightenment? Because its content is very complete, there is a holistic framework understanding of the concept of mathematical enlightenment, and the concepts in it cover mathematics in the first and second grades of primary school. One of the reasons why young children, who have just entered school, cannot adapt is because they cannot read written symbols, which is a process from concrete to abstract.
The core of mathematical enlightenment lies in cultivating children's sense of numbers, what is the sense of numbers? Intuitive perception of the logarithm. The Book of the Future for Parents mentions that number sense contains four meanings: sound, symbol, quantity, and order. Giving children mathematical enlightenment is the process of helping them move from figuration to abstraction.
From figurative to abstract, an important step is to become familiar with the concept. How familiar? The Book of the Future for Parents also gives a specific 4-step approach:
1. Familiarity
2. Discussion
3. Correspondence
4. In-depth
Familiarize yourself with the name, discuss the characteristics of things with the child, correspond the content of the picture and the number one by one, and finally discuss it with the child in depth.
Every picture book in Kumazu's Mathematical Picture Book basically follows these 4 steps. For example, "Hello, Point! Collection, line! In this volume, starting from the point, to the line, to the understanding of triangles and quadrilaterals, in this process, "familiar with the concept, the discussion of characteristics, the correspondence between graphics and concepts", are all integrated into the story. Before you know it, the child completes the understanding of a mathematical concept "from figurative to abstract". The game exercises that come with the book, as well as a corresponding workbook, can be used as an "in-depth discussion" section.
In each volume of the Kumatsu Mathematical Picture Book, you can see the four steps of "familiarity, discussion, correspondence, and in-depth". Frankly speaking, a math picture book, directly to the parents, let the parents to do mathematical enlightenment for their children, if there is no hint, it is also a test for parents. And "Kumazu Math Picture Book" is very intimate, in the process of playing the game, it is easy to discuss with the child.
"Xiongjin Mathematical Picture Book", in the matter of "mathematical enlightenment", professional, systematic, fun and good-looking, it is most appropriate to do mathematical enlightenment for children.
Hidden connotations, extra benefits
Leaving aside the Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book, the core of the "Mathematics" picture book, 29 picture books, each of which is an excellent picture book story. A good picture book has a very important role in the development of children's minds. Zhu Ziqiang, a scholar of children's literature, wrote in his book Why are picture books so good? In it, it is mentioned that picture book reading will bring children the ability to develop language, thinking, logic and imagination.
The development of these four abilities is reflected in the Kumazu Mathematical Picture Book. For example, logical ability, at the beginning of receiving the book, after opening, the books of various colors are interspersed and put together. After my children read it, they began to take the initiative to arrange it according to the color, because they felt that it should be like this. After reading the books, the planning of learning content is indeed classified according to color, which is actually an exercise of logical thinking for children.
It was also interesting to read the book "Owl's Dream Shop". In the children's picture books I usually read, there are fewer black rings, and when I saw the black rings in "Owl's Dream Shop", I asked in passing, "Why is it black?" My second eldest said naturally, because it was an "owl." The black ring lining of "Owl's Dream Store" seems to be a small detail, and it also hides the logic of thinking.
A good picture book story itself has a lot of content to dig into, and the child's observation ability and logical thinking ability can be practiced to varying degrees.
Reading the volume "Digital Peek-a-Boo", it is directly beautified by language.
A full moon/eyes closed, kneading snowflakes into a ball. Throw it out, throw it out hard. Wow, there's a full moon in the sky! A moon rises, a round moon rises.
When I read "Digital Peek-a-Boo" with my children, I read it several times and still felt that it was not too addictive. As I read it, I was touched by the beauty of the words. Reading and reading, my second eldest, following the words in the book, made a sequel creation. At the end of reading "Four Cheerful Little Foxes," he added: "The rainbow ran away."
At the end of reading "Nine Umbrella Flowers", he added: "Tick, tick, umbrella broken".
Reading "Digital Peek-a-Boo", I read the beauty of words and felt the imagination of children.
The above mentioned is only a partial harvest of two of the "Kumazu Mathematical Picture Books". When I took my children to read this set of "Kumazu Math Picture Book", my heart was full of emotions. Children's books for children are what they should be.
A good picture book will bring children the development of language, thinking, logic and imagination. This is the hidden advantage of Kumazu's Mathematical Picture Book, and every story is an excellent picture book.
Write in the last words
Children's learning of knowledge can be happy. The process of mathematical enlightenment can also be lighthearted and enjoyable. And "Kumazu Math Picture Book" can give children the initial beautiful and relaxing experience of mathematics.
Speaking of which, the study of knowledge is still secondary. Reading this set of "Kumajin Mathematical Picture Books", more importantly, when reading with children, it can give children a good emotional experience. This is also a process of saving money in our parent-child emotional account. A good parent-child relationship will bring great support to children in the process of growing up.
If your child is 3-6 years old, don't miss this set of "Kumazu Math Picture Book". Whether it is from mathematical enlightenment, story reading, or parent-child companionship, "Kumajin Math Picture Book" is a good choice.
