Text | Rice grain mom
A few days ago, My mother sent an article "The day before yesterday, I bumped into a courier truck in the community and pulled a car of refrigerators and freezers...", and everyone in the message area was sharing their own hoarding experience
Recently, I found that when the surrounding school bully mothers hoarded goods, they did not forget to hoard books, and the material food and spiritual food were well stockpiled
Today, the rice grain mother will explore the secrets for everyone to see what books the xueba mother has selected for the baby.
When I was a child, in order to cultivate my enthusiasm for science, my grandfather often told me how cool mathematics was, came up with all kinds of tricky questions to test me, and also found Russian teaching materials, what "Jimidovich Exercises" let me see (everyone don't learn Rice Grandpa)
In view of my "unique" mathematical learning experience when I was a child, I studied mathematics at rice grains, but I put a lot of thought into it, and the children who learned mathematics well around rice grains, rice grain mother interviewed a large circle.
I found that these math primary school bullies have a great interest in mathematics, and they are not dead reading books and brainless brush problems.
They are particularly good at discovering mathematical problems in their lives, and they can also "create" their own unique solutions for mathematical knowledge that they have not learned. It's really capitalized
In fact, the math test is very different from the past, one is that the stem is very circumvent, to test your reading comprehension, and the other is that the question is closely related to life, to test your application of mathematical knowledge.
So don't let your child spend all your time brushing problems, learning and using them is the key.
"Learning" and "learning" can not see any difference in the lower grades, but the more you go, the more you can see the gap, to the middle and high school, the children who "will learn" are really like the plug-ins, invincible, invincible.
Well, the rice grain mother does not sell off the child, the cultivation of mathematical thinking does not necessarily have to be a doctor of mathematics, the math bully around the rice grain is to do one thing is: from a young age to read a lot of mathematical storybooks, illustrated books!
These mathematical storybooks and illustrated books are not only interesting, but more importantly, they integrate mathematical knowledge and mathematical concepts into life, making it easier for children to understand, and can also guide them to think independently and divergently.
Without further ado, The next rice grain mother will give everyone a large wave of Amway math books, from preschool to the upper grades of primary school.
Let's take a table of contents first (click to see the larger image)
3-5 years old
"Little Brother Mouse Loves Mathematics"
Hello! Mathematics
Mathematical Picture Book
Preschoolers, we use mathematical picture books to enlighten.
"Little Brother Mouse Loves Mathematics"
"Little Brother Mouse Loves Mathematics" has two sets, each set of 10 books, one set for 2-4 years old, and one set for 4-6 years old.
The painting style is cute and loving, and the children will certainly not refuse. The mathematical knowledge involved is not difficult, reading the story and playing games can let the child have a preliminary understanding of some basic concepts, and can also find the mathematical application scenarios in life.
Each book revolves around a "knowledge point", the 2-4-year-old set has a number, a comparison size, how much, the order of numbers, a one-to-one correspondence, spatial orientation, spatial movement, graphic cognition, capacity, and finding rules
The 4-6-year-old set has classification, ordinal number, multiple, currency conversion, measurement, stereoscopic graphics, the concept of the week, simple addition and subtraction, left and right directions, and jump numbers
For example, the same number, the 2-4 year old suit is 1 1 number
4-6 years old, it obviously increases the difficulty, from counting, to jumping numbers, such as 5 5 numbers
Picture books also have matching game materials, which can be cut out to play with children, and do mathematical enlightenment in stories and games, which is very suitable for young children.
Hello! Mathematics
This set of mathematical picture books is from South Korea, very famous, at least three or four colleagues around the rice grain mother have started this set.
There are a total of 30 volumes, divided into three stages, each stage of 10 volumes, the difficulty increases. What mathematical concepts each book corresponds to are clearly listed in the table of contents later in the book, and it is clear at a glance.
Each book examines what specific knowledge is in the big category, and the cover of the book is also marked.
The increase in difficulty is also more obvious.
For example, the classification of "quantity and comparison", in the first stage, "Long Dinosaurs, Short Dinosaurs" is still a simple ratio of length and shortness.
In the third stage, the Leaf Ruler, the length of the animal's tail is measured in any unit (leaf).
Another example is the classification of "counting and counting", the first stage of "Oops, Oops, Anybody?" is a simple understanding of sequential numbers.
In the third stage of "Counting Bean Grains", it is 10 10 numbers, 100 100 numbers.
The guides and extensions at the back of each book are the highlights.
There are reading instructions for parents and parent-child games that match the mathematical concepts in this book.
You can ask your child about "interesting math problems" to see if they understand it thoroughly.
There are also mathematical activities that cultivate the mind.
Rice grain mother feels that the only deficiency of this set of books is that the author of the book is not the same person, so the painting style is not very unified, the same is to draw small animals, just look at these three books, there are three painting styles.
Relatives who do not have any harsh requirements for the painting style can close their eyes and enter. Reading from the age of 3 to the age of 5 or 6 is still very powerful.
Mathematical Picture Book
Look at the name to know, very simple and unpretentious, this set of picture books is relatively old, but also from South Korea, there are 36 books.
He won the Outstanding Children's Book Award at the Bologna International Children's Book Fair in 2009 and the runner-up of the 15th NOMA Picture Book Illustration Award.
The same is the mathematical concept into the story, the story of this set of books is relatively long, the amount of information is large, often more knowledge points are integrated into a story.
For example, this book "Let Who Eat Well First?" In it, height is compared, weight is compared, there is a classification concept, and there is a ranking.
And it's not like Hello! There are clear one, two or three levels in Mathematics, and its difficulty span is quite large, you see, there is also the concept of fractions
Therefore, this set of "Mathematical Picture Books" is not suitable for 3-year-old children, at least four or five years old to understand.

To summarize:
1, from the perspective of difficulty, "Little Brother Mouse Loves Mathematics" < "Hello! Mathematics < Mathematical Picture Book
2, from the difficulty of grading, "Little Brother Mouse Loves Mathematics" is divided into two levels, "Hello! Mathematics is divided into three levels, and Mathematical Picture Books have no grading.
3. From the perspective of the overall painting style, "Little Brother Mouse Loves Mathematics" > "Hello! Mathematics ≈ Mathematical Picture Book
4. Behind the three sets of books are reading guides for parents, math games and thinking expansion.
It is recommended that you can match it with children to see, read the first level of "Mouse Brother Loves Mathematics" at the age of two or three, and add "Hello!" after the age of three! Mathematics" set.
If your child is very interested in mathematics and has a strong ability to understand, he can directly read the set of "Mathematical Picture Books".
Kindergarten + Elementary Grade
Math Help
Hansheng Mathematical Picture Book
Into the Wonderful World of Mathematics
Into the Wonderful Geometric World
Usborne Inside: Fundamentals of Mathematics
At the age of five or six, in the early stage of ascension, the child's comprehension ability has gone up a big step, and many things that were not understood in the past may now be thorough at one point, and they can also give examples.
At the age of three or four, they are still cute and loving stories of small animals, and at this stage, we should pay more attention to the real mathematical scenes in life.
In terms of mathematical reading, some depth and breadth can be appropriately added.
Math Help
Push this set of books, almost 5 years old can read.
The style of painting is unified, bidding farewell to the small animals, this set of books are things that happen between classmates and family members (such as laziness and do not want to do housework, do not want to go to bed early, strive for pocket money, school activities, etc.), and integrate mathematical concepts into the story, which is not contrary at all.
"Math Help" has a set of 25 books and a set of 36 books, all of which are planned according to the categories of "numbers and operations", "quantity and measurement", "graphics and geometry", "exploration of laws", and "statistics and probability".
This is a set of 25 books, each corresponding to the knowledge points, and the corresponding grade
Basically are the content of the primary and lower grades, do not be frightened by the "fourth and fifth grades", in fact, all the concepts are introduced with stories, focusing on application, not out of the exam, so even if it is the statistics and probability problems of the middle and upper grades, 5-year-old children are completely acceptable.
Colleague Chen Chen's child XiaoDouding, after reading "Mark's Pocket Money", began to count the dinosaur toys at home, herbivorous dinosaurs, carnivorous dinosaurs, omnivorous dinosaurs... I use the bar chart in the story. (After the statistics are finished, at a glance, there are too few omnivorous dinosaurs at home, let the mother buy more)
There is also "Cosmic Kid", after reading this book, Xiaodou Ding learned the bit value system notation.
He attends fitness classes with a teacher's reward of fitness coins for each lesson, which can be saved up for toys. Before counting the physical energy coins to the point of collapse, because as soon as the middle family member spoke and disturbed him, he forgot where to count.
After learning the bit value system notation method, the small bean cubes began to count dozens, put a pile, put dozens of piles, even if the middle is interrupted, you know where to count.
One of The Math Helpers' favorite parts of The Rice Mother is the "improved reading ability" on the last page of each book. In mathematical picture books, such reading guidance is rarely seen, and a book not only enhances the sense of numbers, but also exercises thinking and language skills. Relatives who have this set of books in their hands must make good use of Ha ~
Hansheng Mathematical Picture Book
Hansheng has a total of 41 books, of course, the price is not cheap, generally it is the most cost-effective to receive coupons when there is an event.
You can first take a look at its catalog, the knowledge involved is super comprehensive, preschool, primary school 1-6 grades of knowledge are all available, and even you can use it as a reference book.
(Click to enlarge)
This set of books attaches great importance to mathematical concepts, and the essence of mathematics should be to eat through the concept, because the concept is bone, the method is meat, and only by mastering the bone can it be used flexibly.
When introducing the concept, first through the children's familiar things, such as the section on decimal, first count the sticks, count the flowers, count the birds, etc., and then introduce the five decimal, discuss the relationship between the five and the decimal, and finally introduce the decimal.
Take the child to explore the answer little by little, rather than directly giving the concept, first concrete, then abstract, in-depth and simple, but also guide the child's thinking divergence, very professional.
The difficulty of this set of books is relatively large, so you can follow the previous table of contents and select the corresponding picture book to read first according to the degree of comprehension of your baby's current age.
For example, preschoolers attend preschool + math picture books corresponding to grades 1 and 2 of primary school; grades 1 and 2 can read math picture books corresponding to grades 1-4.
It doesn't matter if you're a little ahead, because they are all in the form of stories, mainly acceptable to children.
Into the Wonderful World of Mathematics
The book of master Mitsuya Anno is beautiful in style and the content is also very good.
His philosophy is that all things that are beautiful can inspire a child's sense of wonder, and I try to show that mathematics is beautiful, not necessarily difficult— mathematics is primarily a way of thinking.
In his picture books, not only mathematical knowledge is shown, but also mathematical thinking, such as divergent thinking.
Compared with Mitsuya Anno's other set of "Beautiful Mathematics", "Into the Wonderful Mathematical World" is relatively young, and there are many extensions in the book, so that children can understand mathematics more deeply through hands-on operation.
The most powerful thing about this set of books is the various details in the book, such as in "Not a Gang", which is actually to teach children the concept of classification, but the way is very special, children need to have a certain amount of popular science knowledge accumulation, but also need to use their brains to think, there is still a certain degree of difficulty.
It's fun, and it's also a little brain melon that mobilizes kids, which is great!
Into the Wonderful Geometric World
This set has nothing to do with Mitsuya Anno's "Into the Wonderful World of Mathematics", which is written by a British writer.
As we all know, geometry is very lifelike, and this set of books just integrates learning and life, so that children can watch and play while watching, and the knowledge learned can also be integrated.
And this set of books has a wide range of contents, involving natural sciences, astronomical geography, painting and sculpture, music and sports, and common sense of life, etc., and is very long-term.
The Magic Cube, The Running Ball, The Dancing Square, The Wonderful Triangle, The Flying Circle, and The Singing Line—six books that encompass all aspects of geometric knowledge.
(▲ I found 4 books at home, I don't know where the other 2 books were made by the grain of rice)
The content is all around the scenes in life, and the child has no sense of strangeness.
For example, the "circle" alone includes how to draw circles, circles in life, semicircles, pie charts, rotating circles, wheels, propellers, gears, tangents, circles in circles, rolls and rings, ellipses, spirals, and so on.
Usborne Inside: Fundamentals of Mathematics
Including 4 flip books, suitable for children aged 5-8, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, time, measurement
The best thing about this set of books is that after Mom and Dad have played with their children once or twice, the children themselves can have fun at home.
The "Usborne Look Inside" series also has a set of high-end versions, which we will talk about in more detail later.
To summarize:
1, "Math Help" strong push, almost 5-year-old children can read, can read until the first and second grades of primary school, very practical, cost-effective.
2, "Hansheng Math Picture Book" is very classic, the age span is large, the price is higher, you can read until the third and fourth grades, if the child likes this set, then there is no need to start "Math Help".
3, "Into the Wonderful Mathematical World", there are not many books, the coverage is certainly not as wide as the first two sets, but Anno Mitsuya's calligraphy and painting style are very good, and focus on cultivating children's divergent thinking, if the child has not yet gone to primary school, it is recommended to start.
4. "Into the Wonderful Geometric World", the concept and extension of pure geometric figures, children who are particularly interested in this aspect can consider.
5, "Usborn to see inside: mathematical basics" belongs to the playable math book, and the previous mathematical story picture book does not conflict, like to play parent-child games at home, edutainment of the family, recommended Oh ~
Elementary and Middle Grades
Beautiful Math
Math Planet
"Li Yupei's Mathematical Story"
Usborne Inside: Advanced Mathematics
Beautiful Math
Another set of mathematical picture books by Mitsuya Anno, through his picture books, can not only arouse children's interest in mathematics, but also feel that mathematics is beautiful.
Compared with the previous "Into the Wonderful Mathematical World", this set of difficulties spans a relatively large range, from addition and subtraction within 10, increase of numbers, factorials, permutations and combinations, hypothetical reasoning and exclusion, so it is still dominated by advanced age.
Math Planet
"Math Planet" is an illustrated work of the winner of the French Beautiful Book Award, and it is also a must-read book recommended by many primary school teachers.
It allows children to approach mathematics, understand mathematics, and become interested in mathematics from the aspects of the history of mathematics, the application of mathematics in life, and interesting phenomena in mathematics.
This set of books is not suitable for children under 6 years old, the content is more extensive, and the interest of children in the middle grade of primary school will be greater.
"Li Yupei's Mathematical Story"
The famous teacher Li Yupei, if you don't know it yet, see here
In the middle grades, children have certain comprehension skills and can read completely independently, and it is highly recommended to watch the "Li Yupei Math Stories" series.
The story is very fascinating, the picture is less and more words, but the child just can't stop watching.
The mathematical concepts in it may not have been learned yet, it doesn't matter, skip reading, and this set of books is definitely worth reading repeatedly.
In addition to the above set of 7 copies of "Li Yupei's Mathematical Story", there is also a set of 20 books
It is divided into wit series, detective series and adventure series.
Rice grain watch is particularly obsessed with the Wit Fighting series
After each story, there are intimate "knowledge point analysis" and "test you", which trigger children to think.
Usborne Inside: Advanced Mathematics
This set is an advanced version, with geometry, decimals, multiplication tables, and so on. It can be played from the lower grades to the middle grades.
This form of flipping through the books can make the concept more symbolic and easier to understand.
To summarize:
1, "Beautiful Mathematics", The work of Mitsuya Anno, the painting style is beautiful, inspiring children's mathematical thinking and divergence, but there are not many books, which can only be used as a supplement.
2, "Math Planet", there is a certain degree of difficulty, not to match the primary school mathematical knowledge points, the role is to cultivate children's interest in mathematics, combing the underlying logic of mathematics.
3, "Li Yupei Math Story", highly recommended, if parents are not sure whether the child will like, you can start with a small set (there are also single books can be bought), if the child likes, must be all in
4, "Usborne Look Inside: Mathematics Advanced", a mathematical game, more intuitive, so that mathematical concepts are visualized and easy to understand.
Elementary and upper grades
"Li Yupei's Education Insurance"
The Mathematician's Tale
"Li Yupei's Education Insurance"
Or Li Yupei, this book won the National Outstanding Popular Science Works Award, suitable for older children to read.
A book selects 3 short and medium-sized mathematical stories by Mr. Li Yupei: "Adventures in Africa", "Commander of Mathematics Niu Xiaoton" and "Dr. Strange".
According to the mathematical knowledge mastery and thinking ability level of children in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades of primary school, the mathematical knowledge points involved in the story are summarized and summarized.
The Mathematician's Tale
Seniors who are very interested in mathematics can read more about The Mathematician's Story.
When Migrain's mother was in junior high school, she read a book about Chen Jingrun, there were Goldbach conjectures, and there were various stories of Chen Jingrun's "steamed bun dipped in ink" and "walking and hitting trees", which I thought was too interesting.
So I inexplicably fell in love with mathematics, thinking that I would become a mathematician like Chen Jingrun in the future (too young too naive)
The full set runs throughout the primary school level
"Hello, Elementary School Math"
"Li Yupei Mathematical Fairy Tales"
DK's Great Mathematical Thinking
DK Illustrated Mathematics
There are some math books that can be fully integrated, covering the entire primary school stage, which is very worry-free.
"Hello, Elementary School Math"
If you want to learn mathematics well in elementary school, you need six words - to understand the basic concepts.
"Hello, Elementary School Mathematics" is the "encyclopedia" of primary school mathematics.
10 major mathematical systems, 96 mathematical concepts, 23 knowledge small classrooms, almost covering the entire primary school stage of mathematical knowledge. If these concepts are thoroughly eaten, mathematics cannot be learned or not.
Most importantly, it is in the form of a comic book, which explains very abstract mathematical concepts in a particularly lifelike way, and the children are very easy to understand
Primary school mathematics, in the final analysis, is nothing more than the ten major systems of number recognition, calculation and speed calculation, time and measurement, statistics and probability, logic and reasoning, plane graphics, three-dimensional graphics, basic applications, stroke applications and typical applications.
The 96 points of knowledge are all branches of these systems. For example, the itinerary application includes the encounter problem, the chase problem, the train crossing the bridge, the circular chase and so on.
Abstract and difficult mathematical concepts, how to make children easily understand?
For example, in the flat figure, the "circle" is recognized, and it is displayed by Uncle Mai's bicycle wheel.
Circles, centers, radii, and diameters are clear at a glance, and even the concept of equal diameter can be quickly understood by children.
The importance of the center of the circle is just a look at the way Uncle Mai rides
In addition to the vivid image of the story, another benefit is that mathematics is naturally integrated into life.
Usually how many times can not understand the area formula of the circle, the book with pizza a comparison, the child will understand in minutes, there is no need for the old mother to rack her brains, bitter mouth, hoarse exhaustion
Every discipline, its knowledge system is a big tree, all the concepts, theorems and laws are actually branches of the big tree, the branches are firm, which leaf is in which branch, you will know it.
Close the book, throw away the volume, quietly think about it, primary school mathematics, a whole 6 years, 12 books, but these 10 systems, a hundred or so mathematical concepts, children plant this "math tree" in their own minds, with what, take what, still worry about learning?
"Li Yupei Mathematical Fairy Tales"
Li Yupei is double-clicking again!
If you start with this set of 3 mathematical fairy tales, you will be able to get the primary school stage.
Among them, "Li Yupei Mathematical Fairy Tales" corresponds to the primary and lower grades, "Li Yupei Mathematical Stories Collection" corresponds to the primary and middle grades, and "Li Yupei's Mathematical Education Adventure" is the one we introduced earlier, corresponding to the primary and senior grades.
These 3 books are more classic, but the content is certainly not as much as the stories of the "Li Yupei Mathematical Stories" series we said earlier.
DK's Great Mathematical Thinking
You can always trust DK!
This book really goes through the nature of mathematics.
It tells you "what mathematics can do", "how to measure the height of pyramids", "how to predict satellite trajectories with mathematics", "how to become a billionaire with mathematical knowledge", "how to win a game", etc...
The story is combined with the illustration, and the illustrated design is imaginative, diverse, in-depth and simple, and very interesting.
DK This book does not correspond to the knowledge points of primary school mathematics one by one, to show you the table of contents
But it gives children an idea of why mathematics is mathematics, and every concept, theory, and formula of past and present lives is shown to everyone.
And the application of mathematics in life also makes children very interested, such as: try it, measure your school~
So The rice mother felt that this was more like a bedside book, and it was worth picking up and reading for a while from time to time.
DK Illustrated Mathematics
This book is also produced by DK, but compared with the previous "DK's Great Mathematical Thinking", this illustration is more "practical", that is, it focuses more on mathematical concepts, formulas, and theorems.
Just like the existence of the Xinhua Dictionary. Lo and behold, the catalog is that long
Although it is not a mathematical story, it is not boring, mainly using graphics and images to show the mathematical knowledge points more clearly, just like Singapore mathematics, this visual form is actually simplified for children to understand mathematical concepts.
All the concepts, understanding the kernel, the application is more comfortable.
Nagging, actually wrote more than 7,000 words in one breath
Today I have given you so many math books, not for you to buy them all. There are not many books, for parents, it is important to buy books, children read into it, for children, the most important thing is interesting, attractive, interested in mathematics, and learned knowledge.
So you can follow the tips marked at the back of each age group to choose a book.
We go to great lengths, but we just hope that the children can learn happily, learn with fun, love to learn and learn. That's enough.
