What are the ways to cultivate children's thinking ability?

Children's thinking ability is very important to learn mathematics well, especially abstract thinking ability is very important to learn mathematics well. Parents can take the following measures to improve their children's thinking ability:

Stimulate correct learning motivation and curiosity

12 years old teenagers, their brains are in a critical period of development. Parents should satisfy their children's strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and don't treat them as things unrelated to learning. We should know that expanding children's knowledge is an effective way to cultivate children's abstract thinking ability.

Train children's concentration.

Centralized thinking, also known as seeking common ground thinking, refers to finding the same law or principle from the way of solving different problems. For example, when solving math problems, use the same formula or principle to solve different application problems. In other words, parents can help children master and understand abstract principles and formulas with innovative topics when tutoring their children. Just like a tailor, knowing the principle of cutting and the characteristics of human body shape, he can make various styles and models of clothing. Teachers and parents should be careful not to engage in sea tactics when guiding children to master this skill.

Teach children to learn to draw inferences from others.

In Chinese or foreign languages, there is often a phenomenon of polysemy or multi-use of one word. Multiple solutions to one problem in math exercises are conducive to cultivating children's thinking ability. Parents can carefully select such questions in their children's textbooks and train their children's thinking ability.

Focus on heuristics

The key to enlightenment lies not only in the patience and kindness of teachers and parents to children, but also in cultivating children's ability to think diligently, so that they can ask questions from an early age and love to ask questions. Parents should let their children express their understanding of the problem when tutoring their children in arithmetic, and be good at guiding them to get the correct answer when correcting their mistakes.

Starting from perceptual objects, guide children to master correct concepts.

Generally speaking, when children learn the preliminary concepts of fraction, proportion and geometry, it is difficult to master them because of their poor abstract thinking ability. Parents should help their children understand these concepts correctly from specific images. For example, divide an apple into four parts and let children understand the concept of 1/4 from the real thing. Understand the concepts of acute angle and obtuse angle from red scarf, and the concepts of rectangle and square from building blocks.

Guide children to think loudly.

That is, let the children in the upper grades of primary school clearly express their thinking process of how to solve a problem in refined and clear language. The purpose of doing this is to cultivate children's thinking order and concentration.

Create hands-on opportunities for children

It seems trivial to teach children to keep a daily account, calculate the water fee, tell their children about the problems encountered in their work and life, and discuss solutions with their children, but over time, children will have so many opportunities to practice and learn knowledge. Children should be encouraged to make small inventions, do what they can, and use their hands and brains. The development of children's abstract thinking is often cultivated by doing.

It should be noted that children's thinking ability can not be improved overnight, and it needs long-term repeated training to have good results, so parents should not rush for success, but persevere.

Cultivate perceptual action thinking

Perception is the basis of thinking and the most basic and simple form of thinking. Children think mainly by perception from birth to 1 year. It's hard to think without perception. Therefore, the cultivation of thinking in this period is mainly to train children's perception ability. Before starting training, we must do two things well, that is, protect the children's sensory organs and provide them with an environment and conditions that can stimulate their sensory development.

Senses must be healthy and perfect in order to train perception ability. Parents should pay attention to the cleanliness of their children's sensory organs to avoid infectious diseases. If family members want to have their own special towels and handkerchiefs, towels should always be scalded with boiling water, and children should pay attention to clean water when washing their faces. Don't let children rub their eyes with their hands or dirty handkerchiefs, and parents should never dig their ears with sharp tools, which will cause external auditory canal infection, easily cut the eardrum and cause hearing impairment; When bathing and washing your hair, prevent sewage from entering your ears; Children should be treated in time if they catch a cold; Don't blow your nose hard to prevent secretions from entering the middle ear and causing otitis media. Only by comprehensively protecting the sensory function can the development of sensory perception be achieved on this basis.

The development of children's sensory perception must meet certain conditions, among which the environment is one of the most important conditions. It is also necessary to provide a good environment for children, especially the room where children live and the place where they often exercise. Two or three months after the child is born, the audio-visual sense has developed obviously, and the child's world is almost beyond the scope of a bed, so parents must arrange a soft and colorful bed world for their baby. First of all, there should be enough light in the room, but the windows and lights should not be within the child's field of vision, so as to avoid the light source itself always attracting the child and making him unable to concentrate on the object. Vivid and interesting color pictures can be hung on both sides of the bed railing or on the bedside. The main colors are red, yellow, blue and green, supplemented by other colors. Pictures are generally the graphics of a single object, including animal images, cartoon pictures, people or various geometric figures, and the sizes of these items should be moderate. In addition, colored cardboard and cloth can be cut into various geometric figures and hung on both sides of the bed. At a height of 50 ~ 70cm from the baby's chest, a rope is hung horizontally, and toys with different images and colors are tied on the rope. These toys or pictures should be changed occasionally. At this time, although children can't distinguish colors, these brightly colored objects can stimulate vision, enhance the baby's sensitivity and promote the development of vision. Three months later, the baby began to grab things. At this time, you can put some brightly colored blow-molded toys or dolls in beautiful clothes on the bed and let the children catch them, so that they can feel different colors and different things. You can also install a big mirror on the wall on the side of the crib against the wall. When a child is lying in bed or changing diapers, he can see himself and his movements. Gradually, I have a clear perceptual memory of myself, and then I develop into perceptual action thinking.

Training is the main means for children to improve their perceptual thinking, and the training for children mainly focuses on vision and hearing. Newborn babies don't take the initiative to look at objects, but are attracted by them, which is also an important reason for arranging a colorful environment for children. In order to develop children's visual ability, parents should always use colorful toys to attract their attention in Doby. More importantly, parents should often bend over to play games, draw, cut and paste, origami and other activities to train their children's perception. After the age of 3, children can be taught to master the names of some common colors, such as red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, black and white. Of course, it should be combined with the color of specific items. Parents can play games such as "finding colors" and "matching" with their children, or make a color-changing mirror for their children with colored cellophane wrapped in candy. Children are very sensitive to colors and like to paint colors on other objects to reproduce them. If paper and markers are prepared for children, then children will not paint on the wall. You can also draw the outline of some objects on paper and let the children fill in the colors. If you are afraid of children soiling clothes and tablecloths, you can use old clothes as blouses to make watercolors or colors for children, and don't inhibit children's thinking development.

In addition to training visual and auditory abilities, we should also train observation. Mainly to observe the children's own toys, food, daily necessities, furnishings in the house, flowers and plants outside the house, pedestrians and horses in the street, parents' behavior, children's chasing, playing and crying. Parents must create a broad environment and various conditions for their children in order to improve their perceptual action thinking.

Cultivate intuitive action thinking

Baby's thinking is a process accompanied by action. Children must think while doing, and when their hands stop, their thinking stops. Therefore, cultivating children's intuitive action thinking is also cultivating children's conscious behavior, which leads to thinking.

Children have all kinds of congenital movements from birth. Such as crying, scratching, sucking milk and so on. But these are just some unconditional reflections. On this basis, rich and complex human behaviors are developed. In other words, children can be trained in intuitive action thinking from birth.

From birth, babies can be trained to look up, turn over, lie prone, hold out their chest, sit on their hands, visually follow actions and respond to sounds, grasp actions and avoid reflections.

Start activity

Parents gave the child a plastic ball and let him play alone in the small room. Children will gain a lot of experience in the process of catching, finding and chasing the ball.

Children's thinking and self-awareness are developed through action. In this game, children experience the power brought by their actions in repeated catching and kicking, so as to understand the difference between themselves and objects and separate themselves from objects. This process is realized through thinking activities. Generally speaking, children can realize their own independent existence around 1 year old.

This is to promote the development of children's thinking ability and the formation of self-awareness.

Cultivate thinking in images

The thinking of infants and young children has concrete characteristics. To think in concrete images, we must have some concrete materials. And these materials are everywhere in daily life. The cultivation of figurative thinking ability can be carried out through painting, model making, photography, story telling, traveling and dancing. Here are some games for parents to use to cultivate their children's image.

Training specific thinking ability in images through painting.

Looking for the same thing

Let the child read the picture book, and then let him find out if there are any things in the room that are the same as those in the book, such as lamps, sofas, cups, tables, chairs, etc. If the child can't find or fully understand the parents' meaning at the moment, the mother can point to that thing and say, "This is the same as this!" " "It won't be long before the child will follow his mother's fingers. Mother should be happy to say to him, "Yes, they are the same. How clever the baby is! " "

This is to establish children's connection with objects and pictures, train children's recognition ability, and thus inspire children's specific thinking in images.
