How to guide students to write mathematics diaries

In practice, "mathematics diaries" often have the same phenomenon, such as completing tasks and coping. In the final analysis, it is because students have nothing to say. Say, I don’t know what to write, etc. Faced with this situation, it is very necessary to strengthen guidance. For mathematics diaries, I think we can provide guidance in the following situations:

(1) Guide students to write based on the teaching content.

The level of primary school students is limited. When arranging and designing plans, teachers should not start too high. They should consider the actual abilities and levels of students and make progress step by step. I guide them to write based on what they have learned recently. For example, after teaching the orientations of "up, down, left, right, front, and back", students were asked to give an example from their daily life, using these orientation terms. The students wrote: I am sitting in the third group, and the person sitting in front of me is Li Hua. , sitting behind is Wang Yong, sitting on the left is Dai Chao, and sitting on the right is Liu Chengcheng.

Another student wrote: The weather is very good today. My father and mother and I went to the Peace Park to ride the Healthy Express. Dad rented one. I found that this bike is different from ordinary bikes. It can be ridden by a family because it has 3 seats. Dad sat in the front, I sat in the middle, and Mom sat in the back. I was nervous at first, but then I relaxed as I rode. A gust of wind felt cool on my face. Ah, I really want to ride it again next time.

(2) Encourage students to record their true feelings.

You can write about your questions and experiences during preview or review, you can write about your own gains and losses in class, and self-evaluation. When students learn mathematics, they often experience the joy of success, and sometimes the annoyance of failure. Students express their psychological experience of learning mathematics in their diaries, so that teachers and classmates can understand it, and the students' psychology can be released.

(3) Help organize the knowledge learned.

After the end of a unit, students have more rational knowledge and insufficient perceptual knowledge accumulation. I guide students to organize the knowledge points of this unit and present them in a unique form. Some students draw knowledge structure network diagrams, some students compare knowledge points, etc.

(4) Record a learning method and recommend it to other students.

In learning mathematics activities, students constantly acquire new knowledge and incorporate it into the construction of existing knowledge. In the process, there are many methods to explore and choose. Through mathematics diary, you can write down the process of exploring and selecting methods and recommend it to other students.

(5) Record the gains and experiences of extracurricular learning

If the channels for students to obtain knowledge are limited to the classroom, it will be too narrow. In order to enable students to obtain knowledge through various channels, I encourage them to record all kinds of knowledge they have learned from the Internet, books, and elders, and share it with all students through communication, and cultivate students to study mathematics. interests, and at the same time, the way of learning changes quietly in the communication.

Today, after entering the new curriculum, "math diary" as a learning method has gradually been recognized by the majority of students and parents in our school. I was delighted to find that allowing students to keep mathematics diaries improved students' understanding that mathematics comes from life, aroused students' enthusiasm for getting close to mathematics, and realized that the joy of mathematics and life is far more vivid than "meticulous words" in books. Deeper. The words in the diary are filled with a strong breath of life, which brings the fresh green of spring to my mathematics teaching, and expresses the whispers of the children's souls. This is in line with the ancient saying: play a thousand tunes and then the dawn will sound, watch a thousand songs The sword is followed by the weapon... In short, mathematics diary, an innovative form of mathematics homework, integrates mathematics knowledge into students' lives, allowing students to realize that mathematics is everywhere in life. Of course, "Mathematical Diary" is still a newborn and deserves further exploration.
