Mathematics is a fundamental course that children need to learn from a young age, and even before entering kindergarten, parents will actively guide their children to practice counting. From the beginning of counting directly, to the child becoming proficient and then preparing to teach them to count backwards. Compared to counting upright, counting backwards still poses some difficulty. Let me tell you how to teach babies how to count backwards.
How to teach babies to count backwards
1. Building blocks: Competitive games are activities that children enjoy, and they often have a greater interest in them. By utilizing this feature, parents can invite neighboring children to play a building block competition and see who can build the blocks high within the designated time. Countdown 20 seconds, parents should loudly read out the numbers "20-19-18-17... 5-4-3-2-1!" so that children can feel the excitement of counting down from the game, and they can indirectly learn counting down.
2. Clapping Game: Parents and children play clapping games together. Clap your hands 1 more times than you say, for example: Mom says 5, child says clap 6, 6 is 1 more than 5, clap 6 and start. Clap your hands 1 less than the number you say, for example: Mom says 3, child says clap 2, 2 is 1 less than 3, clap 2 and start. At the beginning, clap your hands according to how many children know (such as 1-10), then clap them in decreasing order.
3. Watch videos: Chang'e-1 lunar exploration satellite launch video, countdown video when the New Year bell is about to ring, traffic signal light countdown video, etc. In order to make children more aware of the application of forward and backward numbers in our daily lives and stimulate their interest in learning mathematics, we apply them in daily life. Make math activities enjoyable for young children.
The benefits of babies learning to count backwards
During early childhood, it is important to learn how to count. This includes ordinal, reciprocal, and percentile numbers. The main advantage is that in the process of counting, it allows children to know what increment is, that is, one more than the other. During the countdown process, let the children know that the number decreases gradually, that is, one is less than the other. Mathematical knowledge is closely related to our daily life, which is particularly important for children. Should we ignore it.
Advanced mathematics is a very difficult subject that can generally only be mastered by professionals, but basic mathematics is a closely related existence to daily life, and almost everyone has a certain degree of mastery. Nowadays, parents start teaching their babies some basic mathematical knowledge very early on, and learning mathematics is also an activity that can effectively exercise their thinking patterns.
