If Mumu’s IQ is not online when doing homework, his wife will exude a domineering domineering look, and then Mumu’s intelligence will instantly improve, and she can immediately recognize the Chinese characters she doesn’t know, and can calculate the arithmetic problems she doesn’t know.
But recently Mumu has become immune, and it’s not easy to be domineering.
My wife and I began to reflect:
- Is this job too difficult? Does the difficulty of the assignment match the current age group?
- Is the learning path scientific and reasonable? Are there any prerequisites?
Assigning homework to master the heat, homework is too simple, boring; homework is too difficult, can’t reach, frustrated and lost. Children’s intelligence and knowledge reserves are growing, just like this blue curve, the right homework should be closely surrounded, fluctuating up and down.
Teaching children this is a marathon of physical, mental, and patience for parents.
Pitfalls in teaching math
At the beginning, I bought this exercise set and planned to let Mu Mu practice a few questions every day. In practice, it is impossible.
In the eyes of children, addition and subtraction are two different things, and they do not think in other places.
- Just because the child knows the operation of 1+3 = 4 does not mean that he knows 4-1 = 3
- Just because a child knows the operation of 4-1 = 3 doesn’t mean he knows 4-3 = 1
Carrying (8+4=12) is an intellectual gap that requires parental help to jump over it.
step1: 8 + ? = 10
step2: 8 + 2️⃣ = 10
step3: 4 includes 2️⃣ and 2️⃣
step4: 8 + 4 = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12
The lesson I learned from this incident is that simple knowledge that adults think is indivisible can actually be further divided into “extremely” simple knowledge, and then step by step in order.
- Addition within 5 1+1=2
- Addition within 10 2+4=6
- Subtraction within 5 5-2=3
- Subtraction within 10 10-7=3
- Addition within 20 without carry 15+3
- Carry addition within 20 8+7
- Subtraction without abdication within 20 15-3=12
- Subtraction of abdication within 20 15-7=8
Pit encountered in teaching time
Before Mu Mu was 6 years old, she always procrastinated to get up. I pointed to the clock and yelled loudly, “Look, what time is it, we’re still asleep, we still have 20 minutes.”
It’s a little embarrassing to think about it now, how could a child before the age of 6 feel the concept of “minutes”?
1 grid represents 5 minutes, 2 grids 10 minutes, 3 grids 15 minutes, already need multiplication knowledge.
And minutes to hours are in base 60, not base 10. How can a child’s IQ be understood?
A feasible method that was discovered later was to remove the minute and second hands. Let him admit it first. 1:00, 2:00, 3:00.
Then put the minute hand back and learn a little bit.
Finally, let him feel the relationship between the hour hand and the minute hand. The minute hand makes a circle, representing 1 hour.
As for the second hand, it’s useless for the time being, wait until the third grade to put it back.
training tool
-
Search for the keyword ” time worksheet ” on Google Image, and you can find a lot of clock test questions.
-
Or you can find some clock games on the Apple Store, so that children can learn about clocks by playing games, such as: Interactive Telling Time ( download )
The pitfalls of teaching English
When I was a kid, my English teacher’s assignment was usually “copy 100 words”.
I also continued this style when teaching Mumu English. Copy one word every day, and you will have 300 words a year later! I also cleverly incorporated phonics.
In practice, the effect is very poor. Even the simplest word “fox”, after 20 copies, he could not remember the spelling of the word at all.
I made the same mistakes I made when teaching math. “I think those inseparable knowledge points (chunk) can be further divided in the teaching process.”
I checked the phonics tutorial of Khan Academy Kids, the starting point of English word spelling is not from the word “fox”, but from filling in the letter.
The first level does not teach phonetic symbols, but requires children to be able to recognize consonants by ear
b/f/g/t
At the second level, phonetic symbols are still not taught, and the ear is trained to recognize consonants at the beginning of words.
?ly / ?rog / ?ight
?ee / ? ag / ?ed / ?aby
?og / ?ark / ?ad
The third level, without teaching phonetic symbols, trains the ear to recognize vowels
/a/ : ?pple
/ai/ : fl?
/ei/ : ??ght
The first three grades do not require paper work, but need to pass a large number of English picture books and stories, so that children can fully understand listening and expression.
In the fourth grade, start writing and let the children fill in the first letter according to the pronunciation of the word.
English words with a “consonant-vowel-consonant” structure are the easiest words to answer, such as bag, dad, cap, cat. Also known as CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant words) in teaching.
You can use these simplest words to practice filling in the consonants of the initials, listen to a word, and fill in the initials.
You can search for ” CVC beginning sound worksheet ” in Google Image, you can find many similar jobs, and then print them out with the printer.
In the fifth grade, let the children fill in the letters corresponding to the consonants at the end according to the pronunciation of the word.
You can search for ” CVC ending sound worksheet ” in Google Image, you can find many similar jobs, and then print them out with a printer.
In the sixth grade, let the children fill in the letters corresponding to the vowels in the middle according to the pronunciation of the words.
You can search for ” CVC middle sound worksheet ” in Google Image, you can find many similar jobs, and then print them out with the printer.
Level 7, I haven’t studied it yet, I’ll talk about it later.
experience
Simple knowledge that adults consider indivisible can actually be further divided into “extremely” simple knowledge, and then step by step in order.
In the past, kindergarten teachers often told me to lower your posture and put yourself at the height of children, so that you can better understand your children.
If Mu Mu is being stupid, nine times out of ten, there is something wrong with my teaching method.
If there is a chance, the child will be lazy, so the acceptance criteria for homework should be very clear
When the boss is away, we paddle while we work. If I don’t stare, Mumu will also paddle when she does her homework. For example, when reading, if you encounter a word you don’t know, you will automatically skip it. After the math is done, without checking, the wrong questions are frequent.
Clear acceptance criteria, so that children can not work with mud when doing homework.
Advice to your child needs to be specific and precise, and can be put into action right away.
If government documents are full of slogans and programs, the common people will not know what it is talking about, and can only be regarded as empty words, mandarin nonsense.
If the feedback and advice parents have to provide are abstract concepts, they will not be of any real help to the child.
Parents: Your attitude in class is not correct.
Child: What is impropriety? ! The brain is blank.
Parents: Do you need to work harder?
Child: What should I do next? ! The brain is blank.
Coach: Your movements are too stiff, relax!
Child: How to relax? ! The brain is blank.
Difficulty
The biggest feeling in teaching a child’s learning process is exhaustion.
My wife and I have our own jobs, our own goals, and we really don’t have the energy to guide Mu Mu in every detail. I am not a professional teacher, nor can I plan the learning roadmap of each subject, nor can I explain a knowledge point vividly and interestingly.
I’m trying to delegate some of the work to learning software, balancing hands-on with good and bad things.
Khan Academy Kids is a learning software that I use every day. It includes math, phonics, reading, and emotional expression. It can be used before grade 2. Regarding the natural spelling method of English, I have given up teaching by myself, but let Mu Mu follow the software.
When children reach 2nd grade, they can continue to use the older version of Khan Academy to learn theory lessons and share the pressure of parental tutoring.
If you are also using Khan Academy Kids, it is recommended to upgrade your account to a ” Teacher Account ” for free, which will add several features:
- Assign learning tasks to children every day
- Can view reports
- Completion can be viewed.
Some nice tools are also on my radar, but haven’t tried them yet, like brilliant.org , Scratch Pragramming
These softwares are all in English and have requirements for children’s English listening, so they are not suitable for all children. English is a tool language. It is really strongly recommended that you improve your child’s English so that you can have access to the world’s best teaching tools, which will ultimately save you learning time.
Although the software is good, staring at the screen for a long time can also damage your eyesight. Check the homework every day or give the child a little water so that he can have 2 hours of outdoor activities.
