Conducting classes in the middle group of the kindergarten
Classes in the middle group should introduce childreninto the magical world of mathematics. That is why children should be taught fairy-tale characters. The teacher's task is to interest and create intrigue. Children willingly join in a mathematical game when they are surprised. The solution should hide surprises, and the action and plot should captivate the kids.Didactic games in mathematics should “capture” the childPhoto: GettyThere are several techniques that “infect” children with mathematical games:
- The effect of surprise when submitting a task. In a calm plot of a fairy tale, a character appears suddenly that suggests the conditions of the task.
- Intrigue and contradictory situation. The child must guess why a tall and narrow car will not pass under a low wide bridge.
These tasks can be written into a fairy tale or a cartoon. The character can travel and face various difficulties, which children will be happy to overcome, helping the fairy tale hero.
Educational games
Developmental activities will help you master the concepts"left" and "right" will teach you to understand the meanings of "number" and "quantity". During the games, the baby understands what time is and how geometric figures differ from each other. Children study "find the differences" pictures and solve their first logical problems.
A game about turtles that need to find an island
Each turtle, cut out of cardboard, hasThere is a certain number of dots on the shell: from 1 to 5. The numbers 1-5 are written on the cardboard palm trees depicting the islands. The child's task is to find an island for each turtle.
Classes in the preparatory group
In this group the approach to mathematics is already moreserious. Children learn poems dedicated to the importance of the subject. Little ones learn to count from 1 to 10 and vice versa. Sometimes they count from 3 to 7 or from 8 to 5. You need to guess the number that is "hidden" between the neighboring ones, determine which number is greater. Preschoolers are taught to add and subtract in a playful way. Little ones are introduced to squared notebooks, they are taught the names of the days of the week and months with them, and days and months are arranged in order. There are tasks for identifying geometric figures, but they are more complicated. You need to not only name the figure, but also find it in the overall structure. Preparing for mathematics in a playful way will not frighten the child. Having mastered the skills of counting and addition, the child will feel comfortable in mathematics lessons at school.
